According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some prevention challenges are unique to women:

~Women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy and birth and through breastfeeding.
~A woman's anatomy makes it easier to get HIV through s*x compared with a man's anatomy.
~Having a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) raises a woman's risk for HIV more than a man's.
~Women are more likely to lack control in relationships and fear violence, stigma, or abandonment when trying to prevent HIV exposure.
~Women are more likely to be victims of s*xual abuse. People with a history of s*xual abuse are more likely to engage in high-risk s*xual behaviors like exchanging s*x for drugs, having multiple partners, or having s*x with a partner who is physically abusive when asked to use a condom.

HIV and AIDS are not problems that exist only in Africa or in other parts of the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 1.2 million Americans 13 years and older are living with HIV.

One in four people living with AIDS in the United States in 2014 was a woman. An estimated 128,778 women have died of AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic in 1981.

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988, is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease.

Good Morning my Queens and Mini Queens

Ladies pay close attention your lemons 😏 know what to watch for. If you have any of these get to your health care provider immediately because early detection saves lives

Do you have questions about s*xually transmitted infections or HIV/AIDS? Are you or someone you know living with and STI or HIV/AIDS and need help navigating the healthcare system, medications, and appointments? We can help

Have you been exposed to HIV, think you've been exposed or recently had s*x with someone who's status is unknown? Come on down to 401 South Ave (Southwest Center) to get the facts and knowledge about PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). We can get you on the right track!!!!

LADIES.....Get your melons checked!!!
If you do not have health insurance, you can try to find a center that offers low-cost or free mammograms. Contact the National Cancer Institute (1-800-4-CANCER) or the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345) for assistance.

Jewels will be doing outreach with SNUG today from 3p-5p on E. Beard
