    CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[0:10] - Monkeypox Outbreak ContinuesNational health emergency declaredEven though experts don’t expect monkeypox to be the next COVID, it has swiftly become a déjà vu nightmare. Last week, President Biden declared a health emergency for monkeypox. This announcement came weeks after many major cities declared emergencies. Currently, there are a reported 7,500 cases of Monkeypox in the U.S and more are being detected daily.

There, Medical professionals will shed light on exposure, early detection, and post-infection.[0:48] - Helping Solve Housing Crisis in CaliforniaAHF doing our partThe housing crisis in California is one of the most visible and persistent obstacles for social wellbeing. There are failed systems, finger pointing, and a clear lack of accountability. That is about to change. Adaptive reuse is a practice that involves economically repurposing an older, depleted, or otherwise vacant building for the purpose of offering permanent and affordable housing. On Friday August 5th, AHF and Housing is a Human Right held a preview at the Barclay Hotel of their new exhibit, “Adaptive Reuse: Transforming Buildings, Transforming Lives. City officials were invited to tour the space and learn about AHF's housing efforts. AHF and Housing is a Human Right were presented a Certificate of Recognition from the state of California.[1:36] - The 24th International AIDS ConferenceSpreading the news about our “condom emoji” campaignThe 24th International AIDS Conference kicked off in Montreal, Canada on July 29th. AHF hosted an interactive satellite event to discuss advocacy initiatives. At the conference, AHF shared their innovative “Condom Emoji” campaign with public health leaders across the globe. AHF offered pins of eggplant emojis with condoms on them for global leaders to wear at the conference. The condom emoji pins and campaign are used to promote safe sex through safe sexting. To join in on the campaign, sign the petition at: condomemoji.org.[2:09] - AHF Now Offering COVID-19 AntiviralAsk an AHF pharmacist for informationDid you know AHF pharmacy offers Paxlovid, Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral pill. Studies show that Paxlovid reduces the risk of hospitalization or death by 89 percent in high-risk patients who experienced symptoms for three days or less. The antiviral was granted an emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration for anyone ages 12 and older who weighs at least 88 pounds, and is at high risk for severe disease. Paxlovid should be taken within the first five days of experiencing symptoms. If taken after this 5-day window, the damage done to the body by COVID-19 can’t be undone by the antiviral. All AHF pharmacists will have more information on eligibility and use of Paxlovid.[2:55] - AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival & 5K RunDon’t miss out on Sept. 24thThe AIDS Walk Atlanta music festival and 5K run is almost here.
