Additional Support
You can also approach the Social Hygiene Unit in your local municipality to seek advice and support regarding HIV/AIDS. Testing at any of these facilities is strictly confidential, as mandated by law. Therefore, if you belong to a high-risk group or suspect potential exposure to HIV, do not hesitate to get tested.
Additional Notes
HIV testing is a crucial step in the early detection and management of the disease. Early detection not only helps improve the quality of life for those living with HIV but also reduces the likelihood of transmission to others. Here are a few more important details.
- Confidentiality. Philippine laws protect the privacy of individuals undergoing HIV testing. Results are shared only with the person tested unless explicitly permitted otherwise.
- Support Services. HIV Treatment Hubs not only provide testing and medication but also offer counseling and education about living with HIV.
- Access to Treatment. Many of these centers provide free or subsidized antiretroviral therapy (ART) to individuals diagnosed with HIV, improving their overall health and lifespan.
- Community Outreach. Social Hygiene Units and community health centers are excellent first points of contact for individuals hesitant to visit larger facilities.
By visiting any of the centers listed above, you can take a step toward protecting your health and gaining access to the resources you need to manage HIV/AIDS effectively.
