It is the Holy Week again! It is the time of long vacation again in the country. This is usually the peak time that people go to the different beaches in the country because of the summer heat! However, there are famous places in the country which have been given new names because of the huge population of MSM's (men having sex with men) and heterosexuals who usually flock there, flaunting their buff and lean muscled, sexy bodies and of course have sex everywhere, sometimes under the influence of booze and drugs.
It is real. It is out there. It resides with all kinds of people. It doesn't choose.
It is ok to have fun but we should all be responsible to ourselves and to others. The cases of HIV in the Philippine is still on the rise. From the January 2013 report of the HIV and AIDS Registry of the DOH-NEC, there were 380 new cases of HIV and 25 cases of AIDS in the Philippines, with 82% coming from the MSM group. Sexual contact comprise 99% of the total cases.
It is real. It is out there. It resides with all kinds of people. It doesn't choose.
BE RESPONSIBLE! Use CONDOMS and LUBRICANTS when having sex. Drugs, alcoholic drinking and sex are bad combinations. Make sure to check the cleanliness and sanitation of tattoo places. Don't share needles!!!
HIV is REAL. HIV is out there. HIV resides with all kinds of people. HIV doesn't choose.
We don't have to be infected while we are having fun during these busy weeks. All we have to do is to be RESPONSIBLE with all our actions!
"WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
NO PLHIV is alone with his or her struggle with HIV!"
