Please stop telling me your COVID test is negative when you clearly have something else infectious! Flu and RSV are at crazy levels right now literally shutting down peds hospitals. Rhino is hanging out with their friend entero.

Thanks for sharing @aimaMDMPH. Shocking and unfortunately not unexpected with where we are and what continues to happen. Action is needed to address these inequities
A new analysis by awesome @MGH_MPEC colleagues (@EmilyHyle @katherinemrich) at @IDWeek2022 estimates a shocking gap of 6.3 years in life expectancy between non-Hispanic Black and white MSM with HIV. bit.ly/MSMLife.
