💔 44 million lives lost — and HIV is still not over.

HIV remains one of the world’s biggest health challenges.

*Here’s what you should know:*

🦠 HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system and is spread from body fluids of an infected person.

🤒 Symptoms of HIV vary, some may have flu-like illness including fever, headache, rash and sore throat.

⚠️ AIDS occurs at the most advanced stage of HIV infection.

🌍 About 40.8 million people worldwide are living with HIV.

⚕️ While there’s no cure, HIV can be prevented and treated.

*Reduce the risk of HIV by:*

🛡️ Using condoms

🩸 Testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections

✂️ Choosing medical male circumcision

💉 Getting safe help if you inject and use drugs

💊 Taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medicine as an additional prevention option

This World AIDS Day, let’s raise awareness of HIV and support access to prevention, treatment, and care for all.

🌴🩺 The climate crisis is a health crisis.

🚨 The 2025 Lancet Countdown report, in collaboration with WHO, shows that climate change is already costing millions of lives and straining health systems worldwide.

🌡️ Heat-related deaths increased 23% since the 1990s, with over 546,000 lives lost annually.

🔥 Droughts and wildfires are pushing millions into food insecurity, while economic losses from heat and disasters run into trillions of dollars.

*But there’s hope!*

Many communities and cities are leading the way with:

🔹 Cleaner energy
🔹 Sustainable diets
🔹 Climate-resilient health systems

🌱💚 Switching to renewable energy could save over 10 million lives each year.

📈 As COP30 approaches, we must accelerate climate action that centers on protecting health, reducing inequalities, and creating a sustainable future for all.

*Every action counts—health and climate are deeply connected.*

🦠 Did you know there's a tapeworm called Taenia solium that can cause serious health problems?

🚨 While the worm itself lives harmlessly in your gut, if eggs from contaminated food or poor hygiene enter your body, they can travel to your brain and cause seizures or epilepsy — a condition called neurocysticercosis.

🌍 This disease affects millions worldwide—estimates suggest 2.5 to 8 million people suffer from it, and it’s preventable!

*The main ways to stay safe?*

✅ Wash your hands thoroughly, especially after using the bathroom.

✅ Wash vegetables and cook pork thoroughly.

✅ Avoid using untreated human manure in farming.

✅ Educate yourself and others about transmission.

🐷 Breaking the cycle also involves vaccinating pigs and improving farming practices—part of a “One Health” approach that protects humans, animals, and the environment.

💪 Stay safe, practice good hygiene, and always follow the science.
