Editor's Notes
- We collaborate with the community, church and PLWA (people living with AIDS) to prevent the Philippines' AIDS epidemic and care for those who are affected by AIDS

- Champions’ Training – in Churches, Communities, and Schools PLWA Support Activities – participating in Blood Drives, World AIDS Day, anti-stigma workshops Awareness Campaigns – in schools, communities, churches, events (ex. Lovestruck Convergence, Young Leader’s Summit of the United Methodist Church, etc.
- Primary Infection This stage usually lasts for a few weeks but can be as long as 6 months Infection is often accompanied by flu-like illness the body begins to produce HIV antibodies called the window period; HIV test may be negative because antibodies not yet detected 2. Asymptomatic stage This stage lasts for about 10 years and is largely asymptomatic. People may experience swollen glands The amount of HIV in the blood is very low, but people are, nonetheless, infectious Virus grows and multiplies in the lymph nodes, gradually damaging the immune system Antibody test will read positive 3. Symptomatic HIV in the blood (viral load) increases Symptoms, such as unexplained fever, diarrhea, weight loss, weakness develop as the immune system fails Opportunistic infections and cancers will multiply unless HIV is slowed down 4. AIDS Immune system collapses Death is usually the result of an opportunistic infection Anti-retrovirals (ARVs) enable people living with HIV to rebuild their immune system (CD4 count) and reduce the viral load (detectable HIV). However, there is no cure for AIDS. HIV hides in the body; people must continue to take ARVs the rest of their lives.
- Slide 9: DOH bar graph In alarming contrast to the global infection rate which is dropping gradually, the new infection rate in the Philippines is rising rapidly. So far in 2012, the trend continues. Last month set a new record for the highest number of new infections in one month (274), which was 72% higher than Feb 2011. 96% of the infections were male. 59% were aged 20-29 years.

- Geographic Distribution (1984-2013) NOTE: Be clear: showing this not because we want to pass judgement on people. Showing this because you might be living in one of these areas… These are opportunities where we can show love and compassion to the people living with HIV. Figure 7. Percentage of HIV Cases by Region, Jan 1984- December 2013 Since 1984 to present, there were 16,516 cases reported. Half (7,622) came from the National Capital Region. [Figure 7]. Thirteen percent (1,995) came from region 4A, followed by 9% (1,408) from Region 7, 8% (1,270) from Region 3, 6% (926) from Region 11 and the rest of the country comprises 14% (2,158) of all the cases.
- HIV is transmitted (spread) through the blood, semen, genital fluids, or breast milk of a person infected with HIV. Having unprotected sex or sharing drug injection equipment (such as needles and syringes) with a person infected with HIV are the most common ways HIV is transmitted. You can’t get HIV by shaking hands, hugging, or closed-mouth kissing with a person who is infected with HIV. And you can’t get HIV from contact with objects such as toilet seats, doorknobs, dishes, or drinking glasses used by a person infected with HIV. Even though it takes many years for symptoms of HIV to develop, a person infected with HIV can spread the virus at any stage of HIV infection. Detecting HIV early after infection and starting treatment with anti-HIV medications before symptoms of HIV develop can help people with HIV live longer, healthier lives. Treatment can also reduce the risk of transmission of HIV.
- HIV is transmitted in some body fluids, including blood, breast milk, seminal and vaginal fluids. Other body fluids – sweat, saliva, phlegm and urine will not spread the virus from one person to another. Transmitting HIV always involves semen or vaginal fluid or blood or breast milk.
- 4 highly risky practices associated with the spread of HIV here are Early sexual involvement. People are becoming sexually active younger than in the past. The younger a person becomes sexually active, the greater the risk of contracting various sexually transmitted infections (STI), including syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV. Having any of other STI makes a person far more vulnerable to HIV. Premature sexual involvement is not only associated with physical complications but with emotional and psychological issues as well. Multiple sexual partners. Having more than 1 sexual partner is very risky. This risk is also increasing in this country Men who have sex with men. This is not unusual, but it is highly risky No protection. Many are reluctant to use condoms but they can be very effective in preventing the spread of HIV in risky situations.
- ) contaminated syringes injecting drug users (IDU’s – 4%) b) unsafe organ transplants c) blood transfusions, needle prick (20, <1%) HIV is transmitted in some body fluids, including blood, breast milk, seminal and vaginal fluids. Other body fluids – sweat, saliva, phlegm and urine will not spread the virus from one person to another. Transmitting HIV always involves semen or vaginal fluid or blood or breast milk.

- The ABC’s are the basic steps in preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. A = Abstain from sex until marriage. Abstinence is a very effective means of preventing the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Perhaps someone you know is not yet married and already sexually active. The safest choice they can make is to stop and abstain from further involvement until they are married. B = Be Faithful to your husband or wife (no one on the side – spare tire) C = Condoms Correctly and consistently used, condoms greatly reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We don’t recommend this means of AIDS prevention – it’s much better to practice A and B. D = Don’t do drugs or take excess alcohol. Sharing needles for injecting drugs is very risky because trace amounts of blood in a needle can spread HIV. Also drugs and excessive alcohol impair people’s judgment, increasing the likelihood of risky behavior. E = Early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections STIs Seeking medical care when there is a possibility of infection – even to determine there is no infection – is responsible. Quickly diagnosing and treating all STIs, such as herpes, syphilis and gonorrhea, is very important because any sexually transmitted infection increases vulnerability to HIV and AIDS. It is also important that people know if they have HIV so they can care for themselves properly, get the treatment they need and not spread the virus to others.
- Hope for people who are infected. What is the treatment for HIV? Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the recommended treatment for HIV infection. ART involves taking a combination (regimen) of three or more anti-HIV medications daily. ART prevents HIV from multiplying and destroying infection-fighting CD4 cells. This helps the body fight off life-threatening infections and cancer. ART can’t cure HIV, but anti-HIV medications help people infected with HIV live longer, healthier lives. Can treatment prevent HIV from advancing to AIDS? Yes. Treatment with anti-HIV medications prevents HIV from multiplying and destroying the immune system. This helps the body fight off life-threatening infections and cancers and prevents HIV from advancing to AIDS.
