Self-testing, using condoms and taking #PrEP are some of the ways in which I stay #Covered24_7 against HIV.

I’ve been on #PrEP since November 2017 and it’s honestly the best decision I have made for myself.

#MythBusting #HIV @SA_AIDSCouncil, @LoveLifeNGO, @SoulCity_SA

Taking ARVs and virally suppressed? The chances of you transmitting HIV to your partner are greatly reduced. Undetectable viral load is not a constant state, thus your viral load should be monitored frequently. Condoms should still be used to prevent other STIs. #UequalsU

We're looking forward to our continued relationship with @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL CEO, Dr Sandile Buthelezi in his new role as the Director General of @HealthZA ... Congratulations, Dr Buthelezi!

Research conducted by us has shown that there is a 30% increase in patient satisfaction when collecting medicine from ATM pharmacies over clinics. This is due to having shorter waiting times and being able to pick up medication at a location and time that is more convenient.

@SA_AIDSCOUNCIL It's very important to stick on your treatment as Lebo said that if u keep on defaulting chances for you to get sick is high for u will have a vulnerable immune system and opening gap for opportunitic diseases stay on Treatment and be #Covered24_7 💪💪💪💪

@MissManjo @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @Motsumilebo @saidy_brown Remember if you are not infected, you are affected #HIV #TB #Covered24_7...

@DingileZikhona @niqita11 @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL The HIV free generation is what’s close to my heart and the solution is there ARVS can stop the spread and minimize any unnecessary loss of life

@niqita11 @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL And it starts with us accepting our conditions and make sure we stick to the treatment so we can have and HIV free generations... If we let it not define who we are and save our loved ones by sticking to the treatment #ARVS #HIV #TB together we can make a change #Covered24_7

@simiso_shane @Motsumilebo @DingileZikhona @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL I'm really grateful for this campaign cause it is going to be so enlightening for people living with HIV

@Motsumilebo @DingileZikhona @saidy_brown @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL It really is nice that they are doing this awareness drive again.

And having them actually talk about it like this interview was so refreshing. It's like a reminder. #Covered24_7

As the world shifts it's focus to the #COVID19 pandemic, it's important not to forget about other chronic conditions such as #HIV @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL

@DingileZikhona @saidy_brown @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL It's sad that some still don't know the names of the drugs, nor do they know what a viral load is. But after this campaign I trust they will know.

@saidy_brown @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL And some don't even know how ARVs works in our immune system why they should commit & be constant is to reduce viral load & increase CD4 count, would be very beautiful if we all reach the U=U ( viral suppressed/ undetected viral) to reduce the spread of the Virus #Covered24_7

@SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @jozifm People should always practise safe sex and go get tested and not self diagnose themselves.. And the only way to find out you are infected or your partner is, they should check themselves before they even get intimate to stop the spread of Virus #Covered24_7

@SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @SANAC_CEO @HealthZA @UNAIDS_ZAF @Auruminstitute There's only one way to escape Covid19 as an HIV positive person to stick to your treatment and boost your immune system for we are at hight risk of opportunistic diseases people must commit themselves and be in charge to adhere well to their treatment.... #Covered24_7

Indeed an emergent world order is upon us. We must leverage all available platforms to transform current patterns of development and end extreme poverty. Let the #Covid_19 global pandemic inspire new thinking and closer global cooperation. #StayAtHomeSA

All appropriate medical interventions are covered by your medical aid according to @CMSCares4u #SocietyAgainstCovid19

#Covid_19SA test falls under Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB), this means your medical aid should pay for the test. #SocietyAgainstCovid19

The regulations created in response to #Covid_19SA need to be gender-sensitive regardless of the alert levels put in place. We need to ensure people who are victims of gender-based violence are protected. #SocietyAgainstCovid19

Incorporating HIV testing and TB screening into the #Covid19SA response could avoid HIV and TB being left behind, reports @SABCNews.
