Mashup Score: 31Injectable HIV treatment underway in England and largely effective, but a couple of breakthrough cases raise concern - 5 day(s) ago
Injectable HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) is starting to be provided in England with several hundred patients now on the two-monthly injections.

“After I left the clinic, I got very emotional. Not because I had monkeypox…But I felt let down by the way the discourse, and the way that the infection, the virus or whatever it is, was being portrayed as well. It took me to a place where I just didn’t expect to feel in terms of my experience, as a gay man, with lots of privilege in lots of ways. Usually I felt like I had dignity in the [health] service and the way I am treated by the government and the likes of that. And it just kind of really sped away suddenly.”

Having a hidden infection with hepatitis B may undermine viral suppression after a switch to dolutegravir / lamivudine (Dovato), a study of people with HIV who simplified treatment in Italian and French clinics has concluded.

Mashup Score: 41A class of HIV drugs might protect against Alzheimer’s - 7 day(s) ago
A cohort of people with HIV who took NRTIs (a class of HIV drugs) as part of HIV treatment showed lower rates of Alzheimer’s disease than people without HIV. The team of American researchers behind this study published in the journal of Pharmaceuticals suspect HIV-like sequences in our genome to be associated with the disease and thus these HIV drugs protect against its development.
