A patient living with HIV with undetectable viral loads for many years asks you if they can stop their antiretroviral therapy (ART). What is the right answer and what is the underlying reason?

The answer is straight-forward: DO NOT STOP!
HIV is notorious for establishing a latent infection in a wide range of cell populations inside body. The lymphoid tissue is the major reservoir. (2/n)

Let's go back to the basics. Syphilis is from an infection by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Usually spread by sexual means, syphilis has three main stages of disease.
Primary infection usually presents as a papule that turns into a painless ulcer called a chancre.

Primary infection usually presents as a papule that turns into a painless ulcer called a chancre.

Time from inoculation to chancre usually is 10-90 days (21 days is most typical).
There is a rare variant where the patient can get many smaller ulcerations, which is called Follman balanitis.

1/ One of the privileges and duties of becoming a full professor is to write letters of evaluation for junior faculty in the promotions process at outside institutions. I give these a lot of thought and have completed 6-8 per year in the past three years.
2/ Usually, I receive an e-mail inquiry from an outside departmental administrator. When I agree to the evaluation, I am sent a promotion package prepared by the faculty member as well as a letter/document with promotions criteria by the host institution.
3/ I am increasingly troubled by requests for comparative evaluations:
Here's an example from one request letter (redactions to maintain anonymity):
• Estimate their (Dr. X's) standing in the field and compare them with other faculty of roughly the same cohort.

Emphatic NO on that one.
Need SYMPTOMS to diagnose a UTI.
I tell patients they need to tell us, we can't tell them.
