Everyone thinks that when one gets sick from an incurable disease, it becomes the end of the world for them. At the start, a lot would feel the agony of hopelessness, the despair that everything is crumbling right in front of their eyes, that dreams have been shattered and life has been wasted.
Hi Pozziepinoy,
Dear Pozziepinoy,
I will be sending the PozziePinoy's Prayer List again to the heads of churches here in the country and in two church organizations in the United States this Friday evening. I have added new pozzies in twitter and I would like to add them have to this list. I also indicated a priority list for those who are in need of immediate prayer!
The PLHIV's who work for government and the private sectors in the Philippines are required to provide the PhilHealth Form CF1 every time they go back to the HIV/AIDS treatment hubs for their refill of ARV's, which is usually every 3 months. This is the form certifying that the employee is an active contributor of PhilHealth. This is a requirement under the Out-patient HIV/AIDS Treatment package (OHAT) of PhilHealth.
Hi Pozziepinoy,
In this time of rapidly increasing HIV and AIDS cases, we really don't know who has it, who is living with it. The symptoms of the disease can't be seen by scrutinizing one's appearance. Unfortunately in our society, where stigma on the disease is still strong, only by someone's disclosure can it be known. So basically HIV is like a "thief in the night". It can lurk on us if we are not being careful. If we don't protect ourselves, there is a great chance that we will be infected. If we don't use our knowledge during encounters wherein it is possible that HIV can be transmitted, we are prone to getting it.
Hi Superman,
I’ve been asked a lot of times where the best place is to have an HIV Test and The RITM Satellite Clinic in Malate, Manila always pops out. Curious about it, I researched about the place and the services and these are the things that came out:

Awareness programs are everywhere. Before I was wondering if there are really programs about HIV and AIDS in the country side. I 've heard a lot of them here in Manila, until I met Jake. He is an HIV and AIDS advocate and his advocacy is on HIV awareness
Hi Pozziepinoy,
"Hi Pozziepinoy, 
"Hi Pozziepinoy,
It was a spur of the moment thing. Tag yesterday afternoon just told me that we should go somewhere for a quick out of town trip. I didn't have work at that time so I told him OK. Tag called a hotel and booked us a room for the night while I packed our bags. In a few minutes we were already driving south of Manila. I texted my colleagues at work and told them that I won't be coming in the following day.
Hi Pozziepinoy,
I've heard a lot of comments about ARV's in forums and in social networking sites here in the Philippines about our ARV's. A handful are asking why we are still taking 2-4 pills of ARV's in our cocktail when there are already options in the rest of the world for just a one pill ARV. A lot are asking when is the time coming when we will take only one pill a day so that we won't have a hard time swallowing all our current cocktail drugs. A lot are asking if they can get them from the U.S., Canada and Europe and have the ARV'st fedexed here.
