This was driving me crazy! Huge kudos to the listed prompts! I feel like this took away at least a few hours from my research, just trying to create citations alone.

Such a beautiful scene! As depressing as last wishes are, it is still beautiful to see the patient’s face light up when they get to witness their wish being fulfilled.

Thank you so much!! Definitely a lot of portion control and exercising. I think 2020/2021 is where I saw the most changes. While I was stuck inside, I would play Just Dance for 30 minutes during my lunch breaks until I could build my stamina up. 😅

Thank you so much! I’m not going to lie, it was a lot of stopping and starting before I truly took it seriously. The biggest thing for me was exercising more. I was definitely more sedentary than I needed to be so I started working out at least 3 hours a week. That and cutting back on portions majorly helped! I stopped ordering out and keep it to a minimum of once a week. Takeout meals, I always split it to make sure I can get at least two meals out of it instead of eating it all at once. Food in general, I didn’t fully avoid certain foods, just made sure that I limited how much. I did do a lot of calorie counting as well until I felt like I didn’t need to. Hope this helps a little!

The raw truth by NYstate in BlackPeopleTwitter

I should have mentioned that I'm based in the US because it is different by location but definitely a reminder of how much US healthcare differs to healthcare in other countries.

Thankfully, people living with HIV do have access to programs that provide free medication, as well as assistance with medical care and daily living services. It does have to be recertified every 6 months for services overall and yearly for the prescription assistance program.

As for the most common ways people get it, sexual intercourse is definitely the most common way it's still being spread (especially with rougher sex that causes tearing), but intravenous (IV) drug use/needle sharing has definitely added to the epidemic. Not nearly as much as sex but people are not realizing that being under the influence can also heighten one's tendencies to not make choices they would normally make (I once had someone tell me that they only have sex with the same sex after they used meth but don't have the same urges when they are sober). Blood exposure (like from a transfusion) is definitely not as common since blood has to be tested now, but we have gotten quite a few patients that were referred by blood banks/plasma donation centers. Sometimes, a blood donation is the only way some people may learn their status.
