Email 657: Syphilis Treatment


Hi pozzie, nagpahiv test ako sa ritm satellite clinic and reactive ang result tapos reactive din ako sa syphilis. Tanong ko lang kung nag ooffer ba ang RITM satellite clinic ng treatment for syphilis? Kung meron magkano? Kagagaling ko lang sa RITM-arg last time pero sabi ko sa doctor papalipat ako sa PGH nag ooffer din ba sila nun? Sakop din ba ng Philhealth ang meds for syphilis?

 Tnks!

Hi Pozzie.

I took the HIV test in RITM Satellite Clinic and the result was reactive. I was also reactive to syphilis. My question is if RITM Satellite Cinic offers treatment for syphilis? If there is how much? I have been to RITM-ARG last time but I told my doctor that I will transfer to PGH. Do they offer it there? Are the medicines covered under PhilHealth?

Thanks

Estranghero

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE



Hi Estranghero.

Thank you for your email.

I am proud of you for taking control of your life and your health by taking the HIV test and going to RITM-ARG.

Now let's go to your questions. You can get treatment for syphilis in both RITM-ARG, RITM Satellite Clinic and PGH. All you have to do is schedule an appointment with the infectious disease doctor there. I really don't know the exact price for consultation and treatment so I will just post their links here:


From what I know, you can use PhilHealth once a year so if you already applied your PhilHealth in your hub, you won't be able to use it again.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
