Thank you, ISU Echague, for having us — and thank you of SCHO – HAT for the collaboration and support.

HIV cases are increasing among young people or Gen Z. Many are affected because of lack of proper information and awareness.

That is why it is important to educate students in schools and universities about HIV—how it spreads, how to prevent it, and why testing is important.

Through education, we can protect the youth, reduce stigma, and save lives.

Let’s spread awareness. Let’s choose to be informed.

57 A DAY

They are young, often broke, sometimes in love. They come in quietly. Walk-in clinics, anonymous forms. Every day, 57 more of them.

The virus isn’t new. Its targets are. Fifteen. Seventeen. Twenty-two. Their blood is telling the truth faster than their government can listen.

Congress remains unmoved. The halls are preoccupied with ceremonies of allegiance.

There'll be indignant speeches. A task force. A ribbon. And another 57 tomorrow.

Sinimulan na ng House Committee on Health ang deliberasyon sa mga panukala na bigyan ng access sa HIV treatment ang mga menor de edad.
