🤔 GIVING Water TO ACCIDENT VICTIMS ISN'T ALWAYS STRAIGHTFORWARD 👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👇🏿👇🏿Here are a few reasons why:
- *Risk of aspiration*: If the person is unconscious or has injuries affecting their airway, water could go down the wrong pipe and cause choking or breathing issues.
- *Surgery prep*: If the victim needs surgery, having water in their stomach could increase risks during anesthesia.
- *Head or abdominal injuries*: In some cases, giving water might worsen internal injuries.
- *Shock or trauma protocols*: First responders often prioritize stabilizing the person and getting them to a hospital.

That said, if someone's conscious and thirsty, and there's no risk of complications, a small sip might be okay—but it's best to follow emergency responders' guidance. 🚑

HIV PREVENTION TIPS👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

1. *Use condoms correctly* – Always use a new, lubricated condom for every s*xual act (vaginal, a**l, or oral). Make sure it’s put on before any contact and taken off carefully afterward.

2. *Get tested and know your status* – Regular HIV testing (and testing for other STIs) helps you know your status and get treatment early if needed. Encourage partners to test too.

3. *Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)* – If you’re at high risk (e.g., multiple partners, partner with HIV, or inconsistent condom use), talk to a healthcare provider about daily oral PrEP (e.g., Truvada) or newer options like long-acting injectable PrEP.

4. *Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)* – If you think you’ve been exposed to HIV (e.g., unprotected s*x or needle-sharing), seek medical care within 72 hours to start PEP, which can prevent infection if taken promptly.

5. *Avoid sharing needles or sharp objects* – If you use injectable drugs, always use sterile needles and never share equipment. Needle-exchange programs can help reduce risk.

6. *Limit risky behaviors* – Reducing the number of s*xual partners and avoiding alcohol or drugs that impair judgment can lower your risk.

7. *Vertical transmission prevention* – Pregnant women living with HIV should receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) to keep viral loads undetectable, which greatly reduces transmission to the baby. Delivering under medical guidance and avoiding breastfeeding (where safe alternatives are available) also helps.

8. *Stay informed on new prevention tools* – Vaccines (like the recent mpox vaccine) and advancements in long-acting prevention methods are evolving. Keep up with credible health updates.

*Quick tip:* Consistent and correct use of condoms remains one of the most effective ways to prevent HIV and other STIs. If you need help accessing condoms, testing, or PrEP/PEP, let me know—I can point you to local resources in Nigeria. ゚

*OPTHALMIA NEONATORUM*👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👇🏿👇🏿

is a fancy term for conjunctivitis (eye infection or inflammation) that happens in newborns within the first month of life — usually within the first couple of weeks. It’s a big deal because if left untreated, it can lead to serious eye damage or even blindness.

Common causes
1. *Bacterial infections* — _Neisseria gonorrhoeae_ and _Chlamydia trachomatis_ are the usual suspects. These bacteria can be passed from mom to baby during delivery if mom has an untreated infection.
2. *Other bacteria* — like _Staphylococcus aureus_, _Streptococcus pneumoniae_, or _Haemophilus influenzae_ can also cause it.
3. *Chemical irritation* — sometimes the eye drops or ointments given to newborns to prevent infection can cause a mild, non-infectious conjunctivitis.
4. *Viral infections* — less common, but viruses like herpes simplex can be a culprit.

Signs to watch out for
- Redness or swelling of the eyelids or conjunctiva
- Pus or watery discharge from the eyes
- Sticky eyelids (especially after sleep)
- Baby being fussy or uncomfortable (might be due to pain)

Prevention & treatment
- *Prevention*: Giving antibiotic eye drops or ointment (like erythromycin) to newborns right after birth helps prevent infections from _Neisseria gonorrhoeae_ and _Chlamydia_.
- *If infection occurs*: Treatment depends on the cause — bacterial infections are usually treated with topical antibiotics (eye drops or ointment), while gonococcal or chlamydial infections might need systemic antibiotics. If it’s chemical conjunctivitis, it usually clears up on its own.

If you suspect a newborn has opthalmia neonatorum, get medical help fast — early treatment is key to preventing complications.
