People with #HIV who struggle with adherence achieved viral suppression rates comparable to those in clinical trials when they started long-acting injectable cabotegravir & rilpivirine (Cabenuva), Dr. Monica Gandhi reported at #CROI2023.

Later today @rkfmiller@twitter.activitypub.actor will present a study on school masking for #COVID, showing that a 10% increase in kids wearing masks was associated with about a 50% decrease in the likelihood of detecting SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater from schools. #CROI2023 1/

.@MichaelPelusoMD: #LongCOVID is real & its impact is profound. As with #HIV, community engagement & advocacy are key. Everyone in this room needs to be an advocate. I'm hopeful we’ll be able to get answers for #longCOVID -- & that will also benefit people w/ MECFS. #CROI2023 /19

Reactivation of other latent common viruses. Tim Henrich et al found EBV reactivation was associated with worse COVID symptoms, but CMV went in the other direction – less likely to have LC symptoms. Are these other viruses drivers or bystanders? 8/ #CROI2023

Inflammation consistently identified in #longCOVID. Some research suggests lack of coordination among immune responses. Some patterns of immune dysregulation differ between men & women. #CROI2023 7/

.@MichaelPelusoMD at #CROI2023: Several possible mechanisms for #longCOVID including persistent infection & inflammation. He says at start of COVID he would have said difference btwn SARS-CoV-2 & #HIV is HIV persists -- but he's rethought that given growing evidence. 5/

It's been a long day at #CROI2023, but I'll attempt to live-tweet @MichaelPelusoMD's presentation on #longCOVID. Though mainly an #HIV meeting, CROI also includes the hot infectious diseases of the day. (Thanks Dr Peluso for providing advance slides & permission to share.) 1/

Love @ekvraga pointing out the utility of "observed correction" - you may not convince the person spreading the misinformation but there are others watch & they can learn & benefit from a public, empathetic, well-explained response. I've seen it happen!! #CROI2023

RT @CarlosdelRio7
What can we do to combat misinformations? @ekvraga at #CROI2023 suggests: Promoting: fill information voids & promote weight of evidence; Prebunking: give people tools to recognize & retreat when confronted with misinformation & Debunking: responding quickly with correct facts.

#CROI2023 Dr. @ekvraga : what we can do online to fight misinformation:
- Misinformation is widespread; 33% of vax content on social media. Think of platforms we aren't reaching/have access to. People believe it.
- There is information overload! Its hard to find credible info

"If I can't easily find what I'm looking for through credible sources, I'm more willing to trust whoever will tell me what I want to know," says @ekvraga, highlighting how many steps it took to find out how to get a booster for her child.

Misinformation and disinformation kill, literally. Since widespread availablity of vaccines _half_ of US #COVID19 deaths were preventable. So yes, this is a public health issue and problem. And information can make that difference!

Last day and no dresses because the weather outside is frightful! Also, I only had two dresses.
A bit harder to spot today but would still love to meet people, come say hi! #CROI2023
