Is there any reason to check HLA-B5701 or any reason to start someone on abacavir in 2025? We will need a new random ART factoid to quiz people on if this practice goes away.

For my first bsky post, an EXCLUSIVE free idea for an ID clinical trial design: Take people reporting penicillin allergy and randomize to just ignoring it and giving whatever antibiotic you think is best vs. going through whatever the standard rigamarole is at your hospital (treatment-as-usual) 💊
