Clinics

Healthcare outreach aims to help, uplift, and support those who are deprived of certain services and rights. It involves giving learning, social planning, health support, and other projects for their welfare. Through outreach we are able to improve and extend the reach of health care through activities such as health education, case management, basic health screening, and facilitating access to services.

Quality Healthcare Pillars

We believe that healthcare is 5 fold. The patient, the healthcare worker, the family, the community , the government.

Each of these 5 have a key role to play in ensuring quality healthcare for the patient. Outreach allows the lawyer to learn how take a blood pressure reading and allows the accountant the opportunity to learn how to prick a patient for a glucose reading.

We are our brother’s keeper and we ought to take up the responsibility of community health.

Primary Care for All

The World Health Organization attributes the provision of essential primary care as an integral component of an inclusive primary health care strategy and suggests that a primary care approach should include the following three components:

  • meeting people’s health needs throughout their lives;
  • addressing the broader determinants of health through multi-sectoral policy and action; and
  • empowering individuals, families and communities to take charge of their own health.

      Havana Outreach

      On the 10 June 2023, the One Step At A Time organization empowered by the NAMDIA Foundation embarked on its second Khomas Region IUCD clinic in the Havana settlement. We were fortunate to be able to capture some of the testimonies of the women that benefited from the insertion of the copper IUCD. One of our beneficiaries was a young 23 year old woman with 5 children who had her first child at the age of 16.

      From the NAMDIA Foundation to specialists Dr. David Emvula and Dr Albertina Amupala, Omnicare Trust, Dr. Maano Kambunga and all the volunteers, this would not have been possible without these people and  organizations who believe in one common vision; QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL IRRESPECTIVE OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. They are the everyday people turned into heroes!

      Bunya Village Clinic

      On 18 June 2024, Osaat Africa Health Foundation conducted the Bunya Village Copper IUCD Clinic in Kavango West, providing essential reproductive health services to women in need. This initiative tackled high fertility rates, teenage pregnancies, and limited contraceptive access, directly assisting 188 households and impacting over 1,100 people in nine communities.

      This life-changing work was made possible by our donors, volunteers, and healthcare professionals like Dr. Esperance Luvindao. Together, we strive for QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL. Download the report to see the impact and join us in supporting this vital mission.

      Tips

      Contraceptives

      Contraception is a crucial aspect of reproductive health and with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right method for you. This section aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the different types of contraceptives, including hormonal methods, barrier methods, permanent/surgical methods, and natural methods. We’ll also delve into the details of each option, including how they work, their benefits and side effects, and how effective they are in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Whether you’re a young woman exploring your options for the first time or someone looking to switch methods, this section has everything you need to know to make an informed decision about your reproductive health.

      Know your options!

      *  There are over 10 different kinds of contraceptives and yes, condoms are a type of contraception. They fall under the barrier method!

      *  Pre ejaculation may contain sperm! Therefore, Pulling out is not a reliable method of contraception!

      *  There are contraceptives that can last up to 5 Years!

      You can break up your contraceptives into big groups that you can easily remember!

      > Hormonal methods


      > Barrier methods

      > Permanent/ Surgical methods


      > Natural methods

       

      Hormonal methods

      Many of you have probably heard people say that hormonal contraceptives like the injection cause Infertility! This is not true!!! However, it is important to understand why people say this. The two key hormones in contraceptives are estrogen and progesterone. The combination of hormones prevents you from getting pregnant by firstly thickening your cervical mucous so that sperm can’t get through to the egg and secondly,  suppressing ovulation. Therefore, years of taking medications that contain these hormones may delay pregnancy later due to the longer lasting effects of these drugs on your ovulation etc. Therefore, if you are 16 years old and looking for a contraceptive method, we advise you consider non hormonal methods like the Copper IUCD that prevents pregnancy but contains no hormones.

      The pill is one of the most common hormonal contraceptives. It may contain both of the above hormones or only progesterone alone. It is taken every day! It is important to set a reminder so as not to forget to take it! Forgetting may result in falling pregnant! You need to take the pill at around the same time every day. You could get pregnant if you do not do this, or if you miss a pill, or vomit or have severe diarrhoea. Possible side effects of the pill include mood swings, nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, weight gain, and a low risk of blood clots. This method of contraception does not protect you from contracting STDs!

      The Mirena a small t shaped instrument that is inserted into your uterus through your cervix. It contains a hormone called progesterone and can last up to five years! This option doesn’t require that you take a pill everyday or an injection ever two or three months! Side effects include Headache, Acne, Breast tenderness, Irregular bleeding, which can improve after six months of use, Mood changes and Cramping or pelvic pain. This method of contraception does not protect you from contracting STDs!

      The implant is a rod shapped instrument about 3 cm long that is placed into your upper arm. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do and doesn’t require you to be put to sleep. A small cut is made in your upper arm and then the implant is inserted. This prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years and also does not require you take a pill or injections repeatedly. Side effects you may experience are temporary side effects during the first few months, like headaches, nausea, breast tenderness and mood swings, your periods may be irregular or stop altogether, you may get acne or your acne might get worse. This method of contraception does not protect you from contracting STDs!

      Barrier methods


      Condoms are the most famous barrier method utilized today. There are female and male condoms! Condoms are commonly seen to be the preferred contraceptive method as they prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases! Condoms are 99 percent effective but couples must ensure that the condoms are not expired, that the condoms have no holes and that the condoms are fitted properly!

       Permanent Methods

      Women can have a tubal ligation which involves tying her fallopian tubes. The woman does not get pregnant because the eggs have to travel through the fallopian tube to get to the uterus. This method is permanent and irreversible. Therefore, should only be considered in women that are sure that they no longer want to give birth.

      The male sterilization technique involves the cutting and tying of the vasa deferentia in the male genitals so as to prevent sperm from entering into the urethra and thereby prevent fertilization of a female through sexual intercourse.  Just as the tying of the female fallopian tubes, this is a permanent method.

      Natural Methods

      Natural methods of contraception were left last for a reason. Abstinence is a natural method of contraception and the ONLY absolute way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Another natural method is the rhythm method. This method relies on you carefully tracking your menstrual cycle and avoiding sex during the times you are ovulating and most likely to fall pregnant. It is important to remember that your cycle starts from day one of your menses and NOT AFTER your periods! In an average 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period and after the start of the menstrual period. However, each person’s cycle length may be different, and the time between ovulation and the start of the next menstrual period may vary. When you are ovulating, you have a higher chance of falling pregnant but this does not mean that you cannot fall pregnant before or after your predicted ovulation schedule. That is why this method is not the most reliable.

      * Daar is meer as 10 verskillende soorte voorbehoedmiddels en ja, kondome is ‘n tipe voorbehoedmiddel.

      * Voor ejakulasie kan sperm bevat! Daarom is Uittrek nie ‘n betroubare metode van voorbehoeding nie!

      * Daar is voorbehoedmiddels wat tot 5 Jaar kan hou!

      Hormonale metodes

      Baie van julle het waarskynlik mense gehoor sê dat hormonale voorbehoedmiddels soos die inspuiting Onvrugbaarheid veroorsaak! Dit is nie waar nie!!! Dit is egter belangrik om te verstaan ​​hoekom mense dit sê. Die twee sleutelhormone in voorbehoedmiddels is estrogeen en progesteroon. Die kombinasie van hormone verhoed dat jy swanger raak deur eerstens jou servikale slym te verdik sodat sperm nie na die eiersel kan deurdring nie en tweedens ovulasie te onderdruk. Daarom kan jare se gebruik van medikasie wat hierdie hormone bevat swangerskap later vertraag as gevolg van die langer blywende uitwerking van hierdie middels op jou ovulasie, ens. Daarom, as jy 16 jaar oud is en op soek is na ‘n voorbehoedmetode, raai ons aan dat jy nie-hormonale metodes oorweeg.

      Die pil is een van die mees algemene hormonale voorbehoedmiddels. Dit kan albei bogenoemde hormone of slegs progesteroon alleen bevat. Dit word elke dag geneem! Dit is belangrik om ‘n herinnering te stel om nie te vergeet om dit te neem nie!

      Vergeet kan lei tot swangerskap! Jy moet die pil elke dag op ongeveer dieselfde tyd neem. Jy kan swanger raak as jy dit nie doen nie, of as jy ‘n pil mis, of braak of erge diarree het.

      Moontlike newe-effekte van die pil sluit in gemoedskommelings, naarheid, borsheid, hoofpyn, gewigstoename en ‘n lae risiko van bloedklonte. Hierdie metode van voorbehoeding beskerm jou nie teen STD’e nie!

      Die Mirena ‘n klein t-vormige instrument wat deur jou serviks in jou baarmoeder geplaas word. Dit bevat ‘n hormoon genaamd progesteroon en kan tot vyf jaar hou! Hierdie opsie vereis nie dat jy elke dag ‘n pil of ‘n inspuiting ooit twee of drie maande neem nie! Newe-effekte sluit in Hoofpyn, Aknee, Borsteerheid, Onreëlmatige bloeding, wat kan verbeter na ses maande van gebruik, Buiveranderinge en Krampe of bekkenpyn. Hierdie metode van voorbehoeding beskerm jou nie teen SOS’e nie!

      Die inplanting is ‘n staafvormige instrument van ongeveer 3 cm lank wat in jou bo-arm geplaas word. Dit neem ongeveer 5 tot 10 minute om te doen en vereis nie dat jy aan die slaap geraak word nie. ’n Klein snytjie word in jou bo-arm gemaak en dan word die inplantaat ingesit.

      Dit voorkom swangerskap vir tot 3 jaar en vereis ook nie dat jy herhaaldelik ‘n pil of inspuitings neem nie. Newe-effekte wat jy mag ervaar, is tydelike newe-effekte gedurende die eerste paar maande, soos hoofpyn, naarheid, borsheid en buierigheid, jou maandstonde kan onreëlmatig wees of heeltemal stop, jy kan aknee kry of jou aknee kan erger word.

      Hierdie metode van voorbehoeding beskerm jou nie teen SOS’e nie!

      Versperringsmetodes

      Kondome is die bekendste versperringsmetode wat vandag gebruik word. Daar is vroulike en manlike kondome! Kondome word algemeen gesien as die voorkeurvoorbehoedmetode aangesien dit swangerskap en seksueel oordraagbare siektes voorkom! Kondome is 99 persent doeltreffend, maar paartjies moet verseker dat die kondome nie verval het nie, dat die kondome geen gate het nie en dat die kondome behoorlik aangebring is!

      Permanente metodes

      Vroue kan ‘n buisligasie hê wat behels dat haar fallopiese buise vasgemaak word. Die vrou word nie swanger nie, want die eiers moet deur die fallopiese buis beweeg om by die baarmoeder uit te kom. Hierdie metode is permanent en onomkeerbaar. Daarom, moet slegs oorweeg word by vroue wat seker is dat hulle nie meer wil kraam nie.

      Die manlike sterilisasietegniek behels die sny en vasbind van die vasa deferentia in die manlike geslagsdele om te verhoed dat sperm in die uretra ingaan en sodoende bevrugting van ‘n wyfie deur seksuele omgang te voorkom. Net soos die vasmaak van die vroulike fallopiese buise, is dit ‘n permanente metode.

      Natuurlike metodes

      Natuurlike metodes van voorbehoeding is vir ‘n rede laaste gelaat. Onthouding is ‘n natuurlike voorbehoedmetode en die ENIGSTE absolute manier om swangerskap en seksueel oordraagbare siektes te voorkom.  Nog ‘n natuurlike metode is die ritme-metode. Hierdie metode maak staat daarop dat jy jou menstruele siklus noukeurig dophou en seks vermy gedurende die tye wat jy ovuleer en waarskynlik swanger sal raak. Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat jou siklus begin vanaf dag een van jou menstruasie en NIE NA jou maandstonde nie!

      In ‘n gemiddelde 28-dae menstruele siklus vind ovulasie gewoonlik ongeveer 14 dae voor die aanvang van die volgende menstruasieperiode en na die aanvang van die menstruasieperiode plaas.  Elke persoon se sikluslengte kan egter verskil, en die tyd tussen ovulasie en die begin van die volgende menstruasieperiode kan verskil. Wanneer jy ovuleer, het jy ‘n groter kans om swanger te raak, maar dit beteken nie dat jy nie voor of na jou voorspelde ovulasieskedule kan swanger raak nie. Daarom is hierdie metode nie die mees betroubare nie.

      • Il existe plus de 10 types différents de contraceptifs, et oui, les préservatifs sont un type de contraception. Ils relèvent de la méthode barrière !
      • Les pré-éjaculations peuvent contenir du sperme ! Par conséquent, le retrait n’est pas une méthode fiable de contraception !
      • Certains contraceptifs peuvent durer jusqu’à 5 ans !


      Vous pouvez diviser vos contraceptifs en grands groupes faciles à retenir ! Méthodes hormonales Méthodes de barrière Méthodes permanentes/chirurgicales

       Méthodes naturelles

      Méthodes hormonales

      Beaucoup d’entre vous ont probablement entendu des gens dire que les contraceptifs hormonaux, comme l’injection, provoquent l’infertilité ! Ce n’est pas vrai ! Cependant, il est important de comprendre pourquoi les gens disent cela. Les deux hormones clés dans les contraceptifs sont l’œstrogène et la progestérone. La combinaison de ces hormones vous empêche de tomber enceinte en épaississant d’abord votre mucus cervical pour que les spermatozoïdes ne puissent pas passer jusqu’à l’ovule, et ensuite, en supprimant l’ovulation. Par conséquent, des années de prise de médicaments contenant ces hormones peuvent retarder une grossesse ultérieure en raison des effets prolongés de ces médicaments sur votre ovulation, etc. Par conséquent, si vous avez 16 ans et cherchez une méthode contraceptive, nous vous conseillons de considérer des méthodes non hormonales, comme le DIU en cuivre, qui empêche la grossesse mais ne contient pas d’hormones.

      La pilule est l’un des contraceptifs hormonaux les plus courants. Elle peut contenir les deux hormones ci-dessus ou seulement de la progestérone seule. Elle se prend tous les jours ! Il est important de mettre un rappel pour ne pas oublier de la prendre ! Oublier de le faire peut entraîner une grossesse ! Vous devez prendre la pilule à peu près à la même heure tous les jours. Vous pourriez tomber enceinte si vous ne le faites pas, ou si vous ratez une pilule, ou si vous vomissez ou avez une diarrhée sévère. Les effets secondaires possibles de la pilule comprennent des changements d’humeur, des nausées, des douleurs mammaires, des maux de tête, une prise de poids et un faible risque de caillots sanguins. Cette méthode de contraception ne vous protège pas contre les MST !

      Le Mirena est un petit instrument en forme de T qui est inséré dans votre utérus par votre col de l’utérus. Il contient une hormone appelée progestérone et peut durer jusqu’à cinq ans ! Cette option ne nécessite pas de prendre une pilule tous les jours ni une injection toutes les deux ou trois mois ! Les effets secondaires comprennent des maux de tête, de l’acné, des douleurs mammaires, des saignements irréguliers, qui peuvent s’améliorer après six mois d’utilisation, des changements d’humeur et des crampes ou des douleurs pelviennes. Cette méthode de contraception ne vous protège pas contre les MST !

      L’implant est un instrument en forme de tige d’environ 3 cm de long qui est placé dans votre bras supérieur. Cela prend environ 5 à 10 minutes à faire et ne nécessite pas d’anesthésie. Une petite incision est pratiquée dans votre bras supérieur, puis l’implant est inséré. Cela empêche la grossesse pendant 3 ans et ne nécessite pas de prendre une pilule ou des injections de manière répétée. Les effets secondaires que vous pourriez ressentir sont des effets secondaires temporaires au cours des premiers mois, comme des maux de tête, des nausées, des douleurs mammaires et des changements d’humeur, vos règles peuvent être irrégulières ou s’arrêter complètement, vous pouvez avoir de l’acné ou votre acné pourrait s’aggraver. Cette méthode de contraception ne vous protège pas contre les MST !

      Méthodes de barrière

      Les préservatifs sont la méthode de barrière la plus connue utilisée aujourd’hui. Il existe des préservatifs féminins et masculins ! Les préservatifs sont communément considérés comme la méthode contraceptive préférée car ils préviennent la grossesse et les maladies sexuellement transmissibles ! Les préservatifs sont efficaces à 99 %, mais les couples doivent s’assurer que les préservatifs ne sont pas périmés, qu’ils n’ont pas de trous et qu’ils sont correctement ajustés !

      Méthodes permanentes

      Les femmes peuvent subir une ligature des trompes qui consiste à ligaturer leurs trompes de Fallope. La femme ne tombe pas enceinte car les ovules doivent passer par les trompes de Fallope pour arriver à l’utérus. Cette méthode est permanente et irréversible. Par conséquent, elle ne doit être envisagée que chez les femmes certaines de ne plus vouloir donner naissance.

      La technique de stérilisation masculine implique la section et la ligature des canaux déférents dans les organes génitaux masculins afin d’empêcher les spermatozoïdes d’entrer dans l’urètre et donc de prévenir la fécondation d’une femme par des rapports sexuels. Tout comme la ligature des trompes chez la femme, c’est une méthode permanente.

      Méthodes naturelles

      Les méthodes naturelles de contraception ont été mentionnées en dernier pour une raison. L’abstinence est une méthode naturelle de contraception et la SEULE façon absolue de prévenir la grossesse et les maladies sexuellement transmissibles. Une autre méthode naturelle est la méthode du rythme. Cette méthode repose sur le suivi attentif de votre cycle menstruel et sur l’évitement des rapports sexuels pendant les périodes d’ovulation où vous avez le plus de chances de tomber enceinte. Il est important de se rappeler que votre cycle commence le premier jour de vos règles et PAS APRÈS vos règles ! Dans un cycle menstruel moyen de 28 jours, l’ovulation se produit généralement environ 14 jours avant le début de la prochaine période menstruelle et après le début de la période menstruelle. Cependant, la durée du cycle de chaque personne peut être différente, et le temps entre l’ovulation

      Njia za homoni

      Wengi wenu labda mmekuwa mkiwasikia watu wakisema kuwa dawa za uzazi za homoni kama sindano husababisha utasa! Hii sio kweli!!! Hata hivyo, ni muhimu kuelewa kwa nini watu husema hivyo. Homoni mbili muhimu katika dawa za uzazi ni estrojeni na progesteroni. mchanganyiko wa homoni hizi unazuia mimba kwa kwanza kwa kufanya ute wa mlango wa kizazi wako kuwa mnene ili manii/mbegu isipite kufika kwa yai na pili, kwa kuzuia kuachiliwa kwa vijiyai vya uzazi kutoka kwa mfuko wa mayai, na kuzuia manii/mbegu kuingia chumba cha mimba. Kwa hivyo, miaka ya kumeza dawa zenye homoni hizi inaweza kuchelewesha mimba baadaye kutokana na athari za muda mrefu za dawa hizi kwenye ovulisheni (utaokajia wa vijiyai vya uzazi)  yako n.k. Kwa hiyo, ikiwa una miaka 16 na unatafuta njia ya uzazi wa mpango, tunapendekeza uzingatie njia zisizo za homoni kama vile Copper IUCD/ Kitanzi cha shaba ambayo inazuia mimba lakini haina homoni.

       

      Vidonge vya majira ni moja ya dawa za uzazi za homoni zinazotumika sana. Zinaweza kuwa na homoni zote zilizotajwa hapo juu au progesteroni pekee yake. Zinamezwa kila siku! Ni muhimu kuweka kumbusho ili usisahau kuzimeza! Kusahau kunaweza kusababisha mimba! Unahitaji kumeza kidonge kila siku karibu na muda huo huo kila siku. Unaweza kupata mimba ikiwa hufanyi hivyo, au ikiwa haujameza kidonge, au kutapika au kuharisha. Madhara yanayowezekana ya kidonge ni pamoja na mabadiliko ya hisia, kichefuchefu, maumivu ya kifua, maumivu ya kichwa, kuongezeka uzito, na hatari ndogo ya damu kuganda. Njia hii ya uzazi haiwalindi dhidi ya kupata magonjwa ya zinaa!

       

      Mirena (Kitanzi ) ni kifaa kidogo kilichoundwa kama herufi T kinachowekwa kwenye kizazi chako kupitia mlango wa kizazi. Kina homoni inayoitwa progesteroni na kinaweza kudumu hadi miaka mitano! Chaguo hili halihitaji kuchukua kidonge kila siku au sindano kila baada ya miezi miwili au mitatu! Madhara ni pamoja na maumivu ya kichwa, chunusi, maumivu ya kifua, kutokwa na damu kusiyokuwa ya kawaida, ambayo yanaweza kuboresha baada ya miezi sita ya matumizi, mabadiliko ya hisia, na maumivu ya tumbo au mifuko ya uzazi. Njia hii ya uzazi haiwalindi dhidi ya kupata magonjwa ya zinaa!

       

      Implanti (Vipandikizi/njiti) ni kifaa kilichoundwa kama fimbo yenye urefu wa takriban sentimita 3 inayowekwa kwenye mkono wako wa juu chini ya ngozi. Inachukua dakika 5 hadi 10 kufanya hivyo na hahitaji kulala. Upasuaji mdogo hufanywa kwenye mkono wako wa juu na kisha implant/ njiti inawekwa. Hii inazuia mimba kwa hadi miaka 3 na pia hahitaji kuchukua kidonge au sindano mara kwa mara. Madhara unayoweza kuhisi ni madhara ya muda mfupi katika miezi ya kwanza, kama vile maumivu ya kichwa, kichefuchefu, maumivu ya kifua na mabadiliko ya hisia, hedhi zako zinaweza kuwa zisizoelezeka au kuacha kabisa, unaweza kupata chunusi au chunusi zako zinaweza kuwa mbaya. Njia hii

       

      Njia za Kizuizi

      Kondomu ni njia maarufu zaidi ya kizuizi inayotumiwa leo. Kuna kondomu za kike na za kiume! Kondomu kwa kawaida huonekana kuwa njia bora zaidi ya uzazi wa mpango kwani huzuia mimba na magonjwa ya zinaa! Kondomu zinafaa kwa asilimia 99 lakini wanandoa lazima wahakikishe kwamba kondomu hazijaisha muda wake, kondomu hazina matundu na kwamba kondomu zimefungwa ipasavyo!

       

      Njia za kudumu

      Wanawake wanaweza kuzuia uzazi  kupita njia ya kukata na kufunga mirija ya uzazi. Mwanamke hatoweza kupata mimba kwa sababu mayai hulazimika kusafiri kupitia mirija ya uzazi ili kufika kwenye mji wa mimba. Njia hii ni ya kudumu na haiwezi kutenduliwa. Kwa hiyo, inapaswa kuzingatiwa tu kwa wanawake ambao wana uhakika kwamba hawataki tena kuzaa. Ni lazima mwanamke atoe idhini kwa hiari yake ili kutumia njia hii

       

      Mbinu ya kuzuia uzazi ya mwanamume inahusisha kukata na kufungwa kwa vasa deferentia katika sehemu ya siri ya mwanamume ili kuzuia mbegu za kiume zisiingie kwenye mrija wa mkojo na hivyo kuzuia kurutubishwa kwa mwanamke kupitia kujamiiana. Kama vile kufunga kwa mirija ya uzazi ya mwanamke, hii ni njia ya kudumu.

       

       Njia za asili

      Njia za asili za uzazi wa mpango ziliachwa mwisho kwa sababu nyingi sana. Kuacha kufanya ngono ni njia ya asili ya uzazi wa mpango na njia pekee ya uhakika ya kuzuia mimba na magonjwa ya zinaa. Njia nyingine ya asili ni njia ya rhythm. Njia hii inategemea kufuatilia kwa uangalifu mzunguko wako wa hedhi na kuepuka ngono wakati wa siku za hatari, (utaokajia wa vijiyai vya uzazi)  / ovulation na uwezekano mkubwa wa kupata mimba. Ni muhimu kukumbuka kuwa mzunguko wako wa hedhi huanza kutoka siku ya kwanza ya hedhi na SI BAADA ya hedhi! Katika wastani wa mzunguko wa hedhi wa siku 28, ovulation/ (utaokajia wa vijiyai vya uzazi)  hutokea takriban siku 14 kabla ya kuanza kwa hedhi inayofuata na baada ya kuanza kwa hedhi. Hata hivyo, urefu wa mzunguko wa kila mtu unaweza kuwa tofauti, na muda kati ya ovulation/ (utaokajia wa vijiyai vya uzazi)   na mwanzo wa hedhi inayofuata inaweza kutofautiana. Unapokuwa na ovulation/ siku za hatari, una nafasi kubwa zaidi ya kupata mimba lakini hii haimaanishi kwamba huwezi kupata mimba kabla au baada ya ratiba yako ya ovulation iliyotabiriwa. Ndiyo maana njia hii sio ya kuaminika zaidi.

      Breast Cancer

      Breast health is a critical aspect of overall health and well-being, yet it is often overlooked or disregarded. To ensure that your breasts are in the best possible condition, it is important to take an active approach and be proactive in your own care. In this section, we will explore the importance of regular physical exams, self-examinations, and family history in maintaining good breast health. With these simple tips, you can help ensure that you catch any issues early, and take control of your own breast health.

      Touch your breasts more than you brush your teeth! Tell your doctor to touch you! And ask your family watsup?!


      These my rules of breast health and I have seen them save thousands of patients.

      Tell your Doctor to touch you!

      I have so many patients that have come for consultations and after the consultation they would ask me if I can be their doctor. One day I got the courage to ask a patient why she wanted to move from her current doctor and her answer was shocking. “MY DOCTOR DOESN’T TOUCH ME” I got the reality shock of my life! It doesn’t matter how well informed or skilled I am, I always examine my patients. There are some things you can miss on history taking that you won’t miss on physical exam! And as a patient, it is your right to ask your doctor to touch you! Particularly in a world where everything has become fast paced, your biannual physical exam with your doctor SHOULD NOT be one of those things.

      Touch your breasts more than you brush your teeth!

      You know you’re normal better than anyone. When parents bring in their children and tell me something is off, I believe them whether there are overt physical signs or not. Why? Because parents know their children better than anyone! And the same rule applies for you and your body. You know it best IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW IT! If you get to know what the normal is for your body, when there is something ABNORMAL, you will definitely pick it up NO MATTER how small the abnormality is. So touch your breasts more than you brush your teeth! This doesn’t have to be a full on breast exam a thousand times a day, but I tell my patients to get used to looking at and touching their breasts routinely. Early detection really is key!

      Ask your Family Watsup!!?

      Do you know if any of your parents or sisters had cancer? Do you know what they died of? Whether your family is tight knit or not, this is very important information that could save your family and friends a lot of heartache.. 1st degree relative diagnosis are key in predicting your chance of having a similar disease and should not be taken lightly.

      Lastly , If you’re not breastfeeding, but your nipple has a discharge, your beast looks like an orange peel, your breast feels hotter than usual, your breasts don’t look the same, you feel a little ball in your breast or your nipple looks like it’s taking a back seat (retracted) SEE YOUR DOCTOR. And remember, there is no “Normal Breast” ! Just like there is no “NORMAL VAGINA”. But there are major discrepancies that should not be ignored!

      Gusa matiti yako zaidi kuliko unavyopiga meno! Mwambie daktari wako akuguse! Na

      Waulize familia yako watsup? Hizi ni sheria zangu za afya ya matiti na nimeona zikisaidia maelfu ya wagonjwa..

      Mwambie daktari wako akuguse!

      Nina wagonjwa wengi wanaokuja kwa mashauriano na baada ya mashauriano wananiuliza ikiwa naweza kuwa daktari wao. Siku moja nilipata ujasiri wa kuuliza mgonjwa kwa nini alitaka kuhamia kutoka kwa daktari wake wa sasa na jibu lake lilikuwa la kushangaza. “Daktari wangu HANIGUSI” Nilipata mshtuko wa ukweli wa maisha yangu! Haijalishi ni jinsi gani nina habari au stadi, mimi huwachunguza wagonjwa wangu kila wakati. Kuna mambo unaweza kuyakosa kwa kuchukua historia ambayo hukosi kwenye uchunguzi wa kimwili! Na kama mgonjwa, ni haki yako kuomba daktari wako akuguse! Hasa katika ulimwengu ambapo kila kitu kimekuwa haraka, uchunguzi wako wa kimwili wa kila baada ya miezi sita na daktari wako HAIPASWI kuwa mojawapo ya mambo hayo.

      Gusa matiti yako zaidi kuliko unavyopiga meno!

      Unajua kawaida yako vizuri kuliko yeyote. Wakati wazazi wanapoleta watoto wao na kunieleza kitu hakiko sawa, nawakubali bila kujali kama kuna dalili wazi za kimwili au la. Kwa nini? Kwa sababu wazazi wanawajua watoto wao vizuri kuliko yeyote! Na kanuni hiyo hiyo inatumika kwako na mwili wako. Unaujua vizuri KAMA UTACHUKUA MUDA WA KUJIFAHAMU! Ukijifunza kawaida ya mwili wako, unapogundua kitu KISICHONORMALI, bila kujali ni kitu kidogo kiasi gani, utakigundua bila shaka. Basi, gusa matiti yako zaidi kuliko unavyopiga meno! Hii haitakiwi kuwa uchunguzi kamili wa matiti mara elfu kwa siku, lakini nawaeleza wagonjwa wangu wazoeane na kuangalia na kugusa matiti yao kwa kawaida. Uchunguzi mapema ni muhimu sana!

      Waulize familia yako Watsup!!?

      Je, unajua ikiwa wazazi au dada zako walikuwa na saratani? Je, unajua walikufa kwa nini? Iwe familia yako ina uhusiano wa karibu au la, hii ni habari muhimu sana inayoweza kuokoa familia yako na marafiki wako mengi ya majonzi.. Uchunguzi wa jamaa wa kwanza ni muhimu katika kutabiri nafasi yako ya kupata ugonjwa sawa na haupaswi kuchukuliwa kwa mzaha.

       

      Hatimaye, Ikiwa hulishi mtoto, lakini chuchu yako inatoa majimaji, titi lako linaonekana kama ganda la machungwa, titi lako lina joto zaidi kuliko kawaida, maziwa yako hayaonekani sawa, unahisi uvimbe usio wa kawaida kwenye titi lako, au chuchu yako inaonekana kama inachukua nafasi ya nyuma (imevutwa ndani), NENDA KWA DAKTARI WAKO. Na kumbuka, hakuna “Titi la Kawaida” !, kama vile hakuna “VAGINA YA KAWAIDA”, matiti ya kila mtu yanaweza kuonekana tofauti, kwa hivyo usilinganishe matiti yako na ya rafiki yako! Hata hivyo, kuna tofauti/kutokawaida kubwa ambazo hutakiwi kuzipuuzia!

      Informada ou habilidosa eu seja, eu sempre examino meus pacientes. Há coisas que você pode

      Perder na anamnese que você não perderá no exame físico! E como paciente, é seu

      Direito pedir ao seu médico para examiná-la! Especialmente num mundo onde tudo se tornou

      Rápido, seu exame físico semestral com seu médico NÃO DEVE ser uma dessas

      Coisas.

      Toque seus seios mais do que você escova os dentes!

      Você conhece seu normal melhor do que ninguém. Quando os pais trazem seus filhos e dizem

      Que algo está errado, eu acredito neles, quer haja sinais físicos evidentes ou não. Por quê?

      Porque os pais conhecem melhor seus filhos do que qualquer pessoa! E a mesma regra se aplica a

      Você e ao seu corpo. Você o conhece melhor SE VOCÊ LEVAR O TEMPO PARA CONHECÊ-LO! Se você

      Conhecer o que é normal para o seu corpo, quando houver algo ANORMAL, você

      Definitivamente perceberá NÃO IMPORTA quão pequena seja a anormalidade. Então, toque seus seios

      Mais do que você escova os dentes! Isso não precisa ser um exame completo dos seios mil vezes

      Por dia, mas eu digo aos meus pacientes para se acostumarem a olhar e tocar os seios

      Rotineiramente. A detecção precoce realmente é fundamental!

      Pergunte à sua família o que está acontecendo!!?

      Você sabe se algum de seus pais ou irmãs teve câncer? Você sabe do que eles morreram?

      Se sua família é unida ou não, estas são informações muito importantes que poderiam

      Salvar sua família e amigos de muita dor.. Diagnósticos de parentes de primeiro grau são essenciais

      Para prever sua chance de ter uma doença semelhante e não devem ser levados de ânimo leve.

       

      Por fim, se você não está amamentando, mas seu mamilo está com secreção, seu seio parece uma casca de laranja,

      Seu seio parece mais quente do que o normal, seus seios não parecem iguais, você sente uma bola incomum em seu

      Seio ou seu mamilo parece estar recuando (retraído), CONSULTE SEU MÉDICO. E lembre-se, não há “Seio Normal” !, assim como não há “VAGINA NORMAL”, os seios de cada pessoa podem parecer diferentes,

      Então não compare seus seios com os de sua amiga! No entanto, há discrepâncias/abnormalidades

      Que você não deve ignorar!

      HIV

      Understanding HIV and AIDS

      Introduction

      HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) are two closely related yet distinct conditions that have had a significant impact on global health since their discovery. In this discussion, we will delve into the origins, transmission, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of HIV/AIDS.

      1. What is HIV?

      HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells (T cells), which play a crucial role in fighting off infections. It weakens the immune system over time, making the individual more susceptible to various infections and diseases.

      Transmission

      HIV can be transmitted through certain bodily fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Common modes of transmission include unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing needles or syringes, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.

      Symptoms

      In the early stages of HIV infection, individuals may experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and rash. As the virus progresses, it can lead to more severe symptoms and opportunistic infections, signaling the onset of AIDS. Imagine HIV as a tiny, sneaky virus that likes to play tricks on our bodies. It’s like a little troublemaker that attacks our immune system, which is our body’s superhero squad fighting off germs. This virus weakens our immune system over time, making it easier for other germs to cause trouble in our bodies.

      What is AIDS?

      AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, characterized by a severely weakened immune system. Diagnosis of AIDS is typically made when the individual’s CD4 cell count falls below a certain threshold, or when they develop certain opportunistic infections or cancers. Think of it this way; thieves usually break into homes when there is no one there or when there are people in the house that cannot defend themselves! HIV may be present, but you only develop AIDS when your immune system has been weekend, then the thieves (opportunist infections) like TB etc. easily come into your home (your body) because the people home aren’t strong enough to fight them off. AIDS is when our immune system is super weak, and we’re more likely to get sick from all sorts of germs that our body would usually fight off easily.

      Prevention

      Prevention is key in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS. Strategies include practicing safe sex by using condoms, avoiding sharing needles or syringes, and receiving pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for high-risk individuals. PrEP involves taking a daily ARV medication to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
      Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is another prevention option, which involves taking antiretroviral medications within 72 hours of potential exposure to HIV to prevent infection.

      Treatment

      Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the cornerstone of HIV treatment. ART involves taking a combination of medications that suppress the replication of the virus, allowing the immune system to recover and preventing the progression to AIDS. With effective treatment, people living with HIV can lead long and healthy lives, and the risk of transmitting the virus to others can be greatly reduced.

      Conclusion

      HIV and AIDS continue to be significant global health challenges, but with continued efforts in prevention, early detection, and treatment, progress is being made towards ending the epidemic. Education, awareness, and access to healthcare services are essential in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and it is crucial for individuals to know their status and take proactive measures to protect themselves and others.

      NB: You can access PREP or PEP at your nearest clinic! You have the right to access these medications and you should not let the fear of judgment stop you from protecting yourself!

      NB: The only contraceptive that protects you against HIV is condoms.

      Kuelewa VVU na UKIMWI

      Utangulizi

      VVU (Virusi vya Upungufu wa Kinga Mwilini) na UKIMWI (Ugonjwa wa Upungufu wa Kinga Mwilini Uliopatikana) ni hali mbili zinazohusiana kwa karibu ila tofauti ambazo zimekuwa na athari kubwa kwa afya ya dunia tangu kugunduliwa kwao. Katika majadiliano haya, tutachunguza chimbuko, maambukizi, dalili, kinga, na matibabu ya VVU/UKIMWI.

      VVU ni nini?

      VVU ni virusi vinavyoshambulia mfumo wa kinga ya mwili, hasa vikilenga seli za CD4 (T cells), ambazo zina jukumu muhimu katika kupambana na maambukizi. Inadhoofisha mfumo wa kinga kwa muda, kufanya mtu kuwa dhaifu zaidi mbele ya maambukizi mbalimbali na magonjwa.

      Maambukizi

      VVU inaweza kuambukizwa kupitia majimaji ya mwili fulani, ikiwa ni pamoja na damu, manii, majimaji ya uke, na maziwa ya mama. Njia za kawaida za maambukizi ni pamoja na ngono zembe, kushirikiana sindano au mabomba ya sindano, na kutoka kwa mama kwenda kwa mtoto wakati wa kujifungua au kunyonyesha.

      Dalili

      Katika hatua za awali za maambukizi ya VVU, mtu anaweza kupata dalili kama za mafua ikiwa ni pamoja na homa, uchovu, koo lililo na maumivu, tezi za limfu zilizovimba, na vipele. Kadri virusi vinavyoendelea, vinaweza kusababisha dalili kali zaidi na maambukizi ya fursa, kuashiria kuanza kwa UKIMWI. Fikiria VVU kama virusi vidogo, vinavyopenda kufanya hila kwenye miili yetu. Ni kama msumbufu mdogo anayeshambulia mfumo wetu wa kinga, ambao ni kikosi cha mashujaa wa mwili kinachopigana na viini. Virusi hivi vinadhoofisha mfumo wetu wa kinga kwa muda, kufanya iwe rahisi kwa viini vingine kusababisha matatizo mwilini mwetu.

      UKIMWI ni nini?

      UKIMWI ni hatua ya mwisho ya maambukizi ya VVU, ikionyeshwa na mfumo wa kinga uliodhoofika sana. Uchunguzi wa UKIMWI kawaida hufanyika wakati hesabu ya seli za CD4 za mtu inaposhuka chini ya kizingiti fulani, au wanapoendeleza maambukizi fulani ya fursa au saratani. Fikiria hivi; wezi kawaida huvunja nyumba wakati hakuna mtu au wakati kuna watu nyumbani ambao hawawezi kujitetea! VVU inaweza kuwepo, lakini unapata UKIMWI tu wakati mfumo wako wa kinga umedhoofika, kisha wezi (maambukizi ya fursa) kama Kifua Kikuu nk, huja kwa urahisi kwenye nyumba yako (mwili wako) kwa sababu watu wa nyumbani hawana nguvu ya kupambana nao. UKIMWI ni wakati mfumo wetu wa kinga ni dhaifu sana, na tunakuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuugua kutokana na aina zote za viini ambavyo kawaida mwili wetu ungepigana navyo kwa urahisi.

      Kinga

      Kinga ni muhimu katika kupambana na kuenea kwa VVU/UKIMWI. Mikakati inajumuisha kufanya ngono salama kwa kutumia kondomu, kuepuka kushirikiana sindano au mabomba ya sindano, na kupokea dawa za kuzuia maambukizi kabla hayajatokea (PrEP) kwa watu walio katika hatari kubwa. PrEP inahusisha kuchukua dawa za ARV kila siku ili kupunguza hatari ya maambukizi ya VVU. Dawa za kuzuia maambukizi baada ya kuf exposed (PEP) ni chaguo lingine la kinga, ambalo linahusisha kuchukua dawa za kurefusha maisha ndani ya saa 72 baada ya uwezekano wa kuf exposed kwa VVU ili kuzuia maambukizi.

      Matibabu

      Tiba ya antiretroviral (ART) ni msingi wa matibabu ya VVU. ART inahusisha kuchukua mchanganyiko wa dawa zinazozuia uzazi wa virusi, kuruhusu mfumo wa kinga kupona na kuzuia maendeleo kwa UKIMWI. Kwa matibabu yenye ufanisi, watu wanaoishi na VVU wanaweza kuishi maisha marefu na yenye afya, na hatari ya kuambukiza virusi kwa wengine inaweza kupunguzwa sana.

      Hitimisho

      VVU na UKIMWI bado ni changamoto kubwa za afya ya dunia, lakini kwa juhudi zinazoendelea katika kinga, ugunduzi wa mapema, na matibabu, maendeleo yanafanyika kuelekea kumaliza janga hilo. Elimu, uelewa, na upatikanaji wa huduma za afya ni muhimu katika mapambano dhidi ya VVU/UKIMWI, na ni muhimu kwa watu kujua hali yao na kuchukua hatua za kujilinda wenyewe na wengine.

      NB: Unaweza kupata PrEP au PEP katika kliniki yako ya karibu! Una haki ya kupata dawa hizi na haupaswi kuruhusu hofu ya hukumu ikKuelewa VVU na UKIMWI

UKIMWI ni wakati mfumo wetu wa kinga ni dhaifu sana, na tunakuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuugua kutokana na aina zote za viini ambavyo kawaida mwili wetu ungepigana navyo kwa urahisi.

      Kinga

      Kinga ni muhimu katika kupambana na kuenea kwa VVU/UKIMWI. Mikakati inajumuisha kufanya ngono salama kwa kutumia kondomu, kuepuka kushirikiana sindano au mabomba ya sindano, na kupokea dawa za kuzuia maambukizi kabla hayajatokea (PrEP) kwa watu walio katika hatari kubwa. PrEP inahusisha kuchukua dawa za ARV kila siku ili kupunguza hatari ya maambukizi ya VVU. Dawa za kuzuia maambukizi baada ya kuf exposed (PEP) ni chaguo lingine la kinga, ambalo linahusisha kuchukua dawa za kurefusha maisha ndani ya saa 72 baada ya uwezekano wa kuf exposed kwa VVU ili kuzuia maambukizi.

      Matibabu

      Tiba ya antiretroviral (ART) ni msingi wa matibabu ya VVU. ART inahusisha kuchukua mchanganyiko wa dawa zinazozuia uzazi wa virusi, kuruhusu mfumo wa kinga kupona na kuzuia maendeleo kwa UKIMWI. Kwa matibabu yenye ufanisi, watu wanaoishi na VVU wanaweza kuishi maisha marefu na yenye afya, na hatari ya kuambukiza virusi kwa wengine inaweza kupunguzwa sana.

      Hitimisho

      VVU na UKIMWI bado ni changamoto kubwa za afya ya dunia, lakini kwa juhudi zinazoendelea katika kinga, ugunduzi wa mapema, na matibabu, maendeleo yanafanyika kuelekea kumaliza janga hilo. Elimu, uelewa, na upatikanaji wa huduma za afya ni muhimu katika mapambano dhidi ya VVU/UKIMWI, na ni muhimu kwa watu kujua hali yao na kuchukua hatua za kujilinda wenyewe na wengine.

      NB: Unaweza kupata PrEP au PEP katika kliniki yako ya karibu! Una haki ya kupata dawa hizi na haupaswi kuruhusu hofu ya hukumu ikv.

      Entendendo o HIV e a AIDS

      Introdução

      O HIV (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana) e a AIDS (Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida) são duas condições estreitamente relacionadas, porém distintas, que tiveram um impacto significativo na saúde global desde a sua descoberta. Nesta discussão, vamos nos aprofundar nas origens, transmissão, sintomas, prevenção e tratamento do HIV/AIDS.

      O que é HIV?

      O HIV é um vírus que ataca o sistema imunológico do corpo, visando especificamente as células CD4 (células T), que desempenham um papel crucial na luta contra infecções. Ele enfraquece o sistema imunológico ao longo do tempo, tornando o indivíduo mais suscetível a várias infecções e doenças.

      Transmissão

      O HIV pode ser transmitido através de certos fluidos corporais, incluindo sangue, sêmen, fluidos vaginais e leite materno. Modos comuns de transmissão incluem relações sexuais desprotegidas, compartilhamento de agulhas ou seringas, e de mãe para filho durante o parto ou amamentação.

      Sintomas

      Nos estágios iniciais da infecção por HIV, os indivíduos podem experimentar sintomas semelhantes aos da gripe, como febre, fadiga, dor de garganta, inchaço dos linfonodos e erupção cutânea. Conforme o vírus progride, pode levar a sintomas mais graves e infecções oportunistas, sinalizando o início da AIDS. Imagine o HIV como um vírus pequeno e sorrateiro que gosta de pregar peças em nossos corpos. É como um pequeno encrenqueiro que ataca nosso sistema imunológico, que é o esquadrão de super-heróis do nosso corpo lutando contra germes. Esse vírus enfraquece nosso sistema imunológico ao longo do tempo, facilitando para outros germes causarem problemas em nossos corpos.

      O que é AIDS?

      A AIDS é o estágio final da infecção por HIV, caracterizado por um sistema imunológico extremamente enfraquecido. O diagnóstico de AIDS é geralmente feito quando a contagem de células CD4 do indivíduo cai abaixo de um certo limiar, ou quando desenvolvem certas infecções oportunistas ou cânceres. Pense dessa forma; ladrões geralmente invadem casas quando não há ninguém lá ou quando há pessoas na casa que não podem se defender! O HIV pode estar presente, mas você só desenvolve AIDS quando seu sistema imunológico foi enfraquecido, então os ladrões (infecções oportunistas) como a TB, etc., entram facilmente em sua casa (seu corpo) porque as pessoas em casa não são fortes o suficiente para combatê-los. AIDS é quando nosso sistema imunológico está super fraco, e estamos mais propensos a ficar doentes de todos os tipos de germes que nosso corpo normalmente combateria facilmente.

      Prevenção

      A prevenção é a chave para combater a propagação do HIV/AIDS. As estratégias incluem a prática de sexo seguro, usando preservativos, evitando compartilhar agulhas ou seringas, e recebendo profilaxia pré-exposição (PrEP) para indivíduos de alto risco. PrEP envolve tomar uma medicação ARV diariamente para reduzir o risco de transmissão do HIV. A profilaxia pós-exposição (PEP) é outra opção de prevenção, que envolve tomar medicamentos antirretrovirais dentro de 72 horas após uma possível exposição ao HIV para prevenir a infecção.

      Tratamento

      A terapia antirretroviral (TAR) é a pedra angular do tratamento do HIV. A TAR envolve tomar uma combinação de medicamentos que suprimem a replicação do vírus, permitindo que o sistema imunológico se recupere e prevenindo a progressão para AIDS. Com tratamento eficaz, pessoas vivendo com HIV podem levar vidas longas e saudáveis, e o risco de transmitir o vírus para outros pode ser grandemente reduzido.

      Conclusão

      O HIV e a AIDS continuam a ser desafios significativos para a saúde global, mas com esforços contínuos em prevenção, detecção precoce e tratamento, progressos estão sendo feitos em direção ao fim da epidemia. Educação, conscientização e acesso aos serviços de saúde são essenciais na luta contra o HIV/AIDS, e é crucial que os indivíduos conheçam seu status e tomem medidas proativas para protegerem a si mesmos e aos outros.

      NB: Você pode acessar PrEP ou PEP na sua clínica mais próxima! Você tem o direito de acessar esses medicamentos e não deve deixar o medo do julgamento impedi-lo de se proteger!

      NB: O único contraceptivo que protege contra o HIV são os preservativos.

      Begrip van MIV en VIGS

      Inleiding

      MIV (Menslike Immuniteitsgebreksvirus) en VIGS (Verworwe Immuniteitsgebreksindroom) is twee nou verwante, dog onderskeie toestande wat ‘n beduidende impak op wêreldgesondheid gehad het sedert hul ontdekking. In hierdie bespreking sal ons die oorsprong, oordrag, simptome, voorkoming, en behandeling van MIV/VIGS ondersoek.

      Wat is MIV?

      MIV is ‘n virus wat die liggaam se immuunstelsel aanval, spesifiek teikening van CD4-selle (T-selle), wat ‘n kritieke rol speel in die afweer van infeksies. Dit verswak die immuunstelsel oor tyd, wat die individu meer vatbaar maak vir verskeie infeksies en siektes.

      Oordrag

      MIV kan oorgedra word deur sekere liggaamsvloeistowwe, insluitend bloed, semen, vaginale vloeistowwe, en borsmelk. Algemene oordragmetodes sluit in onbeskermde seksuele omgang, die deel van naalde of spuite, en van moeder na kind tydens geboorte of borsvoeding.

      Simptome

      In die vroeë stadiums van MIV-infeksie kan individue griepagtige simptome ervaar soos koors, moegheid, seer keel, geswelde limfkliere, en uitslag. Soos die virus vorder, kan dit lei tot meer ernstige simptome en opportunistiese infeksies, wat die begin van VIGS aandui. Dink aan MIV as ‘n klein, slinkse virus wat daarvan hou om streke op ons liggame te speel. Dit is soos ‘n klein moeilikheidmaker wat ons immuunstelsel aanval, wat ons liggaam se superheldspan is wat kieme afweer. Hierdie virus verswak ons immuunstelsel oor tyd, wat dit makliker maak vir ander kieme om moeilikheid in ons liggame te veroorsaak.

      Wat is VIGS?

      VIGS is die finale stadium van MIV-infeksie, gekenmerk deur ‘n ernstig verswakte immuunstelsel. Diagnose van VIGS word tipies gemaak wanneer die individu se CD4-seltelling onder ‘n sekere drumpel val, of wanneer hulle sekere opportunistiese infeksies of kankers ontwikkel. Dink daaraan op hierdie manier; diewe breek gewoonlik in huise in wanneer daar niemand daar is of wanneer daar mense in die huis is wat hulself nie kan verdedig nie! MIV mag teenwoordig wees, maar jy ontwikkel slegs VIGS wanneer jou immuunstelsel verswak is, dan kom die diewe (opportunistiese infeksies) soos TB ens. maklik in jou huis (jou liggaam) in omdat die mense tuis nie sterk genoeg is om hulle af te weer nie. VIGS is wanneer ons immuunstelsel super swak is, en ons meer geneig is om siek te word van allerhande kieme wat ons liggaam gewoonlik maklik sou afweer.

      Voorkoming

      Voorkoming is sleutel in die stryd teen die verspreiding van MIV/VIGS. Strategieë sluit in die beoefening van veilige seks deur die gebruik van kondome, die vermyding van die deel van naalde of spuite, en die ontvangs van voorblootstelling-profylakse (PrEP) vir hoërisiko-individue. PrEP behels die neem van ‘n daaglikse ARV-medikasie om die risiko van MIV-oordrag te verminder. Postblootstelling-profylakse (PEP) is nog ‘n voorkomingsopsie, wat die neem van antiretrovirale medikasies binne 72 uur van potensiële blootstelling aan MIV behels om infeksie te voorkom.

      Behandeling

      Antiretrovirale terapie (ART) is die hoeksteen van MIV-behandeling. ART behels die neem van ‘n kombinasie van medikasies wat die replikasie van die virus onderdruk, wat die immuunstelsel toelaat om te herstel en die vordering na VIGS te voorkom. Met effektiewe behandeling kan mense wat met MIV leef, lang en gesonde lewens lei, en die risiko om die virus aan ander oor te dra, kan aansienlik verminder word.

      Gevolgtrekking

      MIV en VIGS bly beduidende wêreldwye gesondheidsuitdagings, maar met voortgesette pogings in voorkoming, vroeë opsporing, en behandeling, word vordering gemaak in die rigting van die beëindiging van die epidemie. Opvoeding, bewusmaking, en toegang tot gesondheidsdienste is noodsaaklik in die stryd teen MIV/VIGS, en dit is noodsaaklik vir individue om hul status te ken en proaktiewe maatreëls te neem om hulself en ander te beskerm.

      NB: Jy kan toegang tot PrEP of PEP by jou naaste kliniek kry! Jy het die reg om toegang tot hierdie medikasies te hê en jy moenie toelaat dat die vrees vir oordeel jou keer om jouself te beskerm nie!

      NB: Die enigste voorbehoedmiddel wat jou teen MIV beskerm, is kondome.

      Compréhension du VIH et du SIDA

      Introduction

      Le VIH (Virus de l’Immunodéficience Humaine) et le SIDA (Syndrome d’Immunodéficience Acquise) sont deux conditions étroitement liées mais distinctes qui ont eu un impact significatif sur la santé mondiale depuis leur découverte. Dans cette discussion, nous explorerons les origines, la transmission, les symptômes, la prévention et le traitement du VIH/SIDA.

       

      Qu’est-ce que le VIH ?

      Le VIH est un virus qui attaque le système immunitaire du corps, ciblant spécifiquement les cellules CD4 (cellules T), qui jouent un rôle crucial dans la lutte contre les infections. Il affaiblit le système immunitaire au fil du temps, rendant l’individu plus susceptible à diverses infections et maladies.

      Transmission

      Le VIH peut être transmis par certains fluides corporels, y compris le sang, le sperme, les sécrétions vaginales et le lait maternel. Les modes de transmission courants incluent les rapports sexuels non protégés, le partage d’aiguilles ou de seringues, et de la mère à l’enfant pendant l’accouchement ou l’allaitement.

       

      Symptômes

      Aux premiers stades de l’infection par le VIH, les individus peuvent éprouver des symptômes semblables à ceux de la grippe tels que fièvre, fatigue, mal de gorge, ganglions lymphatiques enflés et éruption cutanée. À mesure que le virus progresse, il peut entraîner des symptômes plus graves et des infections opportunistes, signalant le début du SIDA. Imaginez le VIH comme un petit virus sournois qui aime jouer des tours à notre corps. C’est comme un petit fauteur de troubles qui attaque notre système immunitaire, qui est l’équipe de super-héros de notre corps combattant les germes. Ce virus affaiblit notre système immunitaire au fil du temps, rendant plus facile pour d’autres germes de causer des problèmes dans notre corps.

       

      Qu’est-ce que le SIDA ?

      Le SIDA est le stade final de l’infection par le VIH, caractérisé par un système immunitaire gravement affaibli. Le diagnostic de SIDA est généralement établi lorsque le nombre de cellules CD4 de l’individu tombe en dessous d’un certain seuil, ou lorsqu’ils développent certaines infections opportunistes ou cancers. Pensez-y de cette manière ; les voleurs ont tendance à entrer par effraction dans les maisons quand il n’y a personne ou quand les personnes dans la maison ne peuvent pas se défendre ! Le VIH peut être présent, mais vous ne développez le SIDA que lorsque votre système immunitaire a été affaibli, puis les voleurs (infections opportunistes) comme la tuberculose, etc., entrent facilement dans votre maison (votre corps) parce que les personnes à domicile ne sont pas assez fortes pour les combattre. Le SIDA survient lorsque notre système immunitaire est super faible, et nous sommes plus susceptibles de tomber malade à cause de toutes sortes de germes que notre corps combattrait normalement facilement.

       

      Prévention

      La prévention est la clé pour combattre la propagation du VIH/SIDA. Les stratégies incluent la pratique du sexe sûr en utilisant des préservatifs, éviter de partager des aiguilles ou des seringues, et recevoir une prophylaxie pré-exposition (PrEP) pour les individus à haut risque. La PrEP implique de prendre un médicament antirétroviral quotidien pour réduire le risque de transmission du VIH. La prophylaxie post-exposition (PEP) est une autre option de prévention, qui implique de prendre des médicaments antirétroviraux dans les 72 heures suivant une exposition potentielle au VIH pour prévenir l’infection.

       

      Traitement

      La thérapie antirétrovirale (ART) est la pierre angulaire du traitement du VIH. L’ART implique de prendre une combinaison de médicaments qui suppriment la réplication du virus, permettant au système immunitaire de se rétablir et empêchant la progression vers le SIDA. Avec un traitement efficace, les personnes vivant avec le VIH peuvent mener une vie longue et saine, et le risque de transmission du virus à d’autres peut être grandement réduit.

       

      Conclusion

      Le VIH et le SIDA continuent d’être des défis sanitaires mondiaux significatifs, mais avec des efforts continus dans la prévention, la détection précoce et le traitement, des progrès sont réalisés vers la fin de l’épidémie. L’éducation, la sensibilisation et l’accès aux services de santé sont essentiels dans la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA, et il est crucial pour les individus de connaître leur statut et de prendre des mesures proactives pour se protéger eux-mêmes et les autres.

       

      NB : Vous pouvez accéder à la PrEP ou à la PEP dans votre clinique la plus proche ! Vous avez le droit d’accéder à ces médicaments et vous ne devriez pas laisser la peur du jugement vous empêcher de vous protéger !

      NB : Le seul contraceptif qui vous protège contre le VIH est le préservatif.
