-if we want behavioral change, maybe instead of guilt tripping we can try to identify factors why people forget their ARTs or schedule their refills on time, and make plans to prevent it from happening again. ^_^ more power to your organization!
-I understand that the tweet has good intentions, and you want to challenge and empower PLHIV to take a more active role in taking care of themselves, but these kinds of statements can also make them feel that they can’t seek help when needed.-
We can expect people to have the same response upon discovering they have HIV. Some lose the will to live, and others fall into depression. The reason why HIV is considered a psychosocial disability is because there’s an increased risk of developing cognitive & mood disorders.-
Not the encouragement or serve you think it is, sorry. Self care and self management practices are not really common in third world countries like the Philippines, and it can be difficult for people to make adjustments like taking daily vitamins or meds on a daily basis.
