We& #39;ve been educating ourselves on how to prevent HIV but today, I& #39;m talking to HIV positive patients. Remember that HIV is not a death call. An HIV positive person can live longer than an HIV negative person. Do u know that a person is infected with HIV every 12 seconds? #YSMANG
Well I saw that in a movie. As an HIV + person, u owe it to the society to limited the spread and not to worsen it in a bid to bring HIV to the bearest minimum and eventually, an end. How do u do that?
1. It& #39;s always adviseable to tell your partner your status #YSMANG
2. Always insist on using a condom
3. Be faithful to a partner
4. Ensure your partner is on Pre Exposure Prophylaxis(PrEP). Currently, Truvada is the only approved FDA treatment but other medications are still under studies
#YSMANG
5. Always take your medications (antiretroviral drugs). This should have come earlier
6. If you don& #39;t wish to make your status known due to discrimination (topic for another day), you can always find someone of the same status with you. #YSMANG
7. Always choose the right lubricant. Avoid those with polyquaternium and polyquaternium-15 as they can both increase the risk of HIV transmission (Images used are not for ads or recommendation. Strictly for illustration) #YSMANG
While at it, always be careful. You can never be too careful. Help stop the spread. Don& #39;t knowingly transfer the virus to another person. Have a nice day
#YSMANG
