HIV/AIDS in RP

HIV/AIDS information campaign in the Philippines is slowly gaining momentum with the help of the people affected by it. Do you remember our post about HIV/AIDS here last week? I checked a major news website now and was surprised they are running an article about the disease today.

"I hope that people learn from my story. If you cannot abstain, then you should protect yourself. Use condoms. You also have to choose who you have sex with. Having casual sex is really a risky business,"

I agree with one call center agent that it is the lifestyle and not the job that raises the chance of infection of HIV/AIDS and that the belief and moral standard should be upheld in one's life. Check out the video:

Because of these, the Philippine Government looks into the growing problem among yuppies and hopefully will plan out and implement a real, helpful Nationwide Health Safety System for all.

Check these videos to give you a better idea on the current status of HIV/AIDS in the country: HIV/AIDS Hotbeds and  Philippines lacks medics for HIV/AIDS Campaign.
