In my line of work, there aren't many chronic illnesses I encounter, but in the blood industry, one that affects us a lot is HIV. The treatments and prevention for HIV have progressed so much over the years it is very interesting to see #chronicdisease #MHST601 (Infographic posted to my Twitter on 2021-03-08):

Take a look at this interesting article comparing the inequalities of women with and without HIV in Canada #chronicdisease #MHST601:

While looking through some resources on Chronic diseases, I came across the burden of chronic diseases in Ontario, which happened to include Diabetes- the focus of my Assignment 2.
