The Department of Health reminded the public to practice safe sex as it is important to avoid human immunodeficiency virus transmission.

Practice safe sex involves proper knowledge about sex as well as contraceptive and family planning methods. “And also promoting sex positivity—kasi nga nagiging taboo yung usapang sex sa atin. If we just accept that it’s a normal human process that we do and you have the proper knowledge to protect yourself, then you can protect yourself from HIV,” he added.

She emphasized the importance of cultivating a “sustainable and supportive environment that is responsive to the needs of our vulnerable and key populations” such such as people living with HIV . “This donation of more than 86,000 viral load cartridges from the United States government will be pivotal to the country’s HIV treatment program,” said Vergeire.
