Wake-Up Call: Ignorance and Negligence Cost Lives In the wake of tragedy, we're confronted with the bitter truth: death starkly reveals our collective ignorance and neglect, especially here in Africa. We preach knowledge but fail to practice it, entrust crucial tasks to untrained hands, and brush aside safety measures as excessive. The result? Lives lost unnecessarily. The recent loss of our own, Jr. Pope, serves as a grim reminder of the risks faced by ordinary Africans, where apathy towards their well-being reigns supreme, even among those in power. His demise in a preventable boat accident, alongside fellow crew members, underscores the urgent need for prioritizing safety – a responsibility that falls on both government authorities and regulatory bodies overseeing water activities. It's a clarion call for each of us to take charge of our own safety and well-being. No one else will do it for us, especially when it's not in their interest. Let's take action now. Invest in rapid test kits, readily available for less than $5 in Nigeria. Prioritize your health and that of your loved ones by getting tested, avoiding the regret of 'had I known'. Consider PrEP for added protection before engaging in risky behavior. Don't wait until it's too late, as accessing these resources can prove challenging when sourced solely from accredited health centers. Remember, your health is your responsibility. Let's make safety a priority, because every life matters. #SafetyFirst #PrioritizeYourHealth #TestBeforeYouTest #PreventionIsTheKey #nollywood #PreventionIsBetterThanManagemet #StopEyediagnosis #HIVIsReal #LetsStopHIVTogether #ThriveTogetherInitiative #LetsThriveTogether

The Ora Quick HIV self test kit is an approved method that uses oral fluid to check for antibodies to HIV Type 1 and HIV Type 2, the viruses that cause AIDS. The kit is designed to allow you to take the HIV test anonymously and in private with the collection of an oral fluid sample by swabbing your upper and lower gums with the test device. After collecting the sample you insert the device into the kit’s vial which contains a developer solution, wait 20-40 minutes, and read the test result. A positive result with this test does not mean that an individual is definitely infected with HIV but rather that additional testing should be done in a medical setting to confirm the test result. Additionally, a negative test result does not mean that an individual is definitely not infected with HIV, particularly when exposure may have been within the previous three months. Again an individual should obtain a confirmatory test in a medical setting. #oraquickhivselftest #testbeforeyoutest
