@The_DSD is committed to strengthening families, empowering women and educating both men and women about cancer. This, in return, should help to prevent the spread of cancer and afford South Africans a chance to lead a healthy family life.

The @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL has raised concerns over the possibility of an increase in #HIV and #TB cases post the #COVID19Pandemic. It says the #coronavirus has severely compromised its HIV, TB and Malaria programmes. #SABCNews

The @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL has welcomed the Global Fund's grant of over R600-million towards the fight against #COVID19inSA. SANAC says the grant - to be received by qualifying NPOs - will strengthen HIV and TB programmes during the pandemic. #SABCNews

I wasn't born fearless. Life experience taught me to be brave and take the road less travelled.

I'm sharing my most recent fearless moment ... share yours ... each experience is a diamond will help pave the road for others.

Today 10 am SA time, CEO of @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @CocekaNogoduka1 will be talking to us about how the Council has navigated #COVID19 and it’s impact on #HIV #TB #STI’s followed by a @WHO #SolidarityTrial SA update from Prof #JeremyNel. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85080633045

A caregiver’s role is central to support adherence in #children #adolescents living with #HIV. However many caregivers lack the knowledge/skills to adequately support their children. Equipping caregivers with information will support our young people to live long & healthy lives

Thread: #HealthUpdate from @HealthZA

#COVID19inSA

As @The_DSD we need to emphasise the importance of the awareness of drug use. Programs such as YOLO and ChommY have to be elevated to prevent drug use.
@SA_AIDSCOUNCIL

As we roll out our Drug Master plan, we need to look at the high cost of Methadone. The price needs to be brought down and registered as essential medicine.

In the Eastern Cape @TBHIVCare has forged a partnership with the @CsfSanac Men's Sector to address the issue of the HIV Triple 90 targets which will address the issue of men accessing services in facilities where they will be serviced by other men.

Early this year @The_DSD and @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL launched Chommy a behavior change programme for children of the republic, the main aim is to help the discover who they are and lay a solid foundation before they graduate to #YOLO @nkere_s @DrLuzile @HendriettaZulu @CandyApples818

Testing, prevention, treatment & care for adolescents living with #HIV is widely promoted, but stigma still remains a challenge in communities. One-on-one counselling & support allows a young person to speak freely about their experiences and find ways to address it. @SAHIVSoc

If you are infected with #TB and not on treatment, you may be vulnerable to #COVID19 since they are both affect respiratory system.

#covid19conversations

#youngpeople people default HIV treatment for many reasons - forgetfulness, demotivation, lack knowledge re: ongoing medication, fear of visiting clinics, side effects etc. A quick sms or whatsapp to someone on treatment may just help to keep them in care #COVID__19 #HIV #YOUTH

A THEAD:@THE_DSD @The_DSD launches a Government-to-Government social and behavioural change programme for children.

@The_DSD @OfficialSASSA @nda_rsa @USAID_SAfrica @USEmbassySA

RIP Mr. Thabethe (right) an activist and pillar of men’s movement who played a prominent role in the building of men structures in Gert Sibande District, which remains one of the few with elected men structures in all 7 Sub-Districts. Heartfelt condolences Mpumalanga #MenSector🙏🏾

As a country there is level of stigma on drug use. We have launched a stigma reduction strategy. As @The_DSD we are ready to provide the required leadership.

@ShaunMellors @Yplus_network @ICWEastAfrica @gnpplus @Youth_StopAIDS @SOASStopAIDS @SA_AIDSCOUNCIL @CsfSanac @PreventionAC @MRCza @HIVptn Absolutely! Now, much like for female condoms, female anatomy must be demystified and made easy to understand! We want to see girls who are comfortable carrying a female condom (or ring!) and insert it when needed!

11% of pregnant women needing ART ran out of their ART in May and June, 40% because of "being afraid of getting the coronavirus", but another 36% because of facility-related issues "no ART available" and "waiting time".
