SELF DIGINITY.

(Diginity is a state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect).

LETS SUMMERIZE SELF DIGINITY IN 3 WAYS.

1. SELF CONTENT
Means:
- self respect
- lack of vulnerability
- living with your own means - depending on yourself for survival as an adult.
- knowing yourself, your boundaries, your weaknesses and your strength.
In addition
You owe no one a good life, you owe no one anything but yourself.
You must learn to live with what you are able to manage e.g. if your salary is k5000, you must learn to live within k5000.
Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself by wanting to live a life of someone who gets k10000 and above NO, that is unnecessary and the end will be bad for you. Ladies and gentlemen, borrowing or getting a loan is not a problem but get what you payslips can manage, a loan should not crepe you, get something that will leave you surviving.

2. SELF RESPONSIBLE (BILITY)
- knowing what to do at a right time. E.g. when you are at work, you should understand your job description, your boundaries, your weaknesses and your strength in order to be effective and efficient, to satisfy your clients and patients. That's it. You should know that there is nothing more important than a service to HUMANITY, therefore, when it comes to service to humanity, do it with whole your heart.
The role is simple if you can't contribute positively to the system, leave it the way it is, don't damage it.

3. RESPECT FOR SELF AND OTHERS
- they say you can only give what you have. So it starts with yourself learning how to do the right thing to yourself that's the only time you can do the right thing to others.
Respect is treating other people equally, recognising superior, knowing your boundaries and making peace other yourself and others.

IN THE NEXT ARTICLE WE WILL LOOK AT EFFECTS OF POOR SELF DIGINITY.
Let's continue interacting and keep our self diginity.
Thankyou.

Do not mingle yourself with people who don't add value to you or people who are always negative about whatever goes on around.
We learn alot from what goes on around, from what we see,hear or from people we mingle with.
Now the question is what kind of staff are you learning from those close to you? Ist positive or negative? Is what you are learning from them building you or destroying you?

If you mingle with positive energy or vibes! You will inherit the positive energy and begin to see the world differently and learn to overcome whatever obstacles on your way.
BUT
If you inherit negative energy, it marks your failing or failure as a person.

Mind what you attached yourself to because that has the ability to build you of destroy you.

Hey 🙋 I'm hiv positive and have been for about 5 years now. I made some pretty stupid choices that led to me getting infected. I did this to my self.. there for it looks good on me. It's honestly the best thing that's ever happened to me. I was throwing my life away before. I told all my friends and family as soon as I got the news. I got in front of it.. I took away anyone's power who thinks they could make fun of me or be mean to me by having the courage to tell the world my self. I can handle the stigma I was built for this s**t 🙆 No one says anything out loud to me anyways lol there a bunch of punk ass bi***es 🤣 fu***ng cowards! They may wisper in the shadows where they can't be seen or heard by me.. but to my face no one says anything. It was a blessing in disguise telling the world i had hiv brought the ones that mattered closer to me and the ones who didn't further away.. they dropped out of my life where they've always belonged. I have 0 regrets in my life! I love every little piece of me.. are good and bad choices created.. molded who we are today.. there for I love my hiv and own it proper with head held up high proud and strong. I'm what I like to call mentally invincible 😉 I give 0 f***s what anyone thinks or says in general really lol but definitely in reference to my status in a negative way. In honor of the 40 million dead and for the ones who've yet to get it I choose to speak loud and clear! The more conversation we have.. the more hateful we break.. the more beautiful broken minds we heal and inspire.. the more hearts will be touched.. the easier the path becomes for ones who can't find the courage to stand tall. All we can do is lead by example it's not up to us who has the courage to fallow.

Regarding the issue of ARV shortage in the (Zambia).
I am not the spokes person of MOH just want to contribute to the on going debate for the benefits of my clients.
According to the memo dated 9/9/22.
MOH said there is a delay in the shipment of zidovudine_Lamivudine into the country therefore, TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) has been identified as a replacement.
Now zidovudine(AZT) is one of the main drugs that we use in second line of HIV management (AZT/3TC/LPVr or DTG).
To my clients and good followers of this platform, based on the memo, I want to assure you first that,
1. the people who are affected with this development are those on the ART second line treatment.
2. Those clients on the first line are not affected with this development so no need to panic at who.

Those who are on second I want to assure you also that you are equally safe especially if there was no evidence of you failing of TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), (based on genotype test) if it was used in the first line and there was no evidence of failure it will still work. There other options too which can be considered provided there is not evidence of resistance to your type of HIV (TAFED, ABC,TDF).
Therefore, trust your providers and follow what will be discussed with you from your clinic and remember I am always here to respond to your questions.
NOTE: the statement that, there is a shortage of ARVs in Zambia is wrong, the correct statement should be there is a shortage of Zidovudine in the country.
Enjoy the day and keep cool its really getting hot.

OPINION PALL

surely Covid_19 has taken over almost all other activities interms of sensitization and funding of other transmissible diseases/infections for the purpose of treatment and prevention.

With the above fact, the number of HIV new infections have started rise especially in the young age (15 to 35 yes old.

The young girls and young ladies are more scared of a pregnancy than HIV and STDs.
The world today the most activivities young/old people are engaging into is s*x and not only s*x but unsafe s*x.

When you go to brothels s*x is so cheap ranging from k10 to 30k. Young boys and girls are among the clients frequenting these areas, this situation should worry everyone who is a responsible citizen of this country.

We need more sensitization and more investment in both men and women. We can not stop people from having s*x but we can impower them with knowledge, safer s*x practices and with skills and businesses which can deliberately take away the mind of only wanting to have s*x for living and survival.

Economically, GOVERNMENT needs to invest in the economy so that the access to the basic need to everyone is easy and affordable.

If all the resources and energies are diverted to Covid_19, we are likely to lose the fight against HIV/TB and other highly infectious diseases.

The fight against HIV should and must continue for the better and healthier future

Remember the healthy of the next generation depends on healthy of every childbearing woman today.

We can do this and we must do this.

14/08/2022

FOR THE HEALTHY GENERATION.
To every woman of childbearing age, make HIV test part of your life style. Remember so long as there is penetrative s*xual in*******se, there is always a risk of contracting HIV/STDS, therefore, make HIV test part of your life style every after 3 months of actively involved in penetrative s*xual in*******se.
The healthy of the future generation depends on the healthy of a woman. A sick woman gives birth to sick children and a healthy woman gives birth to healthy and highly productive generation.
For the future to be free of HIV we need healthy women free of HIV.
Women should take apon yourselves to live healthy and productive lives in order to produce a healthy and productive generation and that starts by making HIV test to be part of your life styles.
