"When I started out on Broadway, 'Dreamgirls,' we lost half of our cast to AIDS."

Sheryl Lee Ralph—famous for her breakout role in the original Broadway production of 'Dreamgirls' and her ongoing portrayal of the no-nonsense kindergarten teacher on the sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'—champions another kind of teaching through her decades-long work as an activist, particularly raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.

Recently, in collaboration with the DIVA Foundation, the nonprofit she founded in 1990, Ralph executive-produced documentary special 'Living Proof' which highlights the experiences of Black women living with HIV in the South. Leading by example, Sheryl Lee Ralph is honored among TIME's 16 Women of the Year. Read her story and meet the honorees here: https://t.co/8O891bum4K

@hansxleo Now, where to start? How to begin?

[Migs DC @migidc]

Quite common in clinic consultations, when patients are diagnosed & prescribed something, they ask:

Doc, bawal na sweets/carbs?

Bawal na ba ako uminom alak?

Stop na ba magyosi?

Pwede pa ba makipagsex?

[Migs DC @migidc]

@hansxleo Seeing a lot of the discussions online, and listening to people’s sentiments in person just show that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

People don’t know harm reduction.
People don’t know where to go for help.
People don’t know how to help.

[Migs DC @migidc]

Autonomy does not cancel responsibility.

But neither does responsibility require shame.

Sometimes the role of a physician is not to police behavior —

but to walk beside you, eyes open.

Then I leave the decision where it belongs.

And I tell them:
However you want to go through this,
you don’t have to do this in the dark.

We can work on precautions.

Add a few safety nets.

Monitor closely for unwanted effects.

And hopefully avert adverse ends.

Kung sasama kayo sa pagkilos na gagawin sa September 21, mabuti na magdala na rin kayo ng mga gamot na ‘to

@JanRed1222 It’s not an illegal drug so Hindi issue magbitbit in pillbox or even by the bottle. No point lying about the meds since the pills are identifiable through a database.

Bawal lang is bringing in bulk beyond your personal use, check customs regulations.

TGIF!
This is your weekend reminder to take better care of yourself and your #sexualhealth!

[Migs DC @migidc]

Ikaw ba ay nakararanas ng kakaibang rashes na may kasabay na lagnat, pamamaga ng lymph nodes, at body pain? Maging maalam tungkol sa #Mpox at magpakonsulta lalo na kung may mga sintomas pagkaraan ng pakikipagtalik.

[Migs DC @migidc]

Check for any symptoms including flu-like symptoms even after a few days from a sexual event. If any rash develops, take clear photos and secure an online consultation thru our @LoveYourselfPh’s MpoxHotline or via @EmbraceClinic !

[Migs DC @migidc]

Kung ikaw ay isang orgynizer, you may share within your group chat that people can consult for their symptoms, especially after a recent event.

Promote health seeking behavior to keep your groups safe and secured.

Kung ikaw ay nagkaroon ng mga butlig sa katawan (lalo na sa bandang ari, pwet at bibig) na may kasamang:
-lagnat,
-pamamaga ng kulani, o
-pananakit ng katawan,

Lalo pa’t may nakasalamuhang may kaparehong sintomas;
Maaring kumonsulta para sa Mpox via teleconsulta.

@bumuhoska @HASH_Support @LoveYourselfPh I love the different take on ABC’s of Prevention!

[Migs DC @migidc]

Huwag basta tumanggap ng mga gamot na hindi naman nireseta at tinalakay nang maayos ang mga side effects ng gamot.

[Migs DC @migidc]

Kaya important to get oneself tested & access PrEP sa mga facilities or Orgs na trained to discuss & dispense PrEP.
I have encountered clients first time magpatest pero nakagamit na ng PrEP dahil inabutan ng ilang pirasong tableta ng kung sino. Kadalasan maling instructions pa.

[Cho_Pa_Iñio @hashieta]

@marvinnatural I 'am thinking Correct Me if Im wrong, Possible kaya nag RISE ang CASES because those people taking Prep Is not aware of how to take it... Meaning To say Ung iba baka Hindi naiinom ng Tama, confident na d mahahawa dhil nka take n sila nv Isang Dose or Missed Doses...

Hello! Ako po ay isang doktor na nagbibigay ng mga advice tungkol sa safe sex. Explain natin kung ano ang mga nasa photo. Tara! ⬇️

[Marv @marvinnatural]

Ang PrEP ay nagbibigay proteksyon lamang sa taong umiinom nito. Huwag makampante sa partner na nagsabi na "naka-PrEP naman", kahit pa nakita mo ang bote o uminom pa sa harap mo. Ang pag-protect sa sarili ay una't unang responsibilidad ng sarili.
