@3724Jardim 1) Do you think that enough information is given or known by people who use this drug?
2) How should people who use this drug unlearn the saying "it is just a herb and not a drug"?
The effects of having unprotected sex are scary and real, some effects cannot be taken back or reversed and forces the individual to live with a bad decision they made which resulted in a few minutes of pleasure.
The most recent national survey prove an decrease of condom use among 15-24-year-olds and increase in multiple sexual partnerships for women under 24.
More people are having sex & not preventing for the possible negative consequences. We need to change that!

@3724Jardim People do not want to seek therapy for their problems and they end up drinking to escape, it is sad to witness how this affects the people around them.
I wonder if some teenagers when they get pregnant are they given an opportunity to proceed with their future and go back to school. Having a child at a young age can be emotionally draining.
TB is South Africa's leading cause of death. About 450,000 people develop the desease every year and 270,000 of those living with HIV. About 89,000 people die from it every year; that's ten people every hour. #TBisReal
Prevention is better than cure! HIV approximately affects 20% of the South African population with a 1/3 of infections belonging to young women between ages 15-24. How can this issue be addressed?

There are two types of TBs: Latent and Active. Latent TB is when a person has the TB bacteria in their body but never develops symptoms of TB. The tricky thing about latent TB is that you can have it but be unaware that you do. Fortunately, you can't pass it on to others.

This is the second episode of Always Strapped In, I hope you enjoy and get to learn something from the episode. In addition, I am joined by two men who share their perspectives on the topic.
In 2019 there were 7.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS in South Africa, but unfortunately that number has increased to 7.7 million in 2020. This is a concern as South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the world.
Always Strapped In is a Podcast which aims to educate teenagers and young adults on the risks and of not putting on a condom during sexual intercourse.
These dangers include but are not restricted to the transmission of STIs, HIV/AIDS and unplanned pregnancies.
