There is a lack of education regarding the spread of TB in my community. As a result, the people in need of help are ridiculed and they often find themselves afraid to ask for help when they need it.
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
Ways to prevent HIV. Use protection every time during sexual intercourse. Use clean needles. For people who are pregnant get medical care right away. As for partners better get tested both for HIV and sti. Taking pill called prep daily this lower your risk of getting HIV.
In the pre-1980s its widely believed that HIV originated in Kinshasa DRC around 1920 when HIV crossed from chimpanzees to human. HIV was known and transmitted was not accompanied by noticeable symptoms. Cases of aids were prior to 1970. Almost 100 000 and 300 000 were affected
@TonyMthembuCOM1 You mention that the negative peer group could be increasing your likelihood of abusing alcohol but if you break off these friendships won't that cause you to be more lonely and depend on alcohol even more?
I feel like it's a visious cycle, your performance gets stunted and psychology you're so devasted you abuse more substances, then you feel worse about yourself and perform worse.... It's really vicious this cycle.
@Comm3724Mahla@MakumanCOMM3724 I don't know what it's called but once a year my boyfriend gets a full body scan thing where they check from blood pressure to heart rates and diseases....alles basically but idk how accessible that test is. I will get more info and share...
Did you know that you could have a deadly disease that's hiding in your body, waiting for your immune system to become penetrable and then..... Pounce. And there you find yourself in a hospital bed short of breath wondering what happened...
@COMM3724Molated I remember in High School when we got taught about HPV and most people don't understand it but I'm lucky I got that knowledge back in school. So because it kills so many people I think there should be some sought of information provided in school
So I did some research and decided to put it on a podcast, have a listen as to what's in store for you.... Remember knowledge repels fear
