Those of us privileged to be in the vortex of Monkeypox (MPX) info + discussions this week are inevitably getting messaged by friends asking "what would you do?' Caveat 1: this is a vastly shifting situation - what we know today will be different tomorrow + next week.

I will very occasionally say smart things.

Montreal’s Clinique L'Agora, an HIV, hepatitis C and STI clinic, played a role in identifying the first cases of #monkeypox in Canada. This is a timeline of the unfolding events. bit.ly/3MX6Lij Sébastien Poulin #cdnhealth #STBBI #sexualhealth #IDTwitter

"Pathogens do not intentionally discriminate on the basis of identity, such as race, gender, or sexual orientation—societies do—and monkeypox is no different." DrDemetre acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

A presentation not to miss! Gina Ogilvie MD DrPH #endcervicalcancer

Important work here, but also: I’ve received SO MANY messages from random people who know the two of us pointing out how cool it is that both Darrell and I - who became BFFs as silly 90s teens - now do eerily similar work in #STI and #syphilis. cbc.ca/radio/thecurre…

Sure, #STI prevention with #doxycycline is important, but so is having a cute pic of your dog in the video background | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/9620957/s…

Back to the Yukon this week, where #syphilis is also a thing. PS is this thing (ie. Twitter) still on?

"Nothing about us without us." 🎉 Celebrating 30 years of our Community Advisory Committee at our Fall Montréal Meeting! 🎉 hivnet.ubc.ca/news/2022/02/m… CAC is the first step for each study to ensure that researchers consider the priorities and concerns of people living with HIV.

My all-time favorite Venn diagram 😆

Preliminary results for the #CTN313 study evaluating daily oral doxycycline for the prevention of syphilis in men living with HIV who have sex with men will be presented at #AIDS2024 (IAC - the International AIDS Conference). Troy Grennan MD MSc FRCPC, who led the study, discussed the clinical trial with the The New York Times.

News from #AIDS2024: Doxycycline after sex (#doxyPEP) for STI prevention has been big news at recent #HIV conferences, but for people who have sex often, daily doxycycline (doxyPrEP) may be an effective option.
