Health › Re: Sex Workers Scramble As Anti-HIV Injection Runs Out by Yong4ever(m): 10:26pm On Sep 26 |
yaroinside: Concerns are growing among sex workers and HIV prevention advocates following reported shortages of a long-acting anti-HIV injection that has become an important tool in the fight against new infections.
The injection, which offers extended protection against HIV, has been widely welcomed by people at higher risk of exposure, including sex workers, because it reduces the need for taking daily prevention pills.
However, reports indicate that supplies have run low in some locations, leaving many users uncertain about when they will receive their next dose.
Why the injection matters The long-acting injection is a form of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a preventive treatment used by HIV-negative individuals to reduce their chances of contracting the virus. Research has shown that PrEP can significantly lower HIV infection risk when used correctly.
For many sex workers, the injectable option is considered more convenient than daily medication because it requires fewer doses and can improve adherence to HIV prevention programmes.
Health experts say interruptions in access could increase anxiety among users who rely on the treatment for protection.
Fear of losing protection Some users reportedly expressed concern that missing scheduled injections could leave them vulnerable to infection, especially those whose work involves frequent contact with multiple partners.
Advocates are urging health authorities and international partners to ensure a stable supply chain to prevent disruptions in HIV prevention services.
They argue that maintaining access to preventive healthcare is essential to sustaining progress made in reducing new HIV infections among vulnerable groups.
Calls for urgent action Public health campaigners have called for quicker distribution of available supplies and better planning to avoid future shortages.
They warn that setbacks in prevention programmes could undermine years of efforts aimed at reducing HIV transmission rates.
Studies have shown that targeted HIV prevention services remain critical for populations facing elevated exposure risks, including sex workers and other vulnerable groups.
What happens next? Health stakeholders are expected to monitor the situation closely while efforts continue to restore supplies.
As for many affected users, the immediate concern is when fresh stock will arrive and whether access to the medication can be guaranteed in the coming months.

As health authorities work to address the shortage, advocates insist that uninterrupted access to HIV prevention tools must remain a priority in the broader fight against the virus.

Gboss247: How is foreign reserves related to petrol subsidy removal? It reduces forex outflow for Imported subsidized fuel (e.g., Premium Motor Spirit in Nigeria) requires the government or state oil companies to heavily fund imports with scarce foreign currency. Removing the subsidy stops this constant drain on external reserves, leaving more dollars in the Central Bank's vaults. have I answered your question now? |

These ladies ehn, when they no longer have men to approach them for serious relationship, they trend under the mirage that marriage is not what they desire. Nonsense. You can only deceive fools, marriage is biological law for every woman. They desire it. Another way of declaring being available to all men who are interested in having a taste of her at a price. |

Health › Re: Does Malt And Milk Actually Help Revive Accident Victims? by Yong4ever(m): 11:56am On May 11 |
edwinbelo7: In Nigeria, there has been this belief that has going on for as long as I can remember about giving malt drink and milk to a person in emergency situations or accidents. For example, they usually try to use this combination to revive a person who was just electrocuted. This is just one of many examples. Please, who really came up with this because it has been going on even before the popular yoruba actor Adekola Odunlade mentioned it in a movie 16 or 17 years ago. you don't give anything through the mouth to accident victim or unconscious patients because you don't know what's going on internally, if the person is bleeding within the condition could become aggravated leading to death, however if it's a case of low blood sugar and the person is losing consciousness and he or she can still tolerate orally glucose drink can actually help. |
Health › Re: Help! My 17-Year-Old Daughter Has Never Seen Her Period by Yong4ever(m): 11:35am On May 11 |
OverCalculating: My 17 years old daughter has never seen her period. I was not too worried at 16 I told her our body is different so no need to worry, but she started getting anxious since all her friends already started mensturating. She is currently in 100 level.
I took her to LASUTH, and after several tests, the doctor said she has MRKH that she was born without a womb (uterus). I didn't show her the results that day, but l have been terrified since she keeps asking for the full results, and I keep lying that the doctor is still reviewing it.
How do I tell a 17 years old that she will never men.stru@ting or carry a pregnancy? She talks about future husbands and children. My heart breaks every time. Please, parents, how do I have this conversation without scaring her for life? That's pathetic but she needs to know preferably by a female medical doctor who can break it down for her in an empathetic way,she should still consider herself lucky because it's type 1 which only affects womb and vaginal development type 2 usually involves kidney, spleen or heart,in her case a surgery to widen her vaginal can be done for sexual intercourse, her ovaries can still function which means she can consider surrogacy for childbirth, I wish her the best. |

Nairaland General › Re: If You Beg People For Help, 4 Things Will Happen. by Yong4ever(m): 9:45pm On Mar 01 |
Odebayo4010: If you beg people for help, 4 things will happen.
1. They will start avoiding you like a plague. 2. When people start avoiding you, you become a liability, 3. When people see you as a liability, they will never give you opportunity or open doors for you. 4. When people don't give you opportunity, you will not be able to exchange value for money and you will be broke.
Stop begging people. If help was not needed in life, there wouldn't have been a word called help,even dangote was once helped, show little kindness to everyone you see, there'll always be poor on the land. |
