HIV CASES SA PILIPINAS, TUMAAS NG 500%; DOH, NANAWAGAN NA MAGDEKLARA NG NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY

Umakyat ng 500% ang bilang ng mga kaso ng HIV sa mga kabataang Pilipino na nasa edad 15 hanggang 25 mula January hanggang March 2025. Dahil dito, nanawagan ang Department of Health o DOH sa pamahalaan na ideklara ang HIV bilang isang National Public Health Emergency.

Ayon sa DOH, umaabot na sa 57 ang naitatalang bagong kaso ng HIV kada araw sa unang tatlong buwan ng taon. Isa sa pinakabatang kaso ay isang 12-taong-gulang na bata mula sa Palawan.

Sinabi rin ng DOH na mas malala na ang banta ng HIV kaysa sa Mpox sa Pilipinas.

LOOK || 13-year-old becomes youngest HIV case in Palawan through unprotected contact

Health authorities in Palawan are raising concerns over the increasing number of HIV cases among minors, with a 13-year-old now identified as the youngest patient to contract the virus through unprotected contact.

In a press briefing, City Health Office (CHO) STI, HIV, and AIDS Program Coordinator Regina R. Villapa reported that 17 individuals aged 0-14 in the province have tested positive for HIV.

The youngest case is a newborn infected through mother-to-child transmission, while the 13-year-old acquired the virus through unprotected s*x.

CHO data shows that the highest number of cases is among those aged 15-24, with 391 infections.

Meanwhile, 593 cases have been recorded in the 25-34 age group, 187 in the 35-49 bracket, and 22 among individuals aged 50 and above.

In response, CHO and the Amos Tara Community Center are urging the public to undergo HIV testing, assuring that all results are kept strictly confidential.

They emphasized that early detection is crucial and that getting tested should not be a source of fear or stigma.
