Day 1 post #COVID19vaccination & little to no side-effects. Only thing is sensitive upper arms & leg muscles but that could be from exercise 😉. I was hesitant, let me not lie...but I realised that I had given many vaccines & believed in those, why would I feel differently now?
@SA_AIDSCOUNCIL #Covid19inSA #sexworkerslivesmatter
The @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL as a multi-sectoral structure that fosters dialogue and consensus between government, civil society, business and labour, has several governance structures including the Programme Review Committee.
71% of South African adults would get vaccinated if a COVID-19 vaccine was available to them, @NIDS_CRAM survey finds. Hesitancy is seen more among women and youths and in NW and WC provinces. Hesitators are mindful of social media, authors say.

The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health endorses a @UNAIDS call for action grounded in human rights principles to protect the health and rights of sex workers. Health crises like Covid-19 expose existing inequalities, @drtlaleng reports.
Strategic priorities of @drtlaleng, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health, include structural and indirect discrimination and racism, and to identify and eliminate power dynamics that perpetuate post-colonial privilege and disadvantage. Report: https://t.co/6y2yfpTvqW

Thanks to effective treatment, people living with HIV who have an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV sexually.
This brave young woman not only found acceptance when she disclosed her status to her partner, but also then got engaged! #UequalsU https://twitter.com/hspn4/status/1389924828728238083

PLWHIV are finding courage to disclose their status and our sexual partners now know it's safe to date/marry us🥰. Thanks to #UequalsU💃. Her partner's response though👌. @PreventionAC @CDCSouthAfrica @ViiVHC @PEPFAR @UNAIDS_ZAF @Mandisa_Dukashe @UNAIDS
After more than six months of diplomacy and activism (and an election), the United States will support the Coronavirus #PeoplesVaccine first proposed by South Africa and India. https://twitter.com/AmbassadorTai/status/1390021205974003720
These extraordinary times and circumstances of call for extraordinary measures.
The US supports the waiver of IP protections on COVID-19 vaccines to help end the pandemic and we’ll actively participate in @WTO negotiations to make that happen.
Promoting #circumcision as an #HIV preventive measure does not appear to increase higher-risk sexual behaviours in heterosexual men. Ongoing sexual health ed should be maintained as a vital component of effective MMC programmes. @SECTION27news @TAC @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @CsfSanac
