Health › Re: How Do I Prevent HIV After Exposure? Please Help by SmartyPants(m): 6:45pm On Apr 29, 2024
Love800:
Okay.
So PrEP means taking the drug before you go to have sex?

Does it actually work? Taking PrEP before sex, does it really prevent HIV/AIDs?
If you take it correctly, yes it is effective. But these things tend to have dangerous side effects over time.

Teens giving birth in The Gambia is not a big thing... this is a rare case.

In The Gmabia, most young girls give birth before 25 either while married, or in most cases, single.
That's a lie. Gambia is one of the countries with extremely high rates of FGM because they are so big on chastity. Of course it happens but that it is common, and accepted? Never.

Can you explain dis PrEP more? I dont seem to understand.
Well, it works almost the same way as PeP but to understand the difference, you first need to understand how HIV enters the body. HIV enters the body through mucous membranes like the vaginal lining or the urethra of the penis. So while PeP drugs circulate within the body to fight HIV after it has entered the body, PrEP drugs are designed to enter these mucous membranes i mentioned above so they can fight the HIV before it even has a chance to enter the body.

So in Summary, PrEP fights HIV on the frontlines but you have to take it a few days before the expected exposure so that it can build up in your system and be present in the mucous membranes before the HIV arrives. In other words PeP is like calling police after thieves enter your compound. PrEP is like having police waiting at the gate.

That's exactly what I did. Most pharmacists I visited didn't have what I was looking for. However, this particular guy didn't either, but he offered me an alternative that he claimed would serve a similar purpose. Before he gave me Aurobindo, when I researched the drug and its ingredients online. To my surprise, I discovered that it's used to treat HIV infection, not prevent them. What I was actually looking for was a medication that could prevent HIV after potential exposure.
Okay, first of all, you need to understand the difference between pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis. PrEP is what you take when you expect to be exposed to HIV in a few days - it's commonly used by sex workers. PeP is what you take after exposure and PeP medications are simply ARVs. This means the same drugs an infected person takes to suppress HIV are exactly what you should take within the first 72 hours after an exposure, to prevent infection.

To help you understand better, the PeP is simply suppressing HIV in the system of an infected person. When you take it early enough it allows your immune system to wipe off the virus before it can find places to hide and replicate in your body. So you should be good with what you have there.

Still, your best bet is to visit a hospital for direct medical attention. Also, note that the drugs work best the closer you take them to the point of exposure. So even if you have 72 hours, taking it within the first hour is best.

Leadership in Nigeria lacks consistency. I don't like Buhari, but I like that he continued the projects that Goodluck Jonathan was working on, thus saving Nigeria billions of dollars. Every country needs consistent leadership.
This project was never started so what is there to continue?

On a comment he made when the working population was asleep is asking me to find something else to do

You were here at midnight, you’re here now and you are asking me to find something to do with myself

Wonders shall never end
Asking you to find something useful to do means stop seeking for attention! It doesn't mean you can't comment on Nairaland cheesy And you didn't stop to ask yourself why Smarty was up in the middle of the night while the "working population" was asleep? wink

Is she the only one calling him irresponsible and telling him to get married on this thread? Countless other guys have even outright insulted him, why didn’t you reply them? Or na for women matter you dey get power?

Will you die if you see a woman’s comment and ignore?

Does it give some of you erections when you reply women and argue with them or something?
huh

Madam, I think my point to her was very clear. I don't care whether she called him irresponsible or who else insulted him. He can defend himself if he wants to. I just found her particular reason hilarious. Couldn't care less whether she is a woman or a he-goat. Got it?

It's Monday morning please, find something useful to do.
Politics › Re: Umahi Gets Presidential Directive On Sokoto-Badagry Coastal Highway Design by SmartyPants(m):
Volksfuhrer:
The Sokoto-Badagry expressway is not a new project. In fact, the construction of the road commenced in 1978 and then abandoned in 1979! I’m surprised at the utter ignorance of those suggesting the road is another new shady project. After all, same road was discussed in the Senate back in 2021!

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and The Sokoto-Badagry expressway are strategic roads and have been in the pipeline for years. You guys should be grateful you now have a President willing to make real the completion of these excellent projects.
These ones should be ignored. Their criticism is driven by bitterness not sincerity. And truth be told, their opposition to these projects is of no value. So who really cares? Let them whine.

Op why do you love bringing different ladies home when you can just settle down since u have high libido, after all you are capable.

I like your attitude towards your parents though, I guess it's out of respect u don't want to misbehave in their presence, some ill mannered guys won't give a damn how he makes them feel simply because the parent are at his mercy.

You know your lifestyles, instead of wasting money on hotels, rent a room somewhere.

Please do and marry, I dislike irresponsible guys.

Who is pulling which country down?

Your ancestors never believed in Nigeria.

Even your current President do not believe in one Nigeria.

The Emzor investment you are talking about is owned by the region you despise.

No region believe in ONE NIGERIA than the Igbos only that we want a progressive country devoid of mediocrity.
1. You are asking who is pulling the country down? You don't see them evwrywhere all around you? Always angry when we make progress, always delighted when bad things happen. Stop it. You know them.

2. Which region do I despise? If at all I have a region I don't admire, it is the North West because they are violent, intolerant and unproductive.

3. You don't have to believe in one Nigeria. But for now, while our fortunes are tied together, why wish ourselves bad?
