We call for the reversal of these dangerous firings, and for Congress to move quickly to pass full-year spending bills that ensure that proposed cuts to public health are averted and federal appropriations are spent as Congress intended.

DISASTROUS: all federal #HIV guidelines are scheduled for elimination in June 2026 by @HHSGov OAR. Send comments asap to [email protected]. Federal guidelines (ART, OI, perinatal, etc.) are essential for care providers & for responsible federal spending on HIV. Please share.
Finished my last day at Ochsner and starting at MD Anderson soon! Grateful for an amazing group of ID experts in New Orleans who have become some of my best friends and colleagues. Looking forward to the new crew and partnership!

We must continue standing with Ukraine and providing them the resources they need to defend their democracy.
