Last month, we welcomed Dr Gabriel Duette (The Westmead Institute for Medical Research) who came to talk about tuberculosis, the main cause of death in HIV-1-infected people, and how it can impact HIV-1 persistence. 👇 Watch the recording below https://lnkd.in/gaaGV-RM

✨Sign (and share) our petition!✨ We're back & this time, we need your help to teach Danaher Corporation & Cepheid a math lesson! Hint: The answer is 5. MSF and other healthcare providers use GeneXpert tests in medical programs to quickly and accurately diagnose people with TB, HIV, hepatitis and other diseases, so we can administer the right treatment in time. However, the high prices of test cartridges means that many low- and middle-income countries cannot scale up testing for all people who need it. Our research shows Cepheid and Danaher could be charging $5 for each of these medical tests and still make a profit, but instead, they charge 200 to 400% that price even in the world’s poorest countries. Help us get them to drop the price for the GeneXpert tests for ALL diseases to $5! https://lnkd.in/dhQeC--7 #TimeFor5

We are pleased to see the #DapivirineRing listed in the Devex "5 Innovations in Global Health" report. The Dapivirine Vaginal Ring is a long-acting, user-controlled vaginal ring for #HIVPrevention. Developed by IPM South Africa, an affiliate of the Population Council and part of our #CenterforBiomedicalResearchPC, the ring releases dapivirine over 28 days to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. → Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eKwS8WmE → Learn more about the dapivirine ring: https://lnkd.in/eKeH9s6i
Because a healthy life includes self-care.
Dr. Talleyrand is speaking now at the Emerald Conference. His case study of a local 42 year old patient with HIV generates prospective, observational, non-interventional, real-world evidence. Primary Objective: Identify Vape Cart formulations that significantly improve health and wellness N=1 trial is an opportunity to personalize care Whether it's a life changing illness, or everyday wellness - A healthy life includes self-care:

Some may question: ‘Aren’t the ARVs that give us an undetectable viral load, already a functional cure?’ But a functional cure could well be the first step to an actual cure. For example, the bNAbs and ARV injection combo could be every six months, then a year and then maybe after a few or more years the body makes its own bNAbs? This science holds exciting potential; yes? Read Heather Ellis' fascinating new article on communicating HIV science in Positive Living: https://ow.ly/PABB50SeZb2

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the largest global health threats of our generation, now causing more deaths than HIV/AIDS or malaria and threatening to undermine health care systems everywhere. To raise awareness and inspire action on this critical issue, the Novo Nordisk Foundation has supported two films that delve into the complexities of AMR and highlight the innovative approaches needed to overcome it.
