Owning our sexual health means having honest, respectful, & Friendly conversations. Sharing an STI diagnosis isn’t abt blame/shame- it’s abt giving someone the info they need to take care of themselves and their partners. #FriendlyPig #HIVstigmafree #STIstigmafree #DiseaseInterventionSpecialist

Today, I met with Edrick from Spectrum Medical to talk about best practices for community outreach, as well as the pros and cons of different types of HIV testing kits. And of course, I’m wearing my Trans PRIDE Friendly T-shirt because representation matters! 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ #ADateWithHIV

Narcan isn’t “just for addicts.” -drink was tampered with. -one impulsive mistake. -too much by accident. Overdose can happen to anyone. Compassion should too. Narcan saves lives -you hope you never need it… but you’ll be grateful it’s there if you do. Less judgment. More lives saved.

Chem Sex Awareness: It's not enough to simply have Narcan on hand while using. It's important that everyone you're w knows that it's available & how to use Heads up: the next day after using, there may be a dopamine deficit. #knowbeforeyougo #ChemSexAwarenessWeek @drdemetre.bsky.social

Today: HIV Is Not A Crime Awareness Day. HIV is not a crime, but 30+ states have laws punish ppl for having HIV. They were set during th AIDS crisis, based outdated beliefs. American Academy of HIV Medicine: "Redundant laws focused on one disease are unnecessary, stigmatizing, harmful, and unjust."
