Debunking HIV myths with Africa Director of Gates Foundation, Dr Paulin Basinga 🙌🏼 EXPLANATIONS ⬇️ 1. With treatment, HIV is no longer a de@th sentence. People on antiretroviral therapy (ART) can live long, healthy lives with a normal life expectancy.⁣⁣ ⁣ 2. There’s no cure for HIV yet. ART controls the virus and reduces it to undetectable levels, but it doesn’t eliminate it. Research into a complete cure is ongoing.⁣⁣ ⁣ 3. HIV is the virus. AIDS is the advanced stage of untreated HIV when the immune system is severely weakened.⁣⁣ ⁣ 4. HIV can’t be transmitted by mosquitoes. The virus can’t survive or reproduce in them, and mosquitoes inject saliva, not blood.⁣⁣ ⁣ 5. HIV doesn’t directly affect fertility. With effective treatment and an undetectable viral load, people living with HIV can conceive naturally and give birth to HIV-negative children.⁣⁣ ⁣ 6. Many people with HIV have no symptoms for years. Feeling fine doesn’t mean you're HIV-negative. The only way to know is to get tested.⁣⁣ ⁣ Share with friends and family to raise awareness 🙌🏼 #HIV #AfricaMonth #southafrica #myths

This one for the boys 🥸 #period #educate #tampon #doctor Tampons sit in the V, while peeing happens through the urethra – two separate openings! Understanding women's health and bodies is not just a sign of curiosity; it's a sign of empathy, respect, and love. It helps in fostering better relationships and communication with the women in our lives, be it a mother, sister, partner, or friend ❤️

0rg@sm Myths 🤥 Explanations below ⬇️ Share to raise awareness 🙌🏼⁣⁣ ⁣ 1. Many women experience difficulty in reaching 0rg@sm, influenced by physical, psychological, hormonal, or emotional factors.⁣ ⁣ 2. Only about one-third of women regularly reach 0rg@sm from pen3tration alone. Most require cl!tor@l stimulation for cl!max. ⁣ ⁣ 3. Studies show squirt!ng is a mix of fluid from the bladder (diluted urine) and secretions from Skene’s glands — a normal and real response for some women. It’s legit.⁣ ⁣ 4. Types of 0rg@sms include cl!tor@l, v@gin@l, cervic@l, blended, and even mental or er0genous zone-induced ones. Everyone’s body is different — and so is pleasure.⁣ ⁣ 5. 0rg@sms can range in intensity — from strong and explosive to soft or barely perceptible. Every experience is valid, and none is “better” than another.⁣ 6. An0rg@smia is a medical condition where someone regularly struggles to reach 0rg@sm. It can be lifelong, acquired, situational, or generalized — with causes ranging from medical to psychological.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Share this video with friends and family 😌 and don't forget to follow @doctor.siya for more myth busting 👊🏼⁣ ⁣ #Myths #Educate #womenshealth #Tiktokdoc

Boys, listen up! 🫡⬇️ 1. Period cramps happen because the uterus contracts to shed its lining. For many women, it feels like getting punched from the inside—deep, intense, and exhausting. 2. Saying “relax” when she’s in pain or overwhelmed doesn’t help—it feels dismissive. It’s not about calming down, it’s about feeling heard and supported. 3. Periods come with way more than bleeding. Hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, sore breasts, and even body aches. It’s a full-body experience. 4. Yup, the bathroom gets busier. Hormonal changes affect digestion, often leading to more poops or even diarrhea. It’s uncomfortable, but totally normal. 5. You don’t have to fix anything—just be kind. Offer love, patience, and snacks. Seriously, snacks can be emotional first aid. #period #womenshealth #educate #tiktokdoc

30cm is 12inches 🤯 How long do YOU think it is!? The V is usually around 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) deep, but it can stretch up to 7 inches (18 cm) when aroused! yup, it’s a muscle! It expands during the act and even more during childbirth. And no, it doesn’t get “loose”, that’s a myth! #womenshealth #men #educate #tiktokdoc

Health Myths 🤥 Explanations ⬇️⁣ ⁣ 1. Seed oils like sunflower or canola are NOT toxic. They contain healthy fats that can help lower bad cholesterol. There's no strong evidence they cause inflammation or harm when used in normal amounts.⁣ ⁣ 2. Raw milk can carry harmful bacteria like E. coli and Listeria, which can cause serious illness. Pasteurization eliminates these germs without harming the nutrients.⁣ ⁣ 3. Fluoride in public water helps prevent tooth decay. At regulated levels, it's safe and backed by decades of research. ⁣ ⁣ 4. Vitamin A helps reduce complications in children with measles, but it doesn’t cure the disease. Only the immune system and supportive care manage measles — prevention is best with the MMR v@cc1n3.⁣ ⁣ 5. Your liver and kidneys already detox your body naturally. Juice cleanses, detox teas, and IV drips don't remove toxins — they just sound fancy. There's no solid science backing them.⁣ 6.Measles can lead to pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death — especially in young or unv@cc1n@ted children. It’s one of the most contagious and serious childhood diseases.⁣ ⁣ Share with friends and family to educate and fight misinformation! ⁣ ⁣ Follow @doctor.siya for more health myths busting 💪🏼⁣ #educate #myths #tiktokdoc

The LAST guy 🫡 It’s important for men to learn about periods because when they understand menstruation, they become better partners, dads, teachers, and allies. Menstrual health education isn’t just for women .. when men know what a period is and how it works, they stop the stigma, support the people they love, and help create a more open and respectful world.

Episode 2: Guys, don't disappoint us! 🥸 Tampons come in different sizes to match how heavy your period flow is. It’s not about the size of your V or how s*ggually active you are (yes, some people actually believe that). Using the right absorbency helps prevent leaks and reduces the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Oh, and always change it every 4–8 hours 🙌🏼 #womenshealth #tampon #educate #doctor

Just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t walk without running out of breath. 1km felt impossible. But I made a decision to stop waiting, and start moving. I didn’t train perfectly. I wasn’t always consistent. But I showed up, again and again. And today, I crossed the finish line of my first ever 10km run. The pace wasn’t perfect. The path wasn’t easy. But with every step, I proved to myself that change is possible. Progress isn’t about speed, it’s about courage. And I’ve got plenty of that now 💪🏼 #absarunyourcityseries #absarunyourcity #Running #capetown @Moy Visuals @PUMA @Nike @Candice
