Please remember that PrEP only reduces the risk of HIV and DoxyPEP only reduces the risk of syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. It does NOT provide 100% protection and does NOT protect you from all STIs ⚠️
Please use protection ‘cause safe and responsible sex is the way to go 😋
Gay soc med is crooked
Same community preaching SOGIE is also trying to define relationship standards:
Dapat may fem, no to masc4masc, Moreno + fair skin is the “ideal,” dapat may bear, not okay to date older/younger men, etc
Love is love
No shape, size, color, nor standards
Of course there’s explosion of HIV.
It’s higher among youth, because gay and bi men over thirty are already infected.
It’s higher because there’s no sex education in schools.
It’s higher because of income disparity and sex can be traded for things like an iPhone.
Mostly, it high because the governent has no plan. Read the article. If there’s no line item for HIV, there’s no coordinated plan.
“At kapag walang pondo, hindi matutugunan at kapag hindi natugunan, patuloy pong lalala itong epidemyang ito sa ating bansa.”
There needs to be a coordinated, comprensive plan that includes education, testing, prevention, HIV stigma, and treatment.
There needs to be workplace protections for PLWH. There need to be privacy protections. There needs to be opt-out HIV testing anyplace people are getting blood draws. There needs to be sex ed in schools that includes information for gay and bi youth.
Too many people are finding out they’re HIV+ because they become symptomatic, which can be too late to benefit from ARVs 💔
“I love my LGBT friends, but...”
No, mahal. If we really love them, we’d fight that they enjoy the same rights as we do. We’d educate ourselves about their struggles. We’d use our straight privilege to dismantle an old system that oppresses them. ✊🏼💜
