A lack of friendly services combined with structural barriers have contributed to a high and sustained incidence of #HIV in #Malawi. Learn more in this blog post by @FHI360research-er @Louis_Banda and colleague @KateRucinski:

Some great takeaways here around tailoring HIV services for key populations in Malawi. A huge lift by all involved to try and organize multiple databases and 1000s of observations. Also, a peek under the hood into how we used program data for research, warts and all...
On IDSA's and @HIVMA's Science Speaks blog, @KateRucinskiMPH and @Louis_Banda comment on their new study in OFID examining a mix of HIV testing and outreach approaches tailored to different key populations in Malawi.

We’re hiring a post-doc interested and skilled in implementation science and ending the HIV epidemic in the US. Opportunities for mentorship across a team of dynamic mentors & publication in both methods oriented and original research areas. publichealth.jhu.edu/academi… #impsci #hiv
Woke up to some life-changing news this morning. My @NIH_LRP was funded through @NIMHgov after 3 attempts! So excited for my research project, which focuses on optimizing #PrEP delivery for vulnerable young women in SSA. Thanks to my A-team for their support @shessheree @sdbaral

"We could have anticipated that inequities along socioeconomic lines would play a pivotal role in driving both infections and disparities during covid-19, and designed interventions accordingly."

Was a pleasure working with @sdbaral and @KateRucinski on this piece!
Prioritizing equity and protecting the most vulnerable is paramount in our covid-19 pandemic response. If not, then what are we doing?
@bmj_latest @JohnsHopkinsEPI
For transmissible airborne infections, what is the impact of testing if one’s living situation does not allow for isolation, work does not provide paid or unpaid sick leave, or family is dependent on income?

Such a fantastic opportunity to work with some amazing HIV researchers (who also happen to be some of my favorite people!). Apply!

A Public Health Perspective on the Potential Harms of #COVID19 #Elimination (my first thread)
I have provided a reference for each post which I think should be the standard moving forward for public health/clinical posts for @Twitter
Set up as assumptions and reality
Such an important paper and Medium post by @nikita_vis reminding us that pervasive stigma knows no bounds, and that the criminalizing and punitive policies directed towards key pops continue to have very real consequences for HIV and myriad other health outcomes. #syndemics
I wrote a review paper on stigma & HIV syndemics with
@shessheree and @sdbaral out in Curr Opin HIV AIDS, with a (debut) Medium post via @CPHHR - hope to make it open to public through accessible language and narrative!

Here we outline how the evidence base for implementation research with key pops continues to remain weak and poses real and specific challenges to epidemiologic inference, particularly in the context of the HIV response.
