Mitchell Warren, AVAC's Executive Director, joins Ben to scope out a forward-looking infectious disease   prevention strategy. It is urgently needed, amidst political and economic turmoil caused by the dismantling of US aid and declines in funding from European donors. With HIV as the poster child of what once was global health solidarity, it is an opportunity for a resurgent and resilient Global South to take the reins and set priorities in how to deploy new biomedical innovations, and protecting the rights of communities affected by HIV and other pandemics. Ben and Mitchell also delve into the various legal actions the public health community is taking against the current US administration's executive orders, asking the question - how to we prep for prevention at home and internationally?  00:00 Introduction and Current Challenges in Global Health  01:09 Welcoming Mitchell Warren and AVAC's Mission  01:43 The Evolution of HIV Prevention and AVAC's Role  03:17 Current Frustrations and Challenges in HIV Prevention  05:15 The Promise and Challenges of Lenacapavir  08:03 The Importance of Choice in HIV Prevention  10:22 Navigating Funding and Policy Obstacles  12:43 The Role of Donors and Ministries in HIV Prevention  14:56 The Urgency of Lenacapavir Approval and Implementation  20:52 Sustainability and Future Planning in Global Health  25:44 Legal Battle Against Government Orders  26:50 Temporary Restraining Order and Its Implications  27:14 Government's Slow Compliance and Ongoing Legal Struggles  28:38 Public Record and Whistleblower Revelations  30:56 Impact on American Influence and Global Health  33:45 Diplomacy and Foreign Assistance  35:04 Consequences of Policy Changes  40:01 Future Strategies and Targets for Global Health  45:51 Music and Reflections on Democracy  48:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Learn more about AVAC https://avac.org   Join the Conversation How do you see the future of global health unfolding?

Email: Ilakkiah.Chandran@uhn.ca about this study!   Languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch across the sites in Canada and Netherlands.   All our kids will turn into adults and if you think people don’t understand our kids, wait till they turn into adults!  It’s worse.  There are less doctors who think in terms of genetic etiology (cause), which makes the literature so much more important.  BTW, soon we will have treated and untreated!     Dr. Andrade and her team are the best in the world.  Dravet/SCN1A is “the one”   Dr. Andrade has written multiple papers on Dravet and is the world leading expert on monogenic NDDs in adults… https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33677403/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28186331/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22780858/   She’s even looking around corners… https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40034086/   We have already been given a remarkable paper on SYNGAP1 in adults, but with a very low N=14: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38045990/.  Dr. A presented the related data at SRF Conf 2022. https://youtu.be/mRlCA816Af8   CHD2 has one now as well: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39601014/   So there are 9,997 other genes of which at most 100 have decent PAGs which all would love Dr. Andrade and her team to do the same.  So… this is our moment.   Please let us know how we can help you to finish these questionnaires: info@cureSYNGAP1.org    Thursday, May 1, 2025 #RareDisease #AdultPhenotype #AndradeRocks #SYNGAP1 #SynGAP #French #Portuguese #Spanish #Dutch #English #Brazil #UK #Canada
