Mother-to-child transmission of HIV is preventable, and we have a duty to ensure the burden of HIV is not handed down across generations.

RT @profchloeorkin: #CROI2021 Lockman argues for conceptual shifts to achieve inclusion of pregnant women in research: •Pregnant women are COMPLEX not VULNERABLE •Protect women THROUGH not FROM research •inclusion as default. Great to see our @TheLancetHIV editorial cited as ‘call to arms’ https://t.co/amLgSFjdXZ

RT @drlaurajwaters: #CROI2021 pregnant women with HIV are not niche! Protect them THROUGH research! The DTG-NTD story yielded many lessons & that millions of women received NVP instead of EFV for years based on animal studies & a few case reports also says A LOT! Amazing talk from Shahin Lockman. https://t.co/CFFwTu6K3Y
