It was a pizza sendoff today for our student intern Akamewane Ebude, soon-to-be University of Rochester grad. Akamewane's next stop will be Boston, where she is taking a post-baccalaureate position at Harvard — after getting her EMT certification this summer, of course.

Thanks for all you brought to the RVA table, Akamewane! Congratuations!

Two of three people treated with their own immune cells, "rejiggered" to both kill the infected cells and prevent new infection, have been able to maintain undetectable levels without medication. They are still in remission.

“It is inspiration and a potential road map to get to where we need to go,” said Dr. Steve Deeks, an H.I.V. expert at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the trial.

A study of a few patients, to be presented this week, showed promise for a type of therapy that has already cured some blood cancers.

They were among the heroic nurses around the world, mostly unsung, who put kindness and decency above risk or fear. They developed new models of care, befriended those who'd been abandoned, and held the hands of those who were dying.

If you don't know much about Ward 5B, we encourage you to learn more here. ❤️

At a time during the HIV/AIDS crises when fear was gripping society, a group of courageous nurses and caregivers helped change the course of history with their
