📊 Every test is a step toward informed decision-making, early intervention, and community protection.

💬 Silence and stigma have cost lives. Normalizing testing saves them.

Being on TB treatment is not just about medicine, it’s about the emotional, physical, and mental strength it takes everyday .For most people, it is never easy given the stigma surrounding TB.

🦠 TB Doesn’t Knock Twice. It Sneaks Back.

Relapse isn’t rare, it is a rising case.

Tenebo Foundation is standing with survivors, raising awareness, and pushing for stronger post-treatment care.

Together, we can stop TB from coming back. 📢🩺

🗺️ Invisible Populations. Visible Risk. Kenya’s HIV progress is real but it’s not reaching everyone. ⚕️

HIV doesn’t target, it spreads. Systems choose who gets help. Let’s make care visible to those we keep invisible. 🌍

[Tenebo Africa @TeneboF]

The real measure of progress is whether every dose reaches the person who needs it, on time, every time. ⏱️

Every life deserves visibility. Every patient deserves completion of care. Every broken system deserves fixing. 📢 #TBMatters #EndTBKE #HealthSupplyJustice #FixTheSystem

💡 What does accountability look like when medicine shelves stay empty and suffering becomes routine? 🤔

The real crisis is treating avoidable failure as normal. Refuse to be silent. 📢📢

In many communities, too many are forced to choose between a meal and their medication.

Ending hunger is a moral imperative and essential to effective HIV care. Let’s build systems that nourish both body and hope. 🌱💪

🏥 When floods rise, treatment vanishes. 🧬

This is a call to:

🌱 Climate-proof our health systems.

📊 Fund data-driven, adaptive health responses.

📡 Reach communities through mobile care that moves with the storm.

🗣️ Centre the voices of those most impacted in policy.

Happy Madaraka Day! 🇰🇪

Overcrowded, Undiagnosed, Unprotected.

In the heart of Kenya’s prisons, TB is spreading like wildfire. This threat does not stay behind bars; it seeps into our communities.🦠

It is time to raise our voices and demand change. Better prison health is a community imperative. 🛡

Stop TB Kenya conducted a targeted medical camp at Osiri-Matanda Gold Mine in Nyatike, Migori County, offering TB screening, treatment linkage, and health education to miners and their families.

Viral Load 🤓💡

"Viral load" refers to the amount of HIV in a person's blood. 📊

The higher the viral load, the more active the virus is. With treatment, the viral load can drop becoming undetectable.

Even when the viral load is low, the virus can still be unpredictable. ⚠️

[Stop TB Partnership Kenya @StopTBKe]

"Before anyone is taken to prison, it is recommended that they be tested for TB first so that they can get started on treatment at an early stage. Also, periodic TB screening should be done in prisons to reduce the risk of transmission," Evaline Kibuchi to BBC Africa.

💡Myth Buster💡

Myth: "You can get HIV from casual contact like hugging, shaking hands or sharing utensils." ❌

Fact: HIV is transmitted through certain body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breastmilk. ✅

Understanding the real ways HIV spreads helps stop stigma.

[Tenebo Africa @TeneboF]

Here's why you should explore self-testing as an option:

⚕️Simple to use and needle-free. Just swab your gums. No medical training is required.

⚕️ Quick results. Find out your HIV status in as little as 20 minutes, all in the comfort of your home.

Without the BCG vaccine at birth,infants face a significantly higher risk of contracting life-threatening forms of TB. Their immature immune systems make them extremely vulnerable to rapid disease progression and severe outcomes, potentially leading to death. #ImmunizationMatters

💡Myth Buster💡

Myth: "You can tell if someone has HIV by looking at them." ❌

Fact: In reality, many people living with HIV can look perfectly healthy for years, showing no visible signs of the virus. ✅️
