Before reading this excellent perspective, I had no idea that the data supporting the use of antibiotic prophylaxis for SBP were so weak. Really time to re-think this "standard-of-care" practice! Highly recommended. #IDSky doi.org/10.1093/cid/...

Taking a page from @joshhillmd.bsky.social's book, only with an HIV focus, I am wondering -- your vote for top HIV published papers or presented studies in the past 12 months? (PURPOSE trials/lenacapavir for PrEP not allowed ... too easy!) Thank you! media.giphy.com/media/jLaez6...
