1/ #IDTwitter #HIVTwitter #HIVDrugResistance

To keep the momentum going, let’s move on to transmitted drug resistance. For those just joining, we previously discussed that #HIVDrugResistance is important yet challenging for learners.
2/ We also reviewed the basic principle that HIV resistance develops when HIV replicates in the setting of subtherapeutic drug levels. Virions containing resistance mutations are selected for in this case.
3/ Today we’ll define transmitted drug resistance (TDR) (vs acquired drug resistance). TDR = acquisition of drug-resistant HIV at the time of new HIV infection. We identify TDR when we do a baseline HIV genotype (recommended for all patients who are newly diagnosed with HIV).

1/ I did my first telehealth (by phone) clinic for people living with HIV. It’s hard to discuss fears and give guidance with such uncertainty on #COVID19. I made myself a template, but am interested in what others are doing. #IDTwitter #HIVTwitter Here’s mine:
2/First I asked: What questions do you have about the new coronavirus or the COVID-19 illness?
I made sure their questions answered first but also used this as a knowledge/health literacy assessment and reviewed mechanisms of spread
3/ Social distancing: discussed what they are doing currently; encouraged 6-foot social distancing, avoiding crowds; assessed access to food, shelter, and medications; reviewed some risk mitigation strategies for work for those who are still working
