So enjoyed being a guest on @NYUDocs last week & the community created through the Patient Experience Book Club. Couldn’t help notice how many of the group’s 100 fiction and nonfiction reads since 2012 were ID related. Holding one of my all time faves!

Thank you Christine Durand and @Dorry_Segev for your leadership of the HOPE studies allowing us to bring this closer to standard of care for PLWH. & Gratitude to the NYU TxID and Txp research teams for all the hard work over the years to participate in this for patients at NYULH.
In our latest @NEJM study https://t.co/keuQ41ND0x we have found that outcomes in patients who got an HIV kidney fare as well as someone without the virus. Let’s realize the promise of the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act.
