Vikelizizwe in collaboration with the South African Government Department of Health. The COVID-19 Vaccination has been designed to lower the chance of getting sick from the disease COVID-19. The vaccine is free and is voluntary. It is administered via needle in your arm. You will need to have the vaccination twice. We will arrange a date for your second vaccine when you attend the clinic for your initial dose. Medical experts had studied the COVID-19 vaccines to make sure they are safe. Most side effects are mild and don’t last for long. As with any vaccine, there may be rare and/or unknown side effects. Please speak with your doctor if you have any concerns.
While there is currently no vaccine for HIV, modern prevention has advanced significantly with the introduction of long-acting options. Beyond the traditional daily PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) pill, many people now opt for long-acting injectable PrEP, which can be administered by a healthcare provider as infrequently as every two to six months, offering highly effective year-round protection without the need for a daily regimen. To further minimize risk, it is recommended to use condoms during anal or vaginal sex and to use water-based or silicone-based lubricants to prevent condom breakage. It is also important to remember that Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U); individuals living with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load through consistent treatment cannot transmit the virus to their sexual partners. In addition to sexual health precautions, safe practices are essential for those who inject drugs. HIV can be transmitted through blood-contaminated equipment, so it is vital never to share needles or syringes. In Queensland, free and sterile injecting equipment is accessible through the Queensland Needle and Syringe Program. Furthermore, you should avoid sexual contact if you or your partner have an untreated STI, genital sore, or ulcer, as these conditions significantly increase the ease of HIV transmission. Regular testing remains a cornerstone of sexual health, and you can consult your GP or a local sexual health clinic to discuss which prevention method best fits your lifestyle. If you believe you have been exposed to HIV, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) can still prevent infection if started immediately. For maximum effectiveness, PEP should be taken within two hours of exposure, though it remains an option for up to 72 hours. Once prescribed, this emergency treatment must be taken daily for a full four-week period to be effective. If you require PEP outside of standard clinic hours, you should present to a hospital emergency department as soon as possible.
The concept of PHC has been repeatedly reinterpreted and redefined in the years since 1978, leading to confusion about the term and its practice. A clear and simple definition has been developed to facilitate the coordination of future PHC efforts at the global, national, and local levels and to guide their implementation:
