My first tweet ever, in good company in Mexico City Andrea Ciaranello, MD, MPH MGH Division of Infectious Diseases @mghfc Harvard CFAR

Key message of #HIVPED: we need new ways to find moms and babies with HIV to #EtHE. Simulation modeling can help identify how to best use limited resources to work toward this goal. Dr. Andrea Ciaranello presenting on behalf of CEPAC Pediatric Team. Andrea Ciaranello, MD, MPH MGH Division of Infectious Diseases

HIV treatment is critical; as it reaches more people we need high-quality systems to monitor birth outcomes. Dr. Rebecca Zash, leading this charge at #HIVped: “a public health approach that maintains gender equity requires pregnancy safety data.” Harvard CFAR NICHD News

PrEP prevents HIV — so why aren’t more people taking it? My first piece for the Harvard Health Blog. go.shr.lc/2Vd67Di

Andrea Ciaranello, MD, MPH explains the difficult decisions for WHO, guidelines committees, clinicians and patients as concerns about Dolutegravir in pregnancy were raised. #IDWeek2019

.@realdonaldtrump just said: "if it were up to the doctors, they'd shut down the entire world." Actually, if it were up to us, we'd save as many people as possible. We would follow the science & evidence. We would never put politics ahead of the public's health #covid19

How about it CDC @CDC_HIVAIDS CDC NPIN CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health? With commentary from Bruce Schackman: "We need to invest now in developing, testing, and implementing developmentally and culturally appropriate interventions if we are to achieve the goal of ending the HIV epidemic in YMSM."
