The ARV issue on X

​So I've been lurking sa X and seeing yung post ni TLY about sa mitigation nila to provide 2 weeks of ARV, and it got so many reactions from the community. Then right after that, may post bigla si MHC on how to transfer hubs. 🤣 The coincidence is real, tambling na lang ako sa kakatawa sa timing.

Anyway, mga kapatid, let's not panic. There’s a lot of moving parts here:

  • Internal: Maybe may pagkukulang si TLY on how they manage or spend their buffers, or hindi lang napag-isipan nang maayos yung advisory.
  • Government: Maybe may pagkukulang din ang government side for relying on a single pharma pipeline instead of diversifying supply to absorb these shocks.
  • Global: Macro-wise, this might just be the domino effect of global supply chain disruptions (like the Strait of Hormuz issues) hitting us locally.

Hindi lahat affected, may iilang hub na nakaready and has stocks.

May mga LGU hubs like Klinika ng QC who still provide 3 bottles. So let's face this with a level head. Wag basta-basta susugod o magpa-panic transfer sa mga hubs nyo para hindi din sila biglang ma-congest. Do your best to stay calm and find a better solution.

I know madami ang affected since malaki ang clientele at madaming branches si TLY. But let's learn from this chaos instead of just burning down CBOs.

For those na nasa outside-the-metro areas kung saan mas mahirap ang supply, maybe it's time you guys create local group chats (like on TG or Discord) para mabilis ang pagtutulungan at hiramang-botes lalo na sa ganitong crisis.

Let’s look out for one another, and keep spreading awareness about PrEP para naman mabawasan ang strain sa treatment stocks in the future. We can only make this work if we work together. Stay safe, everyone! 🙂

Comment down below, when last refill nyo, name ng hub nyo, city location ng hub, contact number if possible.

4,600+ confirmed HIV cases tapos nasa first quarter palang tayo?

“95% of the newly reported cases were among males, while 5% were females. ” — DOH

grabe lang talaga. kahit anong pag push ng DOH about health promotion & education, kahit anong pagbibigay na ng libreng condoms, HIV screening sa mga health center, talagang kinukulang pa rin sa knowledge bawat isa. nakakalungkot na pabata ng pabata rin nada diagnose.

very alarming na yung ganitong bilang.

Sa mga LTE users dito before, anung kwentong VIVID DREAMS nyo?

So as the title says, para ito sa mga LTE users, mostly yung mga bago pa lang or nung transition period nila. Since ang LTE ay may component ng Efavirenz, madalas may kaakibat talaga siyang side effect na vivid dreams. Yung tipong panaginip na sobrang realistic na feel mo yung texture, lasa, at touch, pero panaginip lang pala lahat.

Sa case ko, hindi lang siya vivid dreams; nakaranas din ako ng sleepwalking. Here are my two favorite "Sabog sa Efavirenz" experiences:

  1. Ang Sugo at Tagapagligtas ng Future 🚀

Nagising ako na may nagsasalita sa dark corner ng room ko. Ginigising daw ako at sabi wag daw ako matakot. Nung nag-reply ako ng "Okay," sabi niya i-o-off daw niya yung camouflage niya. Biglang nagpakita sa akin, isang makisig at poging lalaki!

Sabi niya, kailangan daw ako sa future. May maiimbento daw akong mathematical formula soon, pero mamamatay daw ako before ko ma-publish. Kailangan daw nila yung formula para maresolba yung problema nila sa future. Dadalhin daw nila ako dun, tapos ibabalik din agad.

Bago pa ako makabangon, naramdaman niya na may papasok sa kwarto, kaya nagtago siya ulit. Pumasok parents ko para i-check condition ko, then nag-good night na sila. Pag-alis nila, ginising niya ako ulit. May susundo daw sa akin na sasakyan sa may kanto para dalhin ako sa spaceship time machine. Para daw hindi ako mahalata, magdala daw ako ng basura palabas as a cover story.

So, tinali ko yung basurahan, lumabas ako ng bahay kahit umuulan. Naghintay ako sa kanto ng matagal pero walang dumating. Pagbalik ko sa kwarto, tulog agad. Kinaumagahan, tinanong ako ng tatay ko: "Bakit ka lumabas ng dis-oras ng gabi, may dalang basura, tapos nagbabad sa ulan ng walang payong?"

Dun ko lang narealize na panaginip pala yun. Good thing hindi ako tumawid ng kalsada o may pumulot sa akin! 😂

  1. The Urgent Meeting 💼 Context: Managerial level ako sa company namin, so normal na yung sunod-sunod na meetings. Naka-medical leave ako nun, so hindi ako expected mag-work, pero nag-no-notif pa rin yung invites sa phone ko.

Bigla akong nagising (or so I thought) at nakita kong may meeting notification. Sumali ako at nakinig. Bigla raw tinawag yung pangalan ko at tinanong ang progress ng projects. Siyempre, sumagot ako as best as I can! After the meeting, balik sa tulog.

Pagkagising ko sa umaga, sandamakmak na messages mula sa partner manager ko: "Bakit ka pumasok sa meeting? Kung ano-ano ang pinagsasabi mo!" Nandoon pa naman daw yung VP! Kailangan daw nila akong i-kick out sa meeting kasi disrupting na raw ako. Mabuti na lang talaga na-explain ko sa kanila na dahil sa side effect ng meds kaya hindi ko alam ang ginagawa ko. 🤣

Kayo ba? Anong pinaka-wild na Efavirenz Chronicles niyo? Share niyo naman.
