00:00Take the right path.

00:01That is the theme of World AIDS Day this year

00:04that is celebrated every December.

00:07Because of that,

00:08we will talk to Doc V. Diaz

00:11from the Department of Health or DOH

00:13and Doc V. Diaz will be back.

00:15Doc V.

00:25Good morning, CAR-SP.

00:28I am Doc V. Diaz from the Department of Health or DOH.

00:32Today, we will find out

00:34what Doc V. Diaz and other experts say

00:37when it comes to various health topics.

00:41On the first day of December,

00:43the whole world celebrates World AIDS Day.

00:48This year's event is a reminder

00:51that initiatives are being encouraged

00:55to end HIV-related stigma.

01:01On this day,

01:03we will show our support

01:06to people living with HIV

01:09and to remind our brothers and sisters

01:12who are still suffering from this disease.

01:15On this occasion,

01:16we will be joined by Sir Ray Mendoza,

01:21the President of People Living with HIV.

01:25Good morning, Sir Ray.

01:27Welcome to SainiDoc and Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:33For our countrymen who are confused

01:38or who may not know yet,

01:40please explain to us

01:42the difference between HIV and AIDS.

01:46Good morning, Doc.

01:48HIV is an infection

01:50that weakens an individual's immune system.

01:54When an individual's immune system weakens,

01:58this is where AIDS comes in.

02:01HIV is a virus

02:03and AIDS is a condition.

02:06What are the risks

02:10that can be placed on a person

02:17who has HIV?

02:21When we talk about HIV,

02:25it is a sexually transmitted infection.

02:30It is an infection with an infected partner

02:36without protection.

02:38It is also a mother-to-child transmission.

02:42It is also a blood-and-blood transmission

02:47of an infected individual.

02:49What are the symptoms of HIV-AIDS

02:54that can be felt immediately

02:57when there is an infection

03:00in the first few weeks or days

03:03that the person has contracted the virus?

03:07To be honest,

03:09there are no signs and symptoms of HIV.

03:13This can only be determined

03:16by an HIV screening or testing.

03:19A person who is not sick

03:22may already have an HIV infection in their body.

03:26That is why an HIV screening is important.

03:31Should someone get tested for HIV-AIDS,

03:35especially if they are sexually active?

03:38What are the risk factors?

03:42When it comes to the risk factors,

03:46STI and HIV prevention is important.

03:51It is A, B, C, D.

03:53A is abstinence.

03:56B is to be mutually faithful.

04:01C is consistent use of condoms.

04:04D is not to use drugs and alcohol

04:09because it can alter our decision-making.

04:13E is education and early detection.

04:17Where can HIV-AIDS be tested?

04:21I have learned that minors under 18 years old

04:25are not allowed to get tested

04:28and need to be quarantined.

04:31For minors under 18 years old,

04:34we have a law, RA 11166,

04:38where minors are given the option

04:42to get tested with no consent.

04:46This is a specific provision

04:49that is age 15 and above.

04:52Guidance of parents is also important.

04:57In HIV screening and testing,

05:00we have a lot of health facilities.

05:03In the local government unit,

05:06we have social hygiene clinics

05:09and wellness centers.

05:12It is said that there is no medicine

05:15for HIV-AIDS,

05:17but there are ways to lower the risk

05:20of HIV-AIDS.

05:24To lower the risk of HIV-AIDS,

05:28the virus should not increase

05:31and there should be no symptoms.

05:34What are the ways to lower the viral load?

05:40That's a good question, Doc.

05:43HIV-positive people, like me,

05:46take antiretroviral therapy,

05:50or ART,

05:53where we take it for life every day

05:57to reduce the spread of the virus

06:02and to have opportunistic infection.

06:06Now, because I always take ART,

06:11I am undetectable

06:15and untransmittable.

06:19How many people in the Philippines

06:23are HIV-positive?

06:25According to our recent data,

06:31in HIV and AIDS,

06:34we call it HAARP,

06:37almost 58 people are diagnosed

06:42with a new case of infection every day.

06:47Ah, 58 people are diagnosed every day,

06:50so we really need to look at education,

06:53especially in our youth,

06:55to lower the rate of AIDS in our country.

06:58Is there an initiative or program

07:01by our organization, PINOY+,

07:04to lower the rate of HIV-AIDS

07:07in our country?

07:09You said 58 per day,

07:11how can we lower it

07:13through PINOY+.

07:15In our organization, PINOY+,

07:18we have a communication

07:21and coordination platform.

07:23This is what we call

07:24the HIV Response Center.

07:26This is like a hotline

07:28where individuals can call

07:32and if they need to talk

07:34to navigate HIV services

07:38and HIV facilities,

07:40we will refer them.

07:42Sir Rain, please give us a message

07:44or a reminder for our KRSP members.

07:49For our viewers,

07:51we are inviting you

07:54since December 1,

07:56World AIDS Day,

07:58the theme is

08:00Take the Right Spot,

08:02where there are activities

08:05that our local government units,

08:08the Department of Health,

08:10and other civil society organizations

08:13can participate.

08:15We also have an opportunity

08:17for HIV screening.

08:19Take that opportunity.

08:21For those who are HIV-positive,

08:24please join us

08:26and participate in this campaign

08:29so that we can improve

08:32the HIV response of our country.

08:35Why is it called Take the Right Spot?

08:37What is the essence of the theme?

08:39Take the Right Spot is

08:42adapted to the UN AIDS theme

08:45this year,

08:47where our response

08:49is based on rights.

08:51Rights.

08:53When we talk about HIV screening,

08:57client's rights,

09:00the right to access

09:03sustainable antiretroviral therapy,

09:06and the right of HIV patients

09:10to be free from judgment

09:14and discrimination

09:16because of their condition.

09:18Take the Right Spot.
