POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email. Thank you for finding the blog through my youtube videos.

Since you got tested overseas, once you come back here in the Philippines, you have to retake the HIV test first. This is a requirement of DOH before one can be enrolled in any hub in the country. You can take the HIV test in any testing facility near you:

HIV TEST CENTER

MANILA HIV TESTING CENTER

RITM SATELLITE CLINIC, MALATE

After the HIV Test, read the following links below for your next steps:
