Talking with great friend Tony Jim\u00e9nez is always a delight. <\/span>I have to thank my new program, \u201cDra. <\/span>Nancy \u201d, which has allowed me to re-interview intelligent beings, with whom I grow and learn, and who love, like me, to serve and help.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was surprised when she commented on her great concern that HIV has become \u201canother\u201d pandemic alongside Covid-19. <\/span>The worst thing is that at first both viruses have the same symptoms of flu: headache and body pain, and fever. <\/span>If you feel this way, you will probably get an urgent test for Covid, but not for HIV.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are HIV, you will go home believing you have nothing, and you will start spreading it to others without realizing it. <\/span>All of this is kept very quiet, despite the serious evidence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Caribbean, in 2019, there were 330,000 people living with HIV. <\/span>There are 13,000 new infections and 6,900 related deaths. <\/span>63% are adults living with the disease and taking antivirals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, in Latin America, there were 2.1 million living with HIV and 120,000 new people were infected. <\/span>There are 37,000 related deaths. <\/span>61% are adults on antiviral treatment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, all of this has exploded. <\/span>The countries with the most infections in Latin America are Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica and Uruguay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is good to emphasize what Tony Jim\u00e9nez told me: it must be taken into account that oral-anal sex, the so-called \u201cblack kiss\u201d, can be very dangerous: studies have shown that COVID-19 can be spread through feces .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We really must talk about it, because, if we don’t, we will have two pandemics growing and affecting humanity. <\/span>We had come a long way with controlling HIV infections, but COVID-19 has prevented many from receiving their antivirals and few have been able to continue to see their doctor frequently.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All this has contributed to the figures soaring, especially in Latin America. <\/span>Even in the United States, the data is rising, when before it fell rapidly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We must fight for what we have achieved. <\/span>I ask the media to make the news known, so that people take care of themselves and avoid contracting a disease that we had more or less controlled.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s remember: \u00abWithout a hat, there is no birthday.\u00bb <\/span>In other words, you have to be very clear about the use of a condom. <\/span>And assume, once and for all, that sexuality must be exercised responsibly. <\/span>And never pretend to harm others. <\/span>Please keep him in mind at every sexual encounter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
