Alarming Rise of HIV Cases in the Philippines

The HIV Registry of The Philippines recently released the number of new HIV cases for the month of June 2015. An alarming 772 new cases has been registered, an all time high in the history of the country.

This is a sad news for the country indeed. The good news is that through the efforts of the Department of Health, NGO's and concerned private individuals, more and more people are getting tested each month and as a result, more people get to know their status. Now, which ever way these Filipinos got infected is already in the past and nothing could change it. What's important is that they start treatment immediately.

Another sad fact is that members of the Filipino GBT community are the ones really hit hard by this event. Clearly, education is still lacking when it comes to HIV and AIDS.

HIV and AIDS awareness has been THP's advocacy since the beginning of this year. HIV is really a problem and will continue to be a threat to all of us if we do not do something about it.

Know your status. Get tested. Educate yourself to fight HIV. Always wear a condom.

How Can You tell that your Partner is Cheating on You?

After months of not seeing each other, I was able to catch up with two of my best high school buddies last night and we talked about a lot of things. One topic that somehow became one of the best talk of the moment though is how to tell if someone is cheating on you.

According to my friend, her brother asked his girlfriend to give him some space.

"Baka naman nakahanap ng bagong chinochorvah, kaya ganun!" was my other friend's reply.

I wasn't a bit a surprise by my friend's reaction because I've had a few encounters with cheaters myself, and the one thing I've learned is that the "I need some time alone" line is the universal warning sign that something is up. Keep your radar on if he ever tells you this, gurls and gurlashes!

Quezon City Ordinance Prohibiting Discrimination

Did you know that Quezon City has a law prohibiting gay and lesbian discrimination in the work place. I never knew this until recently. At least one city in the Philippines protects and recognizes the rights of its gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.

Read it here and here.

What can you say about this? :)

Info on HIV and AIDS

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) do not choose. We can all get it. These are the ways we can contract the virus.

Now, Men who have sex with Men are in the "high risk" group. If you think you are at risk, these are the signs and symptoms you must watch out for (according to health.com).

HIV in the first few weeks and few months of exposure is asymptomatic, meaning you won't show any symptoms at all that you've came in contact with the virus. If you do, you might mistake it for symptoms of a common flu. The only way for us to be sure of our status is to get tested.

For the Philippines, these are the testing sites you can go to and get tested to know your HIV status (information provided by pozziepinoy and The Red Ribbon Project).

Information is the key. Knowing your status can make a big difference.

Get yourself tested and let's help this world fight the dreaded virus!
