Two new cases of people ‘cured’ of HIV following stem cell transplants to treat cancer, bringing the total cured this way to 13. Note well: this is a dangerous and arduous treatment which can not be scaled up to treat all cases of HIV - although each new case provides more insight. #AIDS2026

Celebrate every scientific success in HIV with some caution. Just because some people have been cured of HIV it doesn’t mean that a cure is available, viable or imminent for all of us yet. #hiv #hivcure #aids2026

¿Pueden las innovaciones en prevención lograr el fin del SIDA como problema de salud global para 2030? Si es así, ¿qué hace falta para ello? Sobre eso hemos hablado, y mucho, en el #AIDS2026.

@aidsmap.bsky.social version of my #AIDS2026 cure report. As Matthew notes, each of these cases provides new clues, but stem cell transplantation is far from feasible for people with HIV who don't also have life-threatening cancer.

Alternative first line HIV treatment leads to less weight gain than the standard - but has a higher risk of developing drug resistance, South African trial finds. #AIDS2026

Starting treatment with a regimen containing doravirine and tenofovir disoproxil (TDF) resulted in less weight gain than starting treatment with a regimen containing dolutegravir and tenofovir alafenamide, a South African study reported yesterday week at the 26th International AIDS Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

NOW: press conference opens #AIDS2026. Precipitous funding cut of 2.1 billion USD, means more deaths, more infections. Scientific breakthroughs like long acting prevention will continue to be kept out of reach. And Trump’s State Department is refusing to spend piles of appropriated HIV funding
