Have you heard about PrEP? It’s a daily HIV prevention medication that can reduce the risk of contracting HIV by up to 99%!

Your primary care provider can provide you with a prescription for PrEP, which is now covered in Manitoba through the Manitoba HIV Medications Program (MHMP). This ensures all Manitobans can access this important drug free of charge.

Those first cuddles are doing more than you think. Skin-to-skin contact (holding your baby against your bare chest) is one of the best ways to help your newborn adjust to life outside the womb.

Skin-to-skin contact can help:
- Keep your baby warm and regulate their heart rate and breathing.
- Support healthy brain development.
- Encourage breastfeeding or chestfeeding by helping your baby recognize feeding cues and latch more easily.
- Strengthen bonding and help both you and your baby feel calm, safe and connected.

The benefits don't stop after birth—skin-to-skin time can be enjoyed every day. Try it for at least 1 hour per day for the first 3 months of your baby’s life.

Advance care planning is a way to help you think about, talk about and share your thoughts and wishes about future health care. It gives you a ""voice"" in decision making, helps you determine who would communicate for you if you are unable to communicate for yourself and should include conversations with your health-care team.

Everyone should have a say in their health care. Plan ahead today to ensure that your wishes are known, no matter what the future holds for your family and your health.

La Planification préalable des soins est un processus qui favorise la réflexion, la discussion et le partage de vos pensées et souhaits concernant vos soins de santé futurs. Elle vous permet d'avoir votre « mot à dire » dans la prise de décisions, vous aide à déterminer qui communiquera pour vous si vous ne pouvez plus parler en votre nom et devrait inclure des conversations avec votre équipe soignante.

Tout le monde devrait avoir son mot à dire au chapitre de ses soins de santé. Planifiez et assurez-vous d'exprimer vos volontés, peu importe ce que vous réserve l'avenir.
