Another one noted that the surge has been sudden and impressive.
“The Polygamist is not even 10 days since premier. I know it will surpass Blood and Water.
“Maybe I am biased because I couldn’t enjoy Blood and Water. Only watched a few episodes and canned it.”
The Netfllix show is based on the book written by Zimbabwean author Sue Nyathi.
Even health authorities in Gauteng have added their voice.
“You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.
“Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.
“Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.
“If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.
“Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.”
