This World AIDS Day, we’re highlighting one of the biggest misconceptions about HIV and AIDS.

One of the biggest questions our team gets asked is about HIV transmission. With significant advances in HIV and AIDS treatments, and access to antiretroviral therapy, people living with HIV are no longer progressing to AIDS, are living a regular, healthy lifespan, and their viral load can even become undetectable and untransmittable.

Undetectable = Untransmittable.

Today we honour those lost and the tragic history of HIV and AIDS, and we also celebrate those that survived. We share accurate information in order to increase awareness and break stigma.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand with all survivors of gender-based violence. At Options, we work toward a future where everyone can make informed choices about their bodies and relationships—free from fear, coercion, and physical or emotional harm.

You deserve bodily autonomy.
You deserve safety.
You deserve a world free from violence.

We also acknowledge that gender-based violence disproportionately impacts Indigenous women, trans and gender-diverse people, and other marginalized communities.

November 25 marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism, leading to December 6 and the anniversary of the 1989 Polytechnique Massacre when an act of violent misogyny took the lives of 14 women. This day serves as a sombre reminder of the need to end gender based violence.

There is a lot of fear mongering surrounding M*sturbation, lets talk about some of this misinformation.

As long as it’s not interfering with other parts of your life (relationships, mental health, work and hobbies) and as long as everyone involved is doing so with consent, it is safe and healthy to mast*rbate!

Mast*rbation cannot get you pregnant as long as you are only touching your own fluids / body. STIs can only be transferred through the exchange of blood or bodily fluids through sexual activity (or sharing drug paraphernalia or from pregnant person to child during pregnancy and birth)

Mast*rbation in private can be a great and safe way to release sexual tension and desire and have sexual pleasure. People of all ages and genders ma******te. It is as normal as sneezing, coughing, laughing, and yawning.



As a reminder meta does not like talking about topics they consider explicit, and so we have to do silly things like add asterisk in the middle of words!
