I Just want to ask if Manila Social Hygiene is using 4th generation HIV kit? Since it seems that you are affiliated. On my 29th day post exposure, and my test turned out to be negative, though I would still take the test. I know  this is already repetitive, but I just want to lessen my anxiety even a bit. Should I get tested in 3 months which is 90 days or 12 weeks, 84 days. I’m just a bitt confused.

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi XXX,

First of all, thank you for your question. 

Manila Social Hygiene uses 4th generation test kits already. The rule of thumb of the Departrment of Health is 6 weeks of window period, but most still advice a 12 weeks window period. In your case, it is best to just retake it 3 months post exposure. For the meantime, while waiting, always wear a condom while having sex. It is best to protect yourself as well as others. It is best to stop the spread of HIV through us. With your knowledge from the pre- and post-counselling, I know you will be ok.

Once again, thank you for your question and shoot us again with other questions if you are still bothered by anything.

Early FREE HIV Screening

Yesterday I personally assisted a 20 year old straight guy who got worried that his girlfriend got infected with HIV because she a month and a half ago, she was saying that she had tongue issues and was weak. 2 weeks ago he claimed that after having condom less sex, he also experienced tongue issues and also got sick the following day. From then on, he felt so depressed. He reached out and emailed me here and finally after a week of long chats and text messages, we met somewhere in Ortigas and he got screened. It turned out to be negative. However, I requested him to go back and take another HIV screening in March to make sure that he really is HIV negative. I also told him if he really wants to have a faster conclusion, to tag along his girlfriend so we can finally know if she has it or not and or has transmitted it to him or not.

 HIV Screening is free. You can just contact me at contact@projectredribbon.org and then we can just meet and I will personally do the HIV Screening. This  HIV screening is FREE and I can do this because the Foundation is an official partner of the Department of Health - National AIDS/STI Prevention and Control Program. Anyone can also reach out to me at our facebook page HEATS,

Project Red Ribbon Launches New Logo








PROJECT RED RIBBON LAUNCHES NEW LOGO

MANILA, Philippines, February 14 - Project Red Ribbon launches a new identity and logo, marking the most dramatic change in its visual identity since 2011. The new logo reflects the evolution of the Foundation as well as its vision in the future.
“While care management continues to be our heart and soul, our new logo better communicates what The Project Red Ribbon stands for today,” said Project Red Ribbon President and CEO Ico Rodulfo Johnson. “We’ve kept some visual elements that reflect who we were but emphasized on what we have become now, as our programs evolved in the areas of the awareness, prevention, treatment, care and support on our HIV advocacy.
The new design now boasts of its core values embedded in all its programs. The symbolic red ribbon showcases a visible heart which emphasizes love; care and compassion formed by the two c’s forming the heart; and now, the hands are intertwined signifying not only  support but brotherhood.
Developed by our creative team led by Jejomar Natividad assisted by Myke Sotero, the new visual brand presents the Foundation as evolving and modern, reflects the strength and direction of its programs, and underscores its commitment to sustainability and focus on values of love, care, compassion and  support not only for people with HIV but to everyone. “HIV is everybody’s concern and ending the HIV epidemic and AIDS-related deaths is everybody’s business.”

The new Project Red Ribbon logo will be introduced immediately on various digital platforms, including the Project Red Ribbon website, social media channels, all new information, education and campaign materials,and all presentations. Look for the new logo to come to life at major events in the coming months.
