At #AIDS2026, we saw the first prototype of @drreddys generic lenacapavir – just over a year after regulatory approval. The first generics are on track to reach 120 countries in record time, at only US$40/person/year through an agreement negotiated by Unitaid and @CHAI_health.
The rains and lack of them at present have changed Mumbai health woes from enteric fever (pre rains) to massive spurt in respiratory aliments (Influenza including swine flu, RSV, atypical pneumonitis) occasional COVID (now picking up) and sporadic lepto.

The SNAP trial may finally resolve some of the longest-running debates in SAB management (cefazolin vs semi-synthetic PCN? Is PCN really active vs PSSA?).
Congrats to @syctong @Josh_S_Davis, and the global team who made this ambitious trial happen. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obse…

Influenza A including H1N1, typhoid fevers, dengue, urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections rising trend observed. Fever is taking its own time to go.
Falls especially in elderly due to slipping increased after rains have commenced.
Physicians note #mumbai
NGS for pathogen identification has opened up an entire new dimension for treating infections. Especially when the specimen volume is low or when every report says "no growth"
But results have to be correlated with a lot of personal, environmental & travel history
