Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (#NBHAAD). This year, we're elevating the theme, Engage, Educate, Empower: Uniting to End HIV in Black Communities. This begins with you—take a test, know your status, prevent transmission, and get/stay in treatment. @mbkorgms

🧵1/ Words Matter.
They matter because they tell the stories of what we value...And because, though words weigh less than action, they often precede the decision to harm OR heal.
In medicine, we try to heal--and by oath, denounce harm.
In that spirit,we wrote this📜@NEJM

Alright all you doxy fans out there! Show the doxy some love for CAP by RTing!
Is Doxy a good pneumonia drug?
When should it NOT be used (at least as monotherapy)?
What about the evidence and the guidelines?
And macrolide and tetracycline resistance?
Is the side effect profile better?

Antibiotic Awareness week is a great time to bust the myth of IV being superior to PO.
As deeply entrenched dogma as it is, recently I’ve seen folks across medicine embrace 💊
Let’s keep working on it, & having 1:1 convos when there’s pushback.

Pharmacists in every state must allowed to prescribe hormonal contraceptives. We need to ensure our patients have equitable access to birth control.

there's a whole class of substances in toxicology called "abortifacients" which cause abortions. they can be extremely dangerous.
if Roe v Wade is overturned, abortions won't stop happening--they just stop happening legally. People will have unsafe abortions and people will die.

Y’all please go where you will be supported. Ranking programs is hard as hell, but please make sure you go where there is support during this rough time. Trust me it makes a difference ❤️ I am so lucky to be at a program who does that for me.

Also, why can't I have more than one program in progress? Why can't I submit on a program specific page when I add my designations? Why does the website look like it hasn't been touched since 2004?
