“Today we remember, we support, and we commit to a world free from AIDS.”

What is HIV and AIDS?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system.
AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the advanced stage of HIV when the immune system becomes very weak.
Not everyone with HIV develops AIDS, with treatment, many people live long and healthy lives.

How HIV is transmitted? HIV can spread through:
~ Unprotected s*x (vaginal, a**l).
~ Sharing needles or syringes.
~ From mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding (but preventable with treatment).
~ Blood transfusion with contaminated blood (rare nowadays due to screening).

How HIV is NOT transmitted? You cannot get HIV from:
- Hugging, kissing, touching, or sharing utensils.
- Sweat, tears, or saliva.
- Mosquito bites.
- Toilet seats, pools, or casual contact.

SYMPTOMS
HIV often has no early symptoms, but some may experience:
* Fever. * Tiredness
* Sore throat. *. Rash
AIDS symptoms can include:
* Extreme weight loss. * Frequent infections
* Night sweats. *. Persistent fever

PREVENTION
❤️ Use condoms correctly and consistently.
❤️ Get tested regularly.
❤️ Avoid sharing needles.
❤️ Take PrEP (a preventive medication) if at high risk.
❤️ Pregnant women with HIV should take ART to protect their baby.

TREATMENT
✅ HIV is treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART).
ART keeps the virus low in the body.
✅ People with HIV on effective treatment can live normal, healthy lives and cannot s*xually transmit HIV (known as U = U → Undetectable = Untransmittable).

Tubig is life para sa inyong bato. Alamin ang 4 Tubig Tips para maging malusog ang ating bato:

1. 8 glasses a day?
Hindi naman kailangan 8 basong tubig ang inumin kada araw. May kanya-kanya tayong daily requirements. Ang pag-inom ng tubig ay unang-una sa pag replenish ng tubig sa katawan dahil sa pang-araw-araw na gawain. Magtanong sa inyong doctor para sa nararapat para sa iyo.

2. Pwede bang sumobra sa 8?
Hindi naman kadalasan mangyari pero ang pag inom ng sobrang tubig ay pwedeng maging hyponatremia, lalo na sa mga endurance athletes.

3. Dilaw ang peg.
Obserbahan ang inyong ihi kung gaano ka dilaw. Ito ay senyales ng inyong hydration levels -- light yellow, colorless ang peg or dark yellow ay senyales ng dehydration.

4. Kung well hydrated ka, maiiwasan ang kidney stones at UTI dahil hindi magbubuo ng crystals at ito rin ay nakakatulong sa antibiotics.

𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛

Ngayong National Su***de Prevention Month, ating inaalala ang mga buhay na nawala dahil sa kawalan ng pag-asa at paniniwala na sila’y nag-iisa. Hindi po natin dapat hayaan na ni isa man lang na kababayan natin ay dumaan sa ganiyang sitwasyon.

Magsama-sama po tayong magpalaganap ng kamalayan tungkol sa kalusugang pangkaisipan. Ang pakikipag-usap, pakikinig, pag-unawa at pagbibigay-suporta ay maaaring makapagsalba ng buhay.

Dito sa Bataan, pangunahing adbokasiya po natin na tiyakin na ang bawat Bataeño ay pinakikinggan, pinahahalagahan, at pinangangalagaan. Kung ikaw o may kakilala na nakararanas nang matinding pangamba, takot, o kawalan ng pag-asa, huwag mag-atubiling humingi ng tulong. Narito po ang mga mental health hotlines at programang handang umalalay.
