CONVERSA COM AQUELES E AQUELAS QUE AMARAM PELO MENOS UMA VEZ NA VIDA

Um dos estados mais interessantes da alma é a sensação de amar e ser amado e por ele passamos quase a vida inteira a buscá-lo. 
Se você perdeu UM AMOR, não fique triste porque, pelo menos, você teve e sabe que tem a capacidade de amar, mesmo que a outra pessoa não o tenha amado, não tenha dado valor ou talvez não saiba amar ou identificar O AMOR.
Embora a tristeza, o luto, a raiva e a solidão venham quando isto acontece, tenha a certeza de que a grande perdedora foi a pessoa que te perdeu. E perdeu uma das coisas mais lindas e fazedora de sentido no viver. Foi ela sim a perdedora!
E você, o ser amante, terá neste novo ano a grande possibilidade de seguir amando e, quem sabe, encontrar UM NOVO AMOR, aquele que pode ser arrebatador e cicatrizador de todas as feridas de tempo outrora.
Acredite, tenha fé e pense diariamente nesta possibilidade. Você pode até achar que estou sendo ingênuo, mas não, não estou sendo porque é preciso sim seguir acreditando na sua capacidade infinita de amar generosamente, de encontrar um amor companheiro, cúmplice, fiel e sincero com si mesmo e com o amado.
Este é o meu desejo para todas as pessoas em 2018. Exercite a sua capacidade de amar saudavelmente o outro e a si mesmo. 
Quando menos se esperar, O AMOR vai de encontro a tua alma. FELIZ ANO DE 2018 COM MUITO AMOR PARA TODAS AS PESSOAS.

HIV/AIDS: AVANÇO DA EPIDEMIA ENTRE OS MAIS JOVENS E IDOSOS NO BRASIL.

A cada 17 segundos, uma pessoa se infecta com o vírus HIV, no mundo. Em 2016, cerca de 1,8 milhão de pessoas foram infectadas com o vírus da Aids. Essa cifra representa uma média de uma nova infecção por HIV a cada 17 segundos, ou seja, quase 5.000 por dia. No Brasil, uma pessoa é infectada a cada 15 minutos. A taxa de detecção da doença no país vem se estabilizando nos últimos dez anos, com média de 20,7 casos por 100 mil habitantes, segundo o Ministério da Saúde (MS). No entanto, os dados alertam para um avanço da epidemia entre os mais jovens e os idosos.

Segundo o Departamento de DST, Aids e Hepatites Virais, do MS, a taxa de infectados explodiu entre 2006 e 2015, nas faixas de 15 e 19 anos (variação de 187,5%, com taxa passando de 2,4 para cada 100 mil habitantes para 6,9) e de 20 a 24 (com alta de 108%, passando de 15,9 para 33,1 infectados). Entre 25 e 29 anos, foi de 21%, com a taxa migrando de 20,9 para 29,5%.

Em todo o país, um aumento de 29,4% no número de casos de HIV entre idosos, de 2014 a 2015, foi registrado. Segundo o MS, foram 771 novos casos em 2014, enquanto no ano seguinte foram 998 novos casos. Já em 2016, até junho, 437 novos casos foram informados ao órgão.

Estima-se que 830 mil pessoas vivam com HIV no Brasil. Do total, 649 mil (84%) sabem que são portadoras do vírus, um aumento de 18% quando se compara 2016 a dados de 2012.

STOP AIDS!

 World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.

Addressing the Lifetime Healthcare Needs of Lesbian Patients

Lesbian Identity

The term “lesbian” refers to a sexual identity, a label used to recognize that a woman has physical, emotional, or sexual attractions toward other women.

Lesbian women have the same healthcare needs as all women; however, unlike their heterosexual counterparts, they are at higher risk for obesity, certain cancers, substance use or abuse, and depression. Also, issues relevant to all women (e.g., intimate partner violence [IPV], sexually transmitted infections [STIs]) may affect lesbian women differently. These health disparities are perpetuated by social stigma and discrimination, which inhibit access to healthcare.

Behavioral Health Considerations

Compared with heterosexual women, lesbian women are more likely to live in poverty, delay seeking healthcare, and be at higher risk for obesity, alcohol use, and tobacco use. These factors, in conjunction with nulliparity, place lesbian women at higher risk for breast cancer. Given that lesbian women are less likely to undergo cervical cancer screening, they are also at higher risk for this form of cancer. Lesbian women are more likely to report experiencing depression, in part due to stigma and discrimination. 

Healthcare screening recommendations for lesbian women are the same as for all women. Age, lifestyle behaviors, and health-related practices should guide screening rather than sexual identity. However, given the health disparities unique to lesbian women, it is important to pay special attention to weight and use of alcohol and tobacco, and to conduct regular screening for depression and IPV.

Sexual Health Considerations

Lesbian women are at risk for STIs. As many as 70% of women who identify as lesbian have engaged in penile-vaginal penetration in their lifetimes. Additionally, >86% of women who have sex with women use, or have used, a sexual device. Sharing sexual devices can increase risk for bacterial vaginosis and transmission of human papillomavirus (HPV). Like all women, lesbian women should be counseled about using a barrier (condom or dental dam) during sexual activity, not sharing sexual devices between partners or orifices, and washing sexual devices with soap and water after use.

Providing Inclusive Care

Healthcare providers are in a unique position to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by lesbian patients by promoting an inclusive healthcare environment. This includes creating a visually welcoming space, a healthcare environment with nonjudgmental patient–provider interactions and intake questionnaires that do not assume heterosexuality. 

Preventing HIV in 2017 is a little more complex than “just wear a condom.”

Here are seven ways you can prevent HIV:

1. Testing

We should all be getting tested for HIV at least once a year. Maybe more depending on the type(s) of sex you have. The riskier the sex you’re having means you’ll need to get tested more often. It has never been easier to get tested for HIV. There’s rapid finger prick testing, home testing, home self-testing, testing in clinics, testing in bars, testing in saunas and there’s even still the traditional ‘take your blood at the GP’ kind of testing.

2. Talk

Discussing your HIV status, talking about when you last tested and being upfront about the type of sex you want to have, can help you make an informed decision about how safe you can and want to be. This is not a fool proof strategy for staying HIV-negative, some people just assume they know what their status is. Just use the conversation to guide your safer sex. This also doesn’t mean stigmatising someone living with HIV. By all means discuss your status when arranging a hook-up (for example) but questions like “are you clean?” are unhelpful, inaccurate and insulting.

3. Education

Take a bit of time to learn about HIV. Do you assume that avoiding anyone who’s positive will keep you negative? If so, you’re wrong. An HIV-positive person who is on medication can become undetectable – this means the amount of the virus is so low that it’s impossible to pass it on. It’s actually ‘safer’ shagging an undetectable HIV-positive guy than it is a man who just assumes their negative status. Also, by knowing this, you aren’t stigmatising someone living with HIV.

4. Sex

Know what you’re getting into, so to speak. How risky is fucking? How risky is getting fucked? How risky are blow jobs? Knowing the answer to some of these could help you figure out how to have your fun more safely. You might not be that into anal, but it doesn’t mean that the rest of the sex you’re having is 100% risk free, particularly when it comes to STIs.

5. PEP

PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency medication you can take if you think you’ve been exposed to HIV. You can get it in sexual health clinics and in A&E departments of some hospitals – which might be needed if your clinic is closed at the weekend. The main thing to remember about PEP is that you must take it within 72 hours of exposure and the sooner you take it, the more likely it is to work. PEP isn’t a magic pill, it isn’t always effective and it’s not for regular use.

6. PrEP

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is medication you can take which can stop you getting HIV. 

7. Condoms

Let’s finish with the one you’re all expecting to see. Wearing a condom can help protect against HIV and a myriad of other STIs. There’s lots of different types of condoms out there, tailor-made to fit your needs. The thing is condoms can fail. They can break, slip off or you can damage the condoms by using the wrong type of lube. That’s why having a back-up plan or combining different safer sex strategies can keep you safer.

90–90–90 - An ambitious treatment target to help end the AIDS epidemic.

Até 2020, 90% de todas as pessoas vivendo com HIV saberão que têm o vírus.  Até 2020, 90% de todas as pessoas com infecção pelo HIV diagnosticada receberão terapia antirretroviral ininterruptamente.   Até 2020, 90% de todas as pessoas recebendo terapia antirretroviral terão supressão viral.  O Brasil foi um dos primeiros países da América Latina e Caribe a adotar formalmente o 90-90-90.

O Relatório de Monitoramento Clínico do HIV

 É um importante instrumento para guiar a tomada de decisão e o planejamento de ações de saúde voltadas ao controle do HIV/AIDS. Nele são apresentados indicadores sobre o diagnóstico, o tratamento e a proflaxia pós-exposição (PEP) do HIV, tanto em referência ao Brasil quanto às Unidades da Federação. 

Estima-se que, ao final de 2016, havia aproximadamente 830 mil PVHIV (Pessoas Vivendo com o HIV) no país, das quais 694 mil (84%) estavam diagnosticadas; 655 mil (79% haviam sido vinculadas a algum serviço de
saúde; e 563 mil (68%) estavam retidas nos serviços. Observa-se cobertura antirretroviral de 60% e supressão viral de 54% entre todos os indivíduos infectados pelo HIV. 

O número de pessoas com HIV que sabem da sua condição aumentou. Também é maior a parcela dos que estão em tratamento com medicamentos antirretrovirais. Ao mesmo tempo, as taxas de abandono à terapia ainda é grande.

Um dos maiores desafios é tentar garantir que as pessoas diagnosticadas entrem em tratamento - e mantenham essa condição, especialmente na população entre 18 e 24 anos. Nesse grupo, apenas 56% dos diagnosticados estão em tratamento e 49% têm carga viral em níveis considerados ideais.

THE WHO AFRICAN REGION IS THE MOST AFFECTED REGION. STOP AIDS!

The WHO African Region is the most affected region, with 25.6 million people living with HIV in 2016. The African region also accounts for almost two thirds of the global total of new HIV infections.

WORLD AIDS DAY: EVERYBODY COUNTS.

 

World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.

HIV CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.

• HIV continues to be a major global public health issue, having claimed more than 35 million lives so far. In 2016, 1.0 million people died from HIV-related causes globally.
• There were approximately 36.7 million people living with HIV at the end of 2016 with 1.8 million people becoming newly infected in 2016 globally.
• 54% of adults and 43% of children living with HIV are currently receiving lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART).
• Global ART coverage for pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV is high at 76% .

WORLD AIDS DAY: INFORM YOURSELF. EDUCATE OTHERS.

• Key populations are groups who are at increased risk of HIV irrespective of epidemic type or local context. They include: men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons and other closed settings, sex workers and their clients, and transgender people.
• Key populations often have legal and social issues related to their behaviours that increase vulnerability to HIV and reduce access to testing and treatment programmes. 
• 
• In 2015, an estimated 44% of new infections occurred among key populations and their partners.
• There is no cure for HIV infection. However, effective antiretroviral (ARV) drugs can control the virus and help prevent transmission so that people with HIV, and those at substantial risk, can enjoy healthy, long and productive lives.

No dia 24 de novembro de 2017, foi divulgado o Relatório de Monitoramento Clínico do HIV, do Ministério da Saúde, o qual aponta que o Brasil obteve avanços no diagnóstico, tratamento e controle do vírus nos últimos quatro anos. Até 2016, o país tinha 84% das pessoas diagnosticadas com o vírus em tratamento. O documento também avalia metas da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) para 2020, metas 90-90-90, cujo compromisso dos países signatários é chegar até 2020 com 90% das pessoas com HIV-AIDS diagnosticadas; desse grupo, pelo menos 90% em tratamento e, dos que estão em tratamento, 90% com supressão viral. 

Utilizando dados do ano de 2012 a 30 de junho de 2017, o relatório mostra que o Brasil aumentou em 18% o índice de diagnóstico de pessoas portadoras do vírus HIV e, em 15% a quantidade de soropositivos que fazem tratamento médico regular.

Estima-se que 830 mil pessoas vivam com HIV no Brasil. Desse total, 694 mil (84%) sabem que são portadoras do vírus - um aumento de 18% quando comparado com dados de 2012.

World AIDS Day 2017: Everybody counts

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and Charcot disease, is a specific disorder that involves the death of neurons. The cause is not known in 90% to 95% of cases. 

French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot discovered the disease in 1869.

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. 

A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment – "No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. "Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As this area degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in the region.

There are two different types of ALS, sporadic and familial:

1. Sporadic which is the most common form of the disease in the U.S., is 90 – 95 percent of all cases. It may affect anyone, anywhere. Familial ALS (FALS) accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all cases in the U.S. 

2. Familial ALS means the disease is inherited. In those families, there is a 50% chance each offspring will inherit the gene mutation and may develop the disease. 

ALS is found to be more
common in men than in women, affecting 1·2–1·5 men
for every woman. 

Survival is highly variable, but

respiratory failure usually leads to death about 3–4 years
after onset.

The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in ALS
are still not fully understood.
