Even without voting rights, refugees hold indirect political weight https://t.co/cGK2aRl79u @_Tulyahabwe #MonitorUpdates

Human trafficking to the Middle East has become one of Uganda’s toughest nightmares. What should be a journey of hope too often ends in exploitation and death.

In today’s edition of the @DailyMonitor, I share my reflections examining Uganda’s…

Grateful for the opportunity to attend the @jumuiya Youth Parliament this year. It significantly contributes to the EAC vision by promoting active participation, fostering a sense of shared identity, & providing a platform for youth to address regional challenges collaboratively.

#WorldEnvironmentDay2023 is a reminder that people's actions on plastic pollution matters. The steps gov'ts & businesses are taking are the consequences of our sorry state. It's time to accelerate actions & transition to a circular economy.
It's time to #BeatPlasticPollution

[Rogers Tulyahabwe @_Tulyahabwe]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay we will launch a report by @EnviShield calling 4 increase in renewable energy use, protection of forests, compensation of people affected by development projects, ending plastic pollution & encouraging public participation in natural resource governance.

[Rogers Tulyahabwe @_Tulyahabwe]

Plastics are a danger to the ecosystem, both on land and in water.

Good news is, we can beat it, but it takes all of us.

Mother Earth claiming what belongs to her. Stop illegal sand mining now!

Mother nature is enraged around Lwera in the Ugandan central district of Kalungu. Lake Victoria has now delivered the ultimate punch. The illegal sand mining that's altering the lake basin's eco system should be stopped! #ClimateActionNow #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Our tweet chat focuses on HIV/AIDS today. After we celebrated 1st December and look forward to beating HIV by 2030, some hindrances could be caused by misinformation. Join @ActionFrontiers, and @TheDebunkShow as we fact check ✔️ these. @IMChallengeug @AfricaCheck ⁦@dhrlab⁩

@XeD256 @TheDebunkShow @AaronNiwarinda @GovUganda There is no cure for HIV, although antiretroviral treatment can control the virus, meaning that people with HIV can live long and productive healthy lives

[Aaron Niwarinda @AaronNiwarinda]

@TheDebunkShow @ActionFrontiers @GovUganda The immediate available solutions should be access to affordable healthcare in all spheres of society; Uganda in particular. There should be access to free HIV counselling, ARVs, PrEP for mostly sex workers & PEP....

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@XeD256 @TheDebunkShow @AaronNiwarinda @GovUganda It can happen if both partners have sores or wounds in their mouth. The virus can be transmitted from the positive person to the negative. This is usually possible through deep open mouth kisses, it’s unusual for closed-mouth social kisses

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@TheDebunkShow @AaronNiwarinda @GovUganda The government can also set up support group centers to provide emotional support and coping mechanisms to those people who are undergoing HIV treatment for the first time, and are willing to be part of those support groups

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@TheDebunkShow @AaronNiwarinda Individuals should take a second HIV test three months after their first, to confirm a negative reading. If they’re having regular sex, they should be getting tested every three months

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@TheDebunkShow @AaronNiwarinda develop when HIV infects the body. Depending on the test, HIV positivity could be detected after a few weeks, or up to three months after possible exposure

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@AaronNiwarinda @TheDebunkShow The long period of asymptomatic infection is why the CDC recommends that everyone between 18 and 64 be tested at least once as part of routine blood work

[Action Frontiers @ActionFrontiers]

@AaronNiwarinda @TheDebunkShow Another misconception is that someone can tell if a person is HIV-positive.

You can have HIV without any symptoms for years. The only way for you or your partner to know if you're positive is to get tested 👇
