Excited to share a new piece in @ashejournal.bsky.social! STI care and antimicrobial stewardship programs are often siloed. However, with doxyPEP there has been a lot of concerns about stewardship. Can we integrate these fields? Yes! @shawna-san.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“AZT killed more people than AIDS” is false. I was a medical resident in the late 1980s. AZT wasn’t perfect, but it saved lives and was the first step on the way to modern HIV therapy. Evidence, history, and context here. paulsaxmd.substack.com/p/no-azt-did...

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

Noticeably silent amid the upheaval at HHS? Big pharma. Every new drug has NIH somewhere in its DNA--and NIH funding supports the training of their workforce. Now they're finding out FDA isn't safe, either. Wrote about how keeping quiet isn't working My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis for bacterial STIs: Prescribing patterns, use, short-term outcomes among 2083 patients in a Los Angeles Federally Qualified Health Care Program, and implications for widespread use.
Rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have risen dramatically over the past decades. Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis (DP) is a novel intervention to prevent bacterial STIs. Recent randomized controlled clinical trials reported high DP efficacy at preventing syphilis and chlamydia in cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women.
