“Every 4 hrs, one #Canadian acquires HIV. Our rates are not going down & #Canada is at the bottom of the #G7countries in terms of reducing the number of new HIV cases each year.
According to #PublicHealth Agency of Canada, in 2022, Canada saw a 25% increase of new #HIV diagnosis over 2021 statistics. #Saskatchewan is leading the country in terms of new cases followed by #Manitoba.
“This rise in new cases has not been seen in over a decade,” said the #AIDSfoundation.
@msquebanh STDs of all sorts are on the rise. It really is shocking that condoms didn't seem to make the long-term impact they should've and that many don't understand the difference between birth control and health safety from STDs. Chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, horribly, are also on the rise.
There is no safe sex, but it can be made safer. Folk focus too much on romance and pleasure in the short term, forget about risks of long term.
@CStamp I think many folks believed HIV & AIDS wasn't spreading much anymore. Hopefully, more people will learn about the increase & also take more precautions with safer sexual activities.
