Let's say there are only 5m Cameroonians on Twitter. If we all follow ourselves and every morning we put up 10 tweets and everyone likes and reposts. Only cash out!!!!

The number of missing-person social media posts from Cameroon 🇨🇲 is alarming and heartbreaking 💔. These are real people: sons, daughters, parents, vanishing with families left in pain and uncertainty. This deserves urgent 🚨 attention!!! #Cameroon #MissingPersons

STDs 🦠 account for a significant proportion of preventable 🛑 infertility globally. Visit your Doctor and get yourself checked instead of accusing family members and friends.
N/B: that ‘anointing oye’😜 is not the solution either

The average duration of penetrative sex ❤️ is 3-7 minutes, not the marathon sessions you see in movies 🎥. If you thought you were ‘too quick’🐔 you’re probably perfectly normal. Try too hard and you could “come and go”😜

~4,000 girls aged 15-24 become HIV+ EACH WEEK: ~3,300 of them in Sub-Saharan Africa
These aren’t just numbers, they’re our daughters, sisters, wives, friends, etc.

They need:
- Access to PrEP
- ⁠Access to healthcare without stigma
- ⁠Economic empowerment

👨‍⚕️MD: ..a Cesarean Section is the safest option for u

🤰Lady: Never!! The devil is a liar!! Holy Ghost fire 🔥. Let me call my prophet! Pours ‘anointing oil’

😈 Devil: 😳 me? ahh 🙆🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Faith is important but doesn’t replace evidence-based medical care

Not every sore throat is a cold 🤧. Sometimes what goes down😜..shows up later with receipts in unexpected places😅. Pharyngeal (throat) STIs 🦠(Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Sylphilis, etc) are real, common, and often missed…always check with your Doc #Sexualhealth #STI #STIAwareness

Question of ze week!!

Would you date or marry someone who shares with you they are living with well-controlled HIV? #HIV #UequalsU #EndAIDS

[Modest Nwanbila @MNjingum]

Did you know?

HIV sero-different couples (1 partner is HIV+ and the other is HIV-) can have completely safe, healthy relationships.

The science behind this: U=U

What does this mean for couples?

#HIV testing myths. Watch this space for more on #3 #WorldAIDSDay2025

[Modest Nwanbila @MNjingum]

@Mungstk @VibanAK @Wakem10 @Morris_Obeng Yeah as Vibes rightly mentioned, 5M is a global estimate. In Cameroon, this number is estimated at just over 65,000 persons

[Modest Nwanbila @MNjingum]

~ 1.3 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2024

~ 5.3 million people do not know they are living with HIV

The ONLY way to know your HIV status is by taking an HIV test - take a test as an early Xmas 🎄 gift 💝 for yourself

[Modest Nwanbila @MNjingum]

@VibanAK @Mungstk @Wakem10 @Morris_Obeng That’s actually a very smart question Vibes😁

The estimated number of people unaware of their HIV status is determined through a combination of population-based surveys, analysis of global and regional HIV prevalence data, etc and then statistical modeling

Cuz it’s #WorldAIDSDay let’s start with some basics: #HIV #AIDS #HIVeducation

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

Today is #WorldAIDSDay.

The HIV response has always shown what humanity can achieve when we stand united.

Global collective action has saved millions of lives, but shrinking funding now puts this progress at risk.

Leaders must recommit to ending AIDS and saving lives.

[United Nations @UN]

Amid major funding cuts, millions living with or at risk of HIV face disrupted care, declining health and, in some cases, even death.​

@UNAIDS is calling for urgent action to ensure everyone has access to the care & support they need. https://t.co/x2RMZLasAq

@mellycrochets Em go ‘off light’ for all snacks for festive period

[Modest Nwanbila @MNjingum]

@tim_divine Also, it could, in some rare occasions be an sign for certain GI malignancies…as @tim_divine advised, see your doctor asap, ‘njangsa’ won’t help

Starting social unrest is far easier than managing it, a lesson we have learnt since 2016….my hope is for better choices to be made by all
