Missed this Icona #croi2024 analysis of metabolic changes on DTG/3TC vs BIC/TAF/FTC. Refreshingly longitudinal data shows lipidomic & numerical weight advantages for DTG/3TC - enough of concern here to warrant more robust evaluation of TAF & weight/other metabolic parameters

Laura Waters Gilead Sciences Paul Sax Esteban Martinez 🇺🇦 Weight gain is such an important issues for the people we see!!! Affects physical and mental health. Knocks people confidence to start a relationship etc.

Carlos del Rio Laura Waters Gilead Sciences Paul Sax That's a good one Carlos del Rio!

Laura Waters Gilead Sciences Paul Sax Esteban Martinez 🇺🇦 It should be called the “Recover study”. It’s about recovering the business from PWH who are now on LA-ART.

Struggling to understand the rationale for this Gilead Sciences study. Why would switching LA-CAB/RPV to Biktarvy be anything but safe?! If I had money to spend I'd do a trial better investigating the weight effect of TAF

We were at the BASHH annual President's Dinner in the fabulous Great Hall of Merchant Taylors' Company We said a very grateful farewell to the phenomenal president ClaireDewsnap(She/her) and we welcomed the new

Just realised, whilst watching my BHIVA best of #CROI2024 feedback, BIC dose in ARTISTRY-1 (BIC/LEN) is 75mg, 50% > dose in Biktarvy! What does this imply for faith in genetic barrier? What does this mean for patent?! Or is it just a formulation thing? Gilead Sciences

Fabulous take home points from caroline in her co-morbidity feedback from #CROI2024 for the BHIVA feedback. Some saddening data about the low expectations people have about getting older.....

It's a great BHIVA best of #CROI2024 so far!
Tristan Barber shares data on novel dosing for LA-CAB - the PK for the thigh route supports bridging but not longer-term administration......
