One potential explanation for low level #HIV viral load in patients that are otherwise fully compliant with #antiretrovirals / #ARV / #ART
CD4 T cells that persist and reduced CD8 T cell activity. Question is, is this host or viral mediated?

Understanding the heterogeneity of HIV infection, such as in persons with non-suppressible HIV-1 viremia despite adherence to antiretroviral treatment, is crucial to better tailor therapeutic interventions to abrogate HIV-1 persistence.

I’ve had the pleasure of a few days in Geneva enjoying some fine Swiss hospitality, and fine science at ICPIC 2023. Here’s rapid reflection on scaling the risks attached to plasmid-mediated transmi…
Reminder to pick your outcomes.
Vancomycin vs Fidaxomicin in #Cdiff- same mortality, but lower recurrence with fidaxo

The hardest challenge in stewardship remains.... the people (#doctors)!
You provide point-of-care measures of bacterial infection (Biofire & PCT measurements) for patients with respiratory infection, and.... no difference in antibiotic consumption. 🤷
