HIV is still an important health issue in many communities. In New Jersey, Black and Latino residents are affected at higher rates than other groups.

Getting tested is one of the best ways to protect your health. Many people with HIV do not know they have it. Testing is confidential, easy to access, and often free.

With today's treatments, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives and help prevent the spread of HIV to others.

The Rahway Health Department supports access to HIV testing, treatment, and care without judgment. Contact us to learn about testing options in our area.

###xx

El VIH sigue siendo un importante problema de salud en muchas comunidades. En Nueva Jersey, los residentes afroamericanos y latinos se ven afectados en tasas más altas que otros grupos.

Hacerse la prueba es una de las mejores maneras de proteger su salud. Muchas personas que viven con VIH no saben que lo tienen. Las pruebas son confidenciales, fáciles de obtener y, a menudo, gratuitas.

Con los tratamientos disponibles hoy en día, las personas que viven con VIH pueden tener una vida larga y saludable, y ayudar a prevenir la transmisión del virus a otras personas.

El Departamento de Salud de Rahway apoya el acceso a pruebas, tratamiento y atención para el VIH sin prejuicios ni estigmas. Comuníquese con nosotros para obtener información sobre las opciones de pruebas disponibles en nuestra comunidad.

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia and affects millions of people in the United States.

Common warning signs include memory loss that affects daily life, getting confused about time or place, trouble doing familiar tasks, and changes in mood or behavior. These changes are not a normal part of aging.

If you are concerned about yourself or a loved one, talk to a healthcare provider. Finding Alzheimer's disease early can help people get support, plan for the future, and access available resources.

Junio es el Mes de la Concientización sobre el Alzheimer y la Salud del Cerebro. La enfermedad de Alzheimer es el tipo más común de demencia y afecta a millones de personas en los Estados Unidos.

Las señales de advertencia más comunes incluyen pérdida de memoria que afecta la vida diaria, confusión sobre el tiempo o el lugar, dificultad para realizar tareas familiares y cambios en el estado de ánimo o el comportamiento. Estos cambios no son una parte normal del envejecimiento.

Si le preocupa su salud o la de un ser querido, hable con un profesional de la salud. Detectar la enfermedad de Alzheimer a tiempo puede ayudar a las personas a obtener apoyo, planificar para el futuro y acceder a los recursos disponibles.

💙 June is Men's Health Month 💙

Men are less likely to visit a doctor for routine checkups and preventive care. As a result, health problems are often found later, when they may be harder to treat.

Heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, and depression are common health concerns that affect many men. The good news is that these conditions can often be prevented or treated more successfully when they are found early.

This month, the Rahway Health Department encourages men to take charge of their health:
✔️ Schedule a checkup
✔️ Know your numbers (blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol)
✔️ Talk openly about your health with your family and doctor

Small steps today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.



💙 Junio es el Mes de la Salud de los Hombres 💙

Los hombres tienen menos probabilidades que las mujeres de visitar al médico para chequeos regulares y atención preventiva. Como resultado, los problemas de salud suelen detectarse más tarde, cuando pueden ser más difíciles de tratar.

Las enfermedades del corazón, la diabetes, el cáncer de próstata y la depresión son problemas de salud comunes que afectan a muchos hombres. La buena noticia es que estas condiciones a menudo pueden prevenirse o tratarse con mayor éxito cuando se detectan a tiempo.

Este mes, el Departamento de Salud de Rahway anima a los hombres a cuidar su salud:
✔️ Programe un chequeo médico
✔️ Conozca sus números (presión arterial, azúcar en la sangre y colesterol)
✔️ Hable abiertamente sobre su salud con su familia y su médico

Los pequeños pasos de hoy pueden conducir a un mañana más saludable.

🧠 Mental Health Matters

Mental health is an essential part of overall health. Stress, anxiety, and burnout can affect the body just as much as physical illness. Taking time to care for your mental well-being isn’t a luxury — it’s part of staying healthy.

If you are in immediate distress or are thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, or chat at 988lifeline.org. Help is available 24/7.

You are not alone. 💙

😴 Sleep Health After Daylight Saving Time

The transition to Daylight Saving Time can take a few days or weeks for our bodies to adjust. Changes in sleep schedules may affect mood, focus, energy levels, and overall health.

To help your body reset:
🕒 Keep a consistent bedtime and wake time
📱 Limit screens before bed
🌞 Get morning sunlight to help regulate your sleep cycle

Adults should aim for at least 7 hours of sleep each night, while children and teens often need more.

Prioritizing healthy sleep habits can help you adjust and feel your best.
