I have been studying the harms of stigma across a range of health issues for a long time.
But, I never imagined the day when stigma would become normalized as a health policy.
It's not helping.
(and it never will)

With highly transmissible variant, mild re-infections seem common as your antibodies come down (IgA in nose; IgG go into nose) but T cells protective against severe disease

Economists have just won a Nobel prize for developing methods intended to improve causal inference, and a senior biostatistician / epidemiologist is not happy with the constant passing over of their discipline .. but it's 2002 not 2021 .. jstor.org/stable/pdf/3695806…

John Nkengasong, of the Africa C.D.C., Will Lead #PEPFAR; this just a huge pivot from simply a US foreign policy centric approach to HIV to putting emphasis in on the ground results. nytimes.com/2021/09/21/healt…

My career has focused on network and structural inequities in infectious diseases.
Was clear early to be relevant for #COVID19.
If interested, here is a talk where I make the case for this in #HIV speaking between Charlize, Elton John, Prince Harry :)

I was asked today how I would respond to someone who told me that they were planning on travelling for the holiday season.
My answer: non-judgmental individualized concrete plans about how to mitigate risks.
I'm not in business of judging people.
Just not what i signed up for.

About 492,000 sexually active gay & bi men in the US are at risk for #HIV & may benefit from #PrEP but use among gay & bi men remains low.
Increasing PrEP use in populations disproportionately affected by HIV is a key part of the plan to #EndHIVEpidemic. bit.ly/2SkRBZF
