MCM College: UM Mental Health Awareness Month – “Are You on a Date?” Sexual Health Talk
滿珍紀念書院：澳大心理健康推廣月系列活動 - 「你約會了嗎？」性健康講座
On 24th October, 2024, Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau invited Macau AIDS Care Association to hold a sexual health talk entitled “Are You on a Date?” with about 30 students in attendance. Social worker, Ms. Leong Chi Ka combined her lecture with a video presentation, and interactive Q&A session to raise students’ awareness and concerns regarding “dating violence”, “online dating safety tips”, “sexual health”, and “AIDS”. This helped students establish correct sexual values and increase their knowledge of AIDS prevention and treatment. Finally, Leong urged everyone to eliminate the stigma associated with AIDS, accept and care for those infected with HIV, and create a friendly social environment.
“This talk gave me a deeper understanding of dating safety. The practical tips provided by the social worker have enabled me to protect myself more assertively, while also enhancing my understanding of AIDS. This knowledge is very important for everyone, allowing us to enjoy dating more confidently and safely.” – Yoyo Choi
“This was a very meaningful talk. I learned some relevant knowledge about AIDS, including its transmission routes and the drugs effective against the HIV virus. This allows us to view AIDS more rationally and comprehensively, avoiding blind discrimination against AIDS patients and creating a more friendly and inclusive atmosphere.” – Daisy Deng
“Although I already understood the transmission routes and preventive measures of AIDS, this talk provided new knowledge about blocking the virus and treating AIDS patients. The event was relaxed and enjoyable, and I also learned a lot about sexual health, which was very beneficial.” – Rosalie Shi
“People often associate AIDS with immoral behaviors, such as promiscuity and drug use, leading to the stigmatization of AIDS. This causes patients to possibly refuse testing and treatment out of fear of discrimination. However, through this talk, I realized that we easily overlook other infection routes, such as mother-to-child transmission and blood transfusions. This made me understand that daily contact does not lead to infection, so we should care more about AIDS patients, helping them face life and treatment more positively.” – Harry Zhu
2024年10月24日，澳門大學滿珍紀念書院邀請了澳門關懷愛滋協會舉辦一場名為《你約會了嗎？》性教育講座，約有30名學生參加。梁志嘉社工通過專題演講、影片播放和互動問答環節的結合，提高了學生對於「約會暴力」、「網路交友約會安全技巧」、「性健康」和「愛滋病」的意識和關注，從而幫助學生建立正確的性價值觀，並增加對愛滋病防治的知識。最後，梁社工呼籲大家消除對愛滋病的污名，接納和關懷愛滋感染者，營造友善的社會環境。
「這次講座讓我對約會安全有了更深的了解。社工提供的實用技巧讓我能夠更果斷地保護自己，同時也增進了我對愛滋病的了解。這些知識對於任何人來說都非常重要，讓大家可以更加自信和安全地享受約會的樂趣。」 – 蔡思瑤
「這是一次非常有意義的講座，我學習到一些關於愛滋病的相關知識，包括愛滋病的傳播途徑和對愛滋病毒有作用的相關藥品。這讓我們能夠更加理性和全面地看待愛滋病，避免能盲目歧視愛滋病患者，並營造一個更加友好包容的氛圍。」 – 鄧蕙嶸
「雖然之前我已瞭解愛滋病的傳播途徑及預防措施，但對於愛滋病的阻斷以及如何治療愛滋病患者，這次講座提供了新知識。活動氛圍輕鬆愉快，我也學習了許多有關性健康的知識，受益匪淺。」– 史芸萱
「人們往往將愛滋病與不道德行為聯繫起來，比如濫交、吸毒等，造成愛滋病的汙名化，導致患者可能因害怕歧視而拒絕檢測和治療。但通過這次講座，我發現我們很容易忽視其他感染途徑，如母嬰傳播和輸血感染。這讓我明白了日常接觸是不會感染的，所以我們更應該關懷愛滋病患者，讓他們更積極地面對生活和治療。 」
