Wara l-festi u l-gost, agħmel għażliet għaqlin: Agħmel it-test għall-STIs/HIV

Għandek tittestja għall-STIs mhux biss meta jkun hemm xi sintomi. L-ittestjar huwa prattika għaqlija u responsabbli li għandek teħodha bħala drawwa jekk inti sesswalment attiv. Kemm jekk qed tibda relazzjoni esklussiva ġdida, kellek sess mhux protett ma’ sieħeb/sieħba ġdid/a, stajt kont espost għal STI/HIV, kont f’kuntatt ma’ xi ħadd li dan l-aħħar ġie djanjostikat b’STI/HIV, qsamt tagħmir
għall-użu tad-droga, jew trid skrinjar ta’ rutina. Li tagħmel test huwa essenzjali għas-saħħa tiegħek u għal saħħet ħaddieħor.

🧪Tipi ta’ testijiet għall-STIs*:
- Swabs
- Testijiet tal-awrina
- Testijiet tad-demm
- Eżami fiżiku
- Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) isir fi klinika u kapaċi jidentifika l-HIV kmieni (6–8 ġimgħat wara esponiment potenzjali). Ir-riżultati joħorġu f’madwar 20 minuta
- Kits għall-awtotestjar tal-HIV (HIV self-test kits) isir id-dar u għal riżultati preċiżi, idealment tistenna 12-il ġimgħa wara esponiment potenzjali għall-HIV biex tagħmlu. Ir-riżultati joħorġu f’madwar kwarta. Dawn il-kits huma disponibbli fl-ispiżeriji lokali u f’ċerti NGOs. Ikun aħjar jekk it-test isir ma’ ħabib/a li tafda bħala sors ta’ appoġġ. Riżultati pożittivi jeħtieġu konferma mill-GU Clinic.

After the festive fun, play smart: Get tested for STIs/HIV

STI testing is not just for when symptoms appear — it’s a wise and responsible habit for anyone s*xually active. Whether you’re beginning a new exclusive relationship, have had unprotected s*x with a new partner, may have been exposed to an STI/HIV, have been in contact with someone recently diagnosed with an STI/HIV, have shared drug-use equipment, or want routine screening. Getting tested is essential for your health and the health of others.

🧪Types of STI tests*:
- Swabs
- Urine tests
- Blood tests
- Physical examination
- Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) is offered at clinics, can detect HIV early (6-8 weeks after possible exposure), and gives results in 20 minutes.
- HIV self-test kits are home-based and are to be used 12 weeks after potential HIV exposure. Results take 15 minutes, and they are available at local pharmacies and some NGOs. Ideally, they are done with a trusted friend for support. Positive results need to be confirmed at the GU Clinic.

💬 Tkellem 🧪 Ittestja 💊 Ittratta
📢 Aktar minn STI waħda? Iva, huwa possibbli.
Wieħed jista’ jkollu iktar minn STI waħda fl-istess ħin - din tissejjaħ koinfezzjoni.
Sistema immunitarja dgħajfa (eż., HIV) jew feriti miftuħa (eż., Syphilis) jistgħu jiffaċilitaw il-proċess ta’ infezzjoni jew it-tixrid ta’ aktar minn STI waħda.

Pariri ta’ Prevenzjoni:
🔸Informa ruħek dwar il-vaċċini disponibbli (eż., HPV u Epatite B)
🔸Żomm il-ġugarelli tas-sess nodfa u għall-użu personali
🔸L-użu ta’ sustanzi jaffettwa l-kunsens sesswali - illimita l-użu tagħhom
🔸Ikkunsidra li tnaqqas il-partners sabiex tnaqqas ir-riskji
🔸Ipprattika sess aktar sigur
🔹 Uża l-kondoms għal kull att sesswali/partner
🔹Ikkonsidra l-użu ta’ PrEP u PEP biex tipprevjeni l-HIV

📢More than one STI? Yup, it’s possible.
STIs can team up - that’s called a co-infection.
A weak immune system (e.g., HIV) or open sores (e.g., Syphilis) can make it easier for more than one infection to be contracted or transmitted.

Prevention Tips:
🔸Get informed about available vaccines (e.g., HPV & Hep B)
🔸Keep s*x toys clean and for personal use
🔸Substance use affects s*xual consent – keep its use low
🔸Have fewer partners to reduce risks
🔸Practice safer s*x
🔹Consistent use of condoms for every s*xual act/partner
🔹Consider PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention

Prevention is powerful.
Condoms, PrEP, PEP, and regular testing work together to reduce HIV transmission.
PrEP protects before exposure.
PEP is an emergency option within 72 hours.
And testing keeps you informed, confident, and in control.

U=U means Undetectable = Untransmittable — and it’s one of the most important facts in HIV today.

When someone is on effective treatment and their viral load becomes undetectable, they cannot pass HIV to their s*xual partners.
This is science. This is progress. And this is how we fight stigma.

U=U protects health, supports relationships, and proves that people living with HIV can live long, healthy, fulfilling lives.

Learn it. Share it. Challenge misinformation.

Today, we honour progress, challenge stigma, and stand with everyone affected by HIV.
HIV is preventable. HIV is treatable.
And with effective treatment, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives and cannot pass the virus on when undetectable.

World AIDS Day is a call to learn, support, and act. Reducing stigma is just as important as prevention and treatment.
Together, we move toward a future where everyone feels safe, respected, and informed.

Stigma harms more than HIV. Your words can change someone’s life.
Fear and misinformation stop people from getting Tested, Treated, and Supported.
HIV is a medical condition that can be managed not a moral judgment.
When we speak with respect, share facts, and challenge harmful comments, we create safer spaces for everyone.
