There were 748 new HIV cases in May 2015! Another record breaking number reported by the HIV/AIDS and ART Registry of the Philippines of the Department of Health-Epidemiology Bureau. This great number may be the impact of the National HIV Testing Week conducted during that month.
Based on the said report, 96% were male and 28% belonging to the youth aged 15-24 years old. The top three regions with the highest number of cases were NCR, Region IVA and Region VII.
To date, there were 10,207 people living with HIV in the Philippines presently on antiretroviral treatment.
