HIV Good Stories

Our Vision and Mission: Whether living with HIV or not, we all need to have the same understanding of #HIV #AIDS and the possibilities that exist.

Lenacapavir is a groundbreaking, twice-yearly injectable drug for HIV prevention (PrEP) and treatment. It acts as a capsid inhibitor, providing 6 months of protection, making it highly effective at lowering HIV transmission rates compared to daily pills.

In the midst of life “life’ing” with its everyday challenges, leaving you addled and angsty. Then, you have one of those days that spark the tone for days, weeks and months to come. Yesterday was that day, a good day. And the weeks to come are going to be busy, exciting, stressful, but immensely rewarding. I know I’m burying the lede, but be patient with me, I’ll share what we’re working on 🔜 😉

Dear Black Child, Stay Strong… Love, #KSM

🔊 “Should I tell them before we get intimate?” In a powerful snippet from Metro FM interview, Thula Mkhize founder of Good Hope Stories opens up about The Missing 1.1 Million — the many South Africans who have stopped taking their HIV treatment. He unpacked the importance of disclosure, privacy, and the ethical responsibility to let your partner know your status before things get physical. 👀 Would you tell someone your HIV status before having sex? Why or why not? #loveLifeZA #StartAndStayOnTreatment #MyHIVTreatmentWorks #PLZCALME0833231023

Spent a part of my evening sipping tea and having a much needed conversation with @FaithMangope on @MetroFMSA — I had to momentarily put aside my default crassness… Enjoy yeah 😉

@NtokozoMkhize on dating someone who’s living with HIV. The quoted question was posed to @KuthulaMkhize, but Ntokozo’s answer is beautiful.

At times we seek inspiration from all these “successful” people on the net when all the inspiration we need is within touching distance… Ergo, meet @NtokozoMkhize, Founder and MD @ZelaHouse, an IT solutions house that specializes in Business Intelligence (BI), Data Analytics and data solutions. Creative Director at @GoodStoriesSA, and a slew other business projects that will be revealed to you in the near future 😉 Ntokozo runs a successful IT business, has a B Com in Information Systems, but what you don’t know about him is that the first time touched a computer was in 2003, at a tender age of 18, while doing his first year at the University of KwaZulu Natal – counterintuitive, well for me, that he graduated within the allocated three years and now runs an IT business. I have the pleasure of seeing how he intrepidly moves, his passion for giving opportunities to the youth, which requires patience, grooming and a lot of mentoring – these young adults are now major players in the IT space. In the words of Zig Ziglar, “It’s not where you start but where you finish that counts.”

I shed a tear or two every time @iamJamieFoxx’s “I wish you were here” plays — I earnestly believe the woman who raised @NtokozoMkhize and I is in heaven smiling down on us cause all the work she put in in our primitive years is yielding the intended result. Her altruistic spirit has been and will be part of our DNA for as long as we breath. Siyabonga Gogo, Bhungane 🫶🏽

Why I don’t like hiking. 🤓 . . It’s always a good time when @KuthulaMkhize @OlecisM & I get together.
