There are a lot issues with blogging over HIV articles. Finding them can be the biggest problem. Then there are the repeats, rehashes & the OpEd's. There are a lot of paywalls. Which I find offensive when dealing with medical information.
I guess the most annoying, is the non-article. A piece that promises something & never delivers. It's an abstract, too brief or merely the barest brush over of an interesting topic. I find an example of the latter. It was a piece over HIV & children's cavities. It was supposed to make the point that suppression of oral biota was the causal agent not HIV, itself. The article was too brief to make a good point, to support its argument or deal with the fact HIV is probably what caused the decline in oral biota that led to the cavities. It could've been a good read.
Finding well written articles isn't easy. They aren't as common as they were & even less so with COVID happening. Still, keeping up to date is important when you're HIV+.
Cya...
