Email 464: Training for Educators


Hi Mr. Pozzie Pinoy,

Hoping that you are in good shape while reading my message. I read almost everything about your blog regarding HIV/AIDS. Allow me to extend to you my deepest gratitude for creating a very informative blog like this, which our country needs at this time. Please let me introduce myself briefly, I am a college instructor in a higher education institution here in Manila. Researching about HIV/AIDS is one thing that keeps me busy (aside from my graduate school and teaching responsibilities). Last month, I and my friend decided to take the HIV test at RITM Malate. From my experience, I am with in claiming that the people there are so accommodating and non judgmental.

Email 227: Will Take the Test!


Hi Pozziepinoy,

My partner passed away last week. He was HIV+ and he only got tested in November 2012. We had unprotected sex in July 2011, and I already consider myself HIV+ ( though I will get myself tested on Monday in RITM-MALATE as u recommended).

Email 125: A Seafarer's Question


Hi 

I'm XXX and I'm a seafarer. We are here in Portugal right now and I just had an unprotected sex the other night, and I'm worried that I may got inffected too. I want to have a test but we are here at sea so I can't get able to have one.

I'm planning to have one when I get home to the Philippines in April next year...
