Gm #Nostr, as an Infectious Diseases Specialist today we celebrate the HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on Dec 1st 🎗️💝

Let me share with you some concepts about this once terrible disease that now has treatment and a cure since the last 10 or 15 years 🌎

- A person living with HIV have the posibility of a treatment and a cure. Is simple as take 1 or 2 pills a day for the rest of his/her life every day. Like a person who have Diabetes or High Blood Pressure. Simple as that 💊

- A person living with HIV who have a a sucessful treatment will have undetectable Virus in his/her blood. From that moment he/her will not trasmit VIH to another person in a sexual intercourse. Even if a condom is not used. Undetectable = Untransmittable 💗

- A person living with HIV who have a a sucessful treatment will have undetectable Virus in his/her blood can have a child without HIV 👶🍼

- HIV oral and inyectable medication can be used in risk groups (MSM, Bisexual Man, Transgender, PWID, People Who Exchange Sex for Money) to prevent the contagion of the disease. Like a woman or man who use an anticonceptive pill or inyectable every month 🏳️‍🌈

- The treatment in Argentina and most of the countries in the World is totally free given by the states and public health actors 🏥

Now that have break some walls... How can I end the VIH in the world?

The WHO goal for 2030 is to have 90% of People Living With HIV diagnosticated, 90% under treatment and 90% with no detectable virus in blood. With that goal, HIV is over in time 🤗

So you can:

- Make yourself an HIV test if you think you have a risk situation, like an underprotected sex intercourse. It's easy like a blood test of even a quick test with a drop of blood. Similar like a blood glucose testing🩸

- Use a condom, always if your couple is not known. If your couple is known both can have an HIV test is there's some doubts and you wan to swich to a different contraconceptive method ☔

- If you have some risk situation and not being protected you can quickly come to a medical center to have a emergency prophylaxis. Even if you've had unprotected sex with a patient living with HIV whose treatment isn't regular. If you are treated for HIV in the first 72 hours for 4 weeks, you can avoid getting HIV 🚑

I hope this was helpful and we broke down some barriers today. If you like this post please share it so others can have this information. And any questions you have about an infectious disease I will happily answer and zap ⚡ always for free, because in fact, it is my job 😁🌈

Have a good friday #Nostr
