People with HIV CAN BE SURGEONS! The info on @GMB is appallingly inaccurate & outdated. Doctors in the media have a duty to not propagate myths so please issue a correction @DrHilaryJones - @NAT_AIDS_Trust @BritishHIVAssoc & @PHE_uk will be very happy to assist you I am sure!

Very excited to be at #CROI2025! Like many I've moved to Bluesky so if you can face my usual stream of data sharing, observations, fair criticisms & (IMO) hilarious sarcasm then please follow me on @drlaurajwaters.bsky.social See you there?

Coming to the @BritishHIVAssoc Spring Conference? Consider submitting a complex case! BHIVA would like submissions of tricky cases on: - Bone - Weight/Diabetes - Liver Submit here: https://t.co/7E6tk5AJtA

Chemsex is still important! So what better start to your 2025 CPD than this @rcpsych webinar on 24 Jan?! 2 hours, great speakers & no travel.....! @BritishHIVAssoc @BASHH_UK @RCPhysicians @rcgp https://t.co/HJjq44nmsu

The @UNAIDS 2024 terminology is one of many key resources that we signpost on our website. We're in the process of updating our own guidance, launching soon!!!!

Hi @UNAIDS - might I suggest, in line with your own excellent terminology guidance, you amend your 2024 fact sheet from "newly infected" to "newly diagnosed"? Replace "become infected" with "been diagnosed"? Please. Or 1.3 million new infections? Language matters. Thank you 🙂

Meet Sync. My third novel. My best novel. Out today! It's a crime thriller about synchronicity told through the voice of four female narrators who work with a Cardiff copper to solve a mystery. Pick it up here: https://t.co/PGAIdnaA6a

It's short notice but if you happen to have a free hours at 10:30 GMT tomorrow (!) Dr David Chadwick will be sharing hte latest evidence to support HIV care, I'll be moderating & chipping in...! Feel free to share 😀 @PRIME_cme

@NursedbyJoe @MeacherMolly @HumanistsUK

I support the #AssistedDying Bill. @wesstreeting pitting relief of intractable suffering against other needs was churlish - reminds me of when HIV PrEP was painted as risking cystic fibrosis funds. It's not a competition, it's a humane choice. A choice I'd like to have.

BHIVA is on tour this World AIDS Day - in Manchester working in partnership with PaSH #BHIVA24. If you cannot make it, don't worry - you can watch via weblink stream.

It takes HCWs with HIV THREE TIMES LONGER to achieve occupational health clearance than their counterparts with HBV and that can risk job offer withdrawal. This is not logical, it;s not evidence-based and it needs to change please @FOMNews #BHIVA24

#BHIVA24 kicks off with a session on Occupational Health. If new to EPP BBV screening mandatory. If already doing EPP AND changing jobs it's mandatory if you started role post 2007 but optional if pre-2007. Not sure I get the logic of that?!

Excited to see everyone today and for the great lineup! #hivta24

Amazing starting lecture by @drlaurajwaters this morning on metabolic complication of ART! Reprieve that keeps giving! #hivta24

Tonight is the night! Let's remember the past and celebrate how much progress we made in the HIV journey together. We have many surprises, gifts, guests waiting for you and only a few tickets left. Come and join us: https://t.co/ra1FaUtkf4

Meeting the 2030 targets for HIV wil be challenging. Closing Sexual Health Services like Enfield will not help. Please consider signing/sharing this petitiion: https://t.co/LzqoorD2xW

I will be voting to progress the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and I spoke about it on BBC SE Politics. I’m touched by all those contacting me, and believe we need to fix the current law that leaves people making heartbreaking choices all alone and without support.

The @Academic_MedEdu have released e-learning module 'HIV 24/7 | Clinical Considerations for Long-Acting Antiretroviral Therapy' The course provides tools for unique challenges treating people living with HIV, focusing on long-acting antiretroviral therapy https://t.co/Wh5OQ1CL5C

Al Story from the @uclh @FindandTreat team shares their incredible successes with @NHSEngland clinical leaders. Pic 2: peer-led return to care work for people with HCV. Pilot showed 8% had died, mainly related to ESLD. This is not just health equity it's a criminalisation agenda!
