According to the Philippines' Department of Health (DOH) and National Epidemiology Center (NEC)'s HIV/AIDS Registry, from 1984-2012, of the total 10,242 HIV cases reported, the main mode of transmission of the virus is sexual contact. From 1984-2006, the transmission was higher among heterosexuals however from 2007, there was a shift in the predominant trend of sexual transmission from heterosexual (20%) to men having sex with men or MSM (80%). In the survey, majority of the cases of HIV in the Philippines are coming from Metro Manila.
Because of this, I opened an account in Planet Romeo, one of the famous online social networking sites in the country to reach out to the population most at risk of spreading and or acquiring the disease.
