Your LIFE can be SAVED!


Your life can be saved!

Early HIV testing and early treatment are the keys to saving one’s health and life. Obstacles to these are misinformation about HIV and AIDS, stigma and discrimination issues and lack of information about treatment protocols.

MY PLHIV Journey: This is my story R15-JCM2-ALPHA

This is my Journey as a PLHIV ;)

July 18, 2015. Today I thought I Died.. :( … It was 6 months ago since i was diagnosed with minimal tuberculosis and almost done with the treatment when I caught another disease early july and it was pneumonia… My Infectious Disease doctor advised me to take the test but I always neglected to do so… 

July 18,2015, I decided to do that through RITM-Satellite Malate and I was with my friend XXX.. Told her if I got tested positive I’ll accept that… I filled out the necessary form and was having doubts to be tested. When I was about to be called (A number away from the last extract).. (actually I told XXX lets just go home) So the extraction is done, A counselor approached me and orient me about everything and ask us to be back after 2 hours for the results… XXX and I went to McDonalds to eat and told her lets just go home and lets just not get the results..hahaha lol :P

Project Red Ribbon's New Dentist Partner

Hi Pozziepinoy!

I came across your response to Email 311 here and I was wondering if you still have the contact number of the dentist that Dr. Ditangco recommended? I've been looking for an HIV-friendly dentist ever since I got diagnosed, and I've had a hard time looking for one. Hope you can help. Thanks very much, and more power to TRR!

Regards,
G

More than two hundred students attended HEAT. Condoms, water-based lubricants and IEC materials from the Department of Health-National AIDS/STI Prevention and Control Program were distributed for FREE. Our volunteers gave testimonials and talked about their HIV journey during the event.
