Fantastic to have experts from UCT Division of Public Health Medicine Health Economics Division collaborating in the IMPRINT Fungal HIV Global Research Grp group and assisting on our EFFECT Trial health economics substudy with UCL and LSTM

Super excited to be working on the #HealthEconomics aspect of this project. #EEACTs #EconomicEvaluation #Modelling #HTA #clinicaltrials

I am so excited for this trial taking place in Tanzania for a probable better treatment for PLHIV with Crypto….

Many of our investigators are participating in #ICCC2023 in Kampala this week. Today, a master class in the clinical management of cryptococcal meningitis with David Lawrence @KylaComins and colleagues from SHARE-CM discussing implementation of the AMBITION Study regimen 💊💉

Our co-CI Nelesh Govender (also @neleshg.bsky.social) presenting on CrAg screening programmes, in which the EFFECT trial is embedded. Our other co-CI @Molloy_Sile presented EFFECT Trial earlier this morning during the #ICCC2023 Clinical Track CrAg Screening sessions. Working our way to #endcryptodeaths by 2030💉💊

Valuable insights from David Lawrence on patient perspectives of the AMBITION Study regimen. Bottom line: staff and patients prefer a single dose of L-Amb. "They want one yellow, not 7 yellows"💉🟡 Now to push for implementation with SHARE-CM and IMPRINT Fungal HIV Global Research Grp 🧫🦠🧠
