Inside sources told me the CDC's massive HIV surveys have been halted. This essentially wastes $72 million already spent, years of effort, and 30K people's time.

Stopping the next round of surveys means trying to curb HIV in the dark. Inefficient to say the least. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

GS-US-382-5445 is the first HIV cure trial conducted in Africa, and in an entirely female population!

Vesatolimod + 2 bNAbs (VRC07-525LD + CAP256V2LS) was well tolerated & yielded durable ART-free virological control in 20% & atypical rebound dynamics in 40%

Each dot represents 10 people whose lives depend on US foreign aid, just for HIV prevention & treatment.

Without it, 1.6m people could die *per year*.

To the most beautiful whispers!
About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back
