2018: Making It Possible For Key Populations To Participate in Ending HIV

-

At Most At Risk Population’s Society in Uganda (MARPS In Uganda), we have dedicated time, effort and resources to deal with issues that are overlooked as we fulfilled our mission of ART adherence among People living with HIV, LGBTIQQ and Sex-workers (Key Populations). The following are important:


  1. Food, especially in form of a balanced nutrition is important and has come up regularly as an issue faced by many beneficiaries
  2. Housing, came up in many instances as a way to stabilize one’s location, safety, security, sense of belonging and worth.
  3. Transportation to clinics where and when beneficiaries have to attend follow-up management, HIV testing or assessment for regimen changes.
  4. Allocating the right resources to go to core HIV-related services.
  5. Provide holistic and mental health services targeting Key Populations.
  6. Provide leadership opportunities for Key Populations to own skills in preventing and participating in activities ending HIV.
  7. Be part of the campaign to end allocating funds to activities that divert funds away from or have no direct linkage to prevention and ending of HIV.
  8. Promote information, data and knowledge development by Key Populations.
  9. Promote accountability best practices for all concerned with prevention and ending HIV.
  10. Develop and maintain networks with the goal of empowering beneficiaries functionally (literacy, physically and numerically), socially, economically and politically.


We are now ready to use this year as an opportunity to engage widely and universally.

On a topic such as this it’s best to get right to it and dip your toes in…or a douche as it were. Specifically we are referring to the act of anal douching, its reasons, benefits and some good things to know and consider when cleaning the old pipes! It’s also always good to consider hygiene in any anal play whether it is in preparation or if you plan on making anal douching part of the sexual play itself. Since we are jumping right in it should be noted we will be touching on the dreaded subject of fecal matter. Don’t be skeert! It’s why anal douching is important and since its use is specific to one part of the anatomy both males and females have in common that the same rules apply for both sexes. In fact it should be noted that many people believe the same feminine hygienic products used to douche the vagina are good enough to clean the rectum but most of these products are not created to clean the rectum and contain ingredients that can leave the rectum in an unhealthy state (st...

RECLAIMING FUTURES Thanks to those working to help teens advertisement |  your ad here On Friday, our community's Reclaiming Futures initiative hosted a one-day conference at New Life Center in Everett, "Systems 101." In the wake of years of budget and staffing cuts and doing more with less when it comes to serving our teens, over 100 members of our community, from teachers to Judges, treatment professionals to volunteer mentors, made the time in their already busy schedules to come together to: Learn (from each other), collaborate, build cohesiveness amongst our educational, health, juvenile justice, DCFS, treatment, and youth placement programs, be inspired, and receive a call to action. What is that call? That every adult, every Snohomish County citizen can play a part in reclaiming our youth from the cycle of substance abuse, mental health issues and crime by getting involved with Reclaiming Futures. They were asked to imagine an integrated syste...
