The tension continues in Big Brother. After Virginia’s departure, Furia chose Martín Ku as his new enemy and Marisol, his girlfriend, was the perfect excuse to launch the exit strategy.
But in that intensity that he manages, it was exposed by making an aberrant comment about HIV and Fundación Huésped responded throught social media.
It all started with the entry of ‘la tintu’, as the Chinese call it. The young woman joined the competition with the second round of family members who participated in a trip to Varadero, Cuba, which Coy (Furia’s sister) won after a fleeting vote that the players made due to the tie that occurred with Antonella ( Nicolás’s mother).
The truth is that Marisol didn’t connect with Juliana like she did with the rest of the house and Furia didn’t like it at all. In this context, in the midst of a dialogue with Emmanuel, the player attacked the Chinese man’s young partner: “”Tintu is a great actress. Wow, I realized, I know you couldn’t talk to me but I realized how she treated you and that she couldn’t even see me. Do you know what it feels like when someone is envious and angry with you? “It connected with the whole house but not with me. What do I have? Do I smell like shit?”
Although the production of Big Brother and its host Santiago del Moro called for silence regarding this stigmatizing message, the Huésped Foundation did not turn a deaf ear to the impact that the participant’s misplaced words had and went to social networks to respond through an informative thread on X (Ex Twitter).
“Hey, they were asking us to release data on #HIV. It’s always a good opportunity to learn: reliable, evidence-based information can help us break prejudices and stigmatization. Here we leave you some key data to keep in mind”was the first post that the foundation shared through its official account on X (Ex Twitter).
Next, the organization provided a series of important data to take into account regarding the diagnosis: “HIV does not present symptoms. Nor can we assume that someone has or does not have HIV based on their physical appearance or sexual orientation. The only way to know if a person lives with the virus is by taking a test. And only the person who lives with HIV can tell. It is also important to know that HIV is only transmitted in 3 ways: through unprotected sexual relations, through blood-to-blood contact, or during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. “And all of them are preventable.” .
Along these same lines, the organization stressed that: “Having sex using a condom, a sneeze, a hug, a kiss, a mosquito bite, sharing a towel or the bathroom do not transmit the virus.” In closing, Fundación Huésped also highlighted that “An HIV diagnosis does not define you.” “A person who lives with the virus and accesses treatment can have good quality and turn HIV into a chronic disease. Even if they sustain treatment adequately, they will not transmit the virus.” “We are always here to answer any questions that may arise. If you want to know more, you can follow us on social networks, contact us or visit our website.”they concluded.
