Probably one last very important post before I migrate 👀 #WorldAidsDay2024 HIV does not kill, stigma does! Please continue to educate, research and inform (and I’ll be doing the same)

Such a pleasure to present my research on the role of identity resilience in predicting PrEP acceptability and self-efficacy! Choice in HIV prevention is meaningless without understanding the drivers behind those choices #HIVR4P2024 @iasociety

Hi Twitter 👋 I am moving on to a second phase of my research and need some volunteers for a focus group exploring perceptions of HIV. If you are keen and based in the U.K. and a gay bisexual man who has sex with men, please dm me 😄

East Sussex has become the first place in the UK to offer PrEP, which protects against infection of HIV, through remote services as part of a pilot. NHS sexual health consultant Dr Vanessa Apea tells #R4Today that the pilot aims to 'expand access' to the drug.

Poster 2 of 2 at #AIDS2024 This time presenting a quantitative exploration of psychosocial influences on PrEP acceptability. Great to discuss how we should consider intricacies of identity and resilience when designing messaging to ameliorate PrEP uptake!

Your headline is irresponsible misinformation. Antivirals aren’t “vaccines.” Antivirals inhibit the activity of viral enzymes or structural proteins. Vaccines prime the immune system to recognize and clear pathogens. Do better @guardian theguardian.com/global-devel…
