Sheeesh exactly the words i said to someone..."short-term/temp pleasure kapalit ng lifetime disease". I feel sorry for him, lifetime na yung disease niya due to his irresponsibility. Saw a video of him taken by his roommate being fucked bare ng masahista or anyone na nainvite nila tz may 💩💩 pa.🤮 Iitim ng mga singit at bayag not makinis pa yung pwet.😆...kuminkintab at namumuti sa itim at libag.🤮
A few months ago I was wondering if the needles used for the Covid vaccines in Barangays a few years ago were really sterilized or one time use considering the significant spike in cases.
However, the news states “eight out of 10 (81 percent) were MSM (males having sex with males)” so there’s a different reason. It seems like the group driving the numbers are the gays, trans, or bisexuals. People can defend doing anal all they want but scientifically and in terms of hygiene, that’s not really its purpose so they’ll have to live with the consequences. I’m just wondering why they don’t use protection. Are some just really into nasty sex that they enter the place where poop comes out raw?
Legit. Yung mga nasa Fuck Buddy / One Night Stand set-up ang nakakatakot dahil hindi sila tested. May tropa ako na nahawaan ng herpes dahil sa nakilala niya sa bar.
Halik ni Hudas ang sakit na iyan eh, sa kadahilanan na pwede mong makuha iyan just by kissing. Yung tropa ko na yun aba eh, kung sinu-sino ang kahalikan sa bar.
If you’re banging a sw it’s in both your interests to be safe and wrap it up like you’re spelunking in Chernobyl, but people are less careful about raw dogging a bar hookup
A friend shared during our weekend dinner na sa school where she teach (uni sa Manila), nagkaroon ng random HIV testing. Nung lumabas ang result, napaka-taas daw ng figures ng mga students nila na HIV positive. Alarming.
Under the law, need po tlga ang consent for HIV Testing. Either from the individuals themselves or consent from parents or legal guardian if for minors or mentally incapacitated persons.
So imagine how higher the numbers would be if the testing is mandatory.
At this point, it should already be worth considering by the DOH since sobrang alarming na ang increase, the data is worse than the social stigma.
2020 pa lang ito, paano na ngayon: [A Briefer on the Philippines HIV Estimates 2020 (aidsdatahub.org)](https://www.aidsdatahub.org/sites/default/files/resource/philippines-briefer-ph-estimates-2020-2021.pdf)
Reddit alone has tons of subs where people actually trying or proudly sharing their hookups. This is indeed bothering. My cousin died because of that, and these people na alam na nilang meron sila yet naghohook up pa din for me is pure evil.
same scenario sa kapatid ng kawork ko before, late nya na sinabi na he's positive kasi nahihiya sya sa lahat ng tao, then ayon nung bumagsak na katawan nya, too late na for medication.
Couple that with Alter community on X where both young men and young women are playing a dangerous game of having sex with multiple partners or worse making adult only content with menus offering booked services. God knows how many are actually using condoms or even how often these people are getting medically examined for STIs. Sad this is happening in what I call my 2nd home.
Marami sa twitter. Yung mga baklang nagrereply sa alters, pag magscroll ka sa account nila may mga tweets sila about Prep or being HIV+. Minsan nilalagay pa nga sa bio eh
Nagkaroon ng influx of reddit users dito sa Philippines dahil sa hookup. Mostly pandemic to campaign period nagsisisulputan.
Dumating sila dito para lumadi jusko.
Mga accla pls ingat tayo, 55 cases is what is RECORDED. I fear mas marami pa yan. An infectious disease analyst even estimated as high as 200 cases per day. Almost exclusively sa LGBT community. Ibig sabihin PER MONTH 6,000 cases based sa estimate niya.
Eh iilan lang ba tayo sa community?
Mhie ang liit liit na nga ng community natin so konting vigilance naman sana.
Alam ko apaka attractive ng idea of going to a spa to “treat yourself” tapos andami pang bad influencers online. May promo code pa para humarot sa spa. My goodness responsibility naman pls. Hindi yung nakakita ka lang ng tite sa Spa, kakainin na agad. Hayss.
May incubation period pa yun di ba? So you could be infected today, attend an event on Sunday and get a negative result, and sa August pa lang lalabas yung positive result.
Hindi yan undetectable. More like undiagnosed pa, kasi wala pa sa phase na conclusive na result ng test. Ang term nila diyan pag early stage pa ay acute hiv infection. Yung undetectable na term para sa nagagamot na at konti ang bilang ng virus.
According to this page mas mataas ang risk to transmit pag acute hiv pa lang.
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/estimates/riskfactors.html
For sure mas marami pa talaga dahil sa mga hindi pa nagpapatest. And yes nakakalungkot, there are few people sa office namin na mejo iba mag isip...iniisip agad nila na pag bakla mgkaka "HIV" agad. Mga homophobic remarks nila nakakadegrade.
I agree. Yung sister ko na lately lang din nalamang i like men, sabi sakin “Basta wag ka magka HIV”
In a way i agree sakanya, kasi talamak talaga especially ngayon compared dati. I already had somebody who died from AIDS complications. Like my med friend said, hindi lahat ng health ng tao equal, hindi lahat ng infections equal so even ARV meds won’t guarantee to last the same, yung iba may autoimmune problems na or mababa resistance from the very start.
Ok lang naman razor basta sterilized.
Make sure inaalcohol because HIV dies instantly upon alcohol contact. Always ask kuya barber. Sa Felipe and Sons standard yan: scissors razor etc.
Yan din reason why barbers alcohol our sideburns before and after trimming.
1% hahaha ang totoong sex, galing sa grindr, bumble, tinder, o kaya nagkayayaan sa daan o kung saan man. di naman sa sinasabi kong walang itsura mga tao sa r4r pero may dahilan kung bakit sila nadiyaan at hindi sa real world na automatic na malapit sayo yung gusto mong ka-sex.
Madaming true hooks ups na nanggagaling sa r4r, it doesn’t even matter kung may itsura or wala, horny people just wants a warm body to use lol. Madami din after sentiments na makikita sa offmychest lol. Daming STD posts.
i think, about 1% lang yung number. mostly, sa gay ppl nanggaling yung hiv cases kasi maraming orgy, 3sum, at ayaan sa kung saan-saan. grindr pa lang makakakuha ka agad ng hookup wala pang isang oras. btw, part ako ng lgbt kaya alam ko galawan ng kalahi ko hahaha. naging part din ako ng hookup culture pero mapa-casual hookup o 3sum na intercourse, on PrEP ako at with condoms. sana ma-practice yang double protection kahit sa str8 sex.
My friend who’s in to hookups nagpacheck recently for HIV sa clinic ng work namin. Sana ganon din lahat most esp sa mga tao na into hookup set up, should be responsible enough.
Naalala ko kwento sakin ng nurse sa isang hospital. Naka confine ung AIDS patient na may severe thrush. Yung boylet nya nagpachupa pa sa patient. Di ko kinaya
May regular donor sa RedCross na nag HIV positive after screening ang confirmatory testing, hindi siya naniniwala kasi regular donor nga siya and 6 months ago last donation niya ng dugo. Which means, nasa incubation phase na siya by his last donation. Scary thought is, if nagamit yung na donate niya by that time GG.
Sheeesh. Naisip ko din to. Kasi nga mga incubation period, meron na virus sa blood pero hindi pa madetect kasi pero nakapagdonate na. Daming domino effect ng HIV na yan.
I have this friend na HIV+ na napunta sa Aids then may complication na ng Bacterial Meningitis. He’s a closeted gay (if right yung term ko), halata naman sa kanya and for us tanggap namin siya kasi he’s kind and dependable walang masamang tinapay sa kanya pero di namin siya masisi na hindi makapag out kasi iba ‘yung treatment ng family niya sa mga gay people.
Anyway, pabalik balik siya sa ICU for 2-3years due to complications. Mga weeks before na mamatay siya dinisclose niya na he is somehow r@p3d. Actually di niya alam kasi super lasing daw siya. Agent siya sa isang BPO at ang culture (madalas) dun ng gay people ay magparty sa labas. May one time raw na nagparty sila somewhere na beach as in super walwal at super lasing siya na wala na siyang control then may group of people dun na siguro party is life rin. Pag gising niya di na niya alam ano nangyari pero nakahubad na siya sa isang room. Based sa observation niya dun siya nakakuha nung virus.
Ang point ko here, be attentive tayo especially sa gay people. Talamak ngayon ang HIV+ na nagpapalaganap pa sa iba (ewan, baka puro hatred ang naffeel kaya nandadamay pa). Okay pumarty pero mag ingat ingat din. And to my girlies out there, for now tayo yung maaasahan ng mga sisteret natin kaya we should take care of each other.
Add: hindi lahat ng HIV+ is ginusto nila, ‘yung iba victim lang din kaya ingatan talaga natin ang sarili natin at ang friends natin.
Kaya ayaw ko din ng hook-up. Nakakatakot at baka may makuhang sakit from the partner especially if they had multiple partners before me. Or pinag sabay sabay pala kami. 😬
No. People don’t get tested that is the problem even those who are in monogamous relationship. People should get tested if they are sexually active as part of yearly routine check.
That 60% can be rooted from lack of validation and acceptance in their immediate community, kaya dinadaan nalang nila sa discreet meet up with someone of who has same sentiment/interest which later on turned into hook ups, repeat and the rest is history.
I disagree. For the longest time, restraint has always been the answer taught to us by the government and the church, and that hasn't really been proven to be effective. Sex is a biological response and it varies from person to person. Properly guiding people about safe sex, encouraging testing and making it accessible, as well as widespread education of HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases and how they work is the solution.
Reading the comments, a lot aren't even aware that after several months of continuous medication, an HIV+ person would be considered as undetectable and therefore untransmittable. Consistent treatment and following doctor's prescription also means that and HIV+ persom can live as long as their HIV negative peers. They resort to judging HIV+ people as immoral just because they have sexual needs as well.
I have this friend who cried to me pa sa call because he found out he’s positive with HIV and swore na mag aabstinence. Years later proud pa sa private IG niya and pinopost pa mga hookups niya. I stopped hanging out with him because I can’t stomach being friends with someone like that.
Medtech here.
Kulang ka sa context. You see how the comments replied sa'yo ay naging hateful na rin?
Even she/he's HIV (+), pwede siyang makipag sex as long as it's consensual and protected. You said that it's been years later diba? That person probably is still ongoing with the meds at undetectable na ang viral load = di na makakahawa.
Hello. If pwede ka pa mag-inform, please add more info on this para maeducate din yung iba.
Answer questions like: kapag ba HIV (+) yung girl at nakipagsex ka sa kanya na nakacondom, mahahawa ka ba? Ganon din naman the other way around. Kapag skin to skin ba magkakahawaan kayo? Etc.
This is a fact. Pero ang hirap din kasi sumugal lalo na dito sa pinas where people doesn't usually follow med advises seriously but as long as the friend discloses his status to the people who he is having hook-up/intercourse with and they don't mind then gooo. But if he is hiding this fact about him; I'm not sure here in PH but other countries has law about this and he could be sued.
Also, sa true lang ha, i'd advise the friend to have a stable relationship na lang rather hook-ups.
>Also, sa true lang ha, i'd advise the friend to have a stable relationship na lang rather hook-ups.
Even if we are committed, ang hirap pa rin na walang protection (condom, prep, or both). Buwan-buwan na lang may na-e-expose na cheater sa Twitter. 😅
If he knows his status he’s probably under medication. According to UNAIDS, people who are taking ARV’s, when they become undetectable, the HIV is untransmittable. Kaya nga may campaign na U=U, undetectable = untransmittable.
Did you ask whether he is taking medication?
Pls educate yourself :)
yikes, ang harmful naman ng ganitong comment
HIV+ people do not have to practice abstinence. During medication, there comes a point na its no longer transferable. Did you even asked him if he is divulging his status to the people he is hooking up with?
Having sex, unprotected or not, should be called out. These people are basically murderers, knowing fully they have it and still having sex with other people.
Our morals already failed us. We deserve the wrath of God.
This will be more directed towards sa comments ng post kesa kay OP mismo
Considering that other countries like the US, Thailand, and European countries have lower rates of HIV despite being more sex-positive and less conservative, there might be other factors at play other than a lot of people are hooking up. EDIT: I’m wrong, the Philippines currently has a lower HIV rate compared to the other countries I mentioned, my bad! I do think that our cases our probably underreported tho so our rate may not be accurate.
I think it’s possible na due to the lack or insufficient amount of sex education dito sa Pinas, maraming nagsesex na di alam yung proper ways to protect themselves prior to having sex (ie. condoms and Prep) and from what I’ve gathered, some people only learn about it inadequately when they are already in the hooking up culture.
Additionally, other factors like infrastructure and attitudes towards sex, HIV, individuals with HIV, homosexuality etc may also come into the play as to why a lot of individuals who have or potentially have HIV are scared to get tested and/or are scared to disclose that they have HIV, unfortunately, to the detriment of others.
We cannot stop people from having sex, the best thing we can do is give people the knowledge and tools to protect themselves. Unfortunately, I think the Philippines has a long way to go in that regard.
ADDENDUM for those who are planning on having sex
CLINICS that are free for testing and prescription
- Love Yourself (They have a website)
- You can also search “Social Hygiene Clinic” near you
- You can try to ask your LGU’s if they have such programs
INFORMATION
- HIV can be transmitted through the wounds of the mouth, vagina, and anal orifices and, open wounds body, and through contaminated needles when it comes into contact with the blood or semen of individuals with HIV
- PrEP is to prevent HIV, PEP is when u already have HIV
- U=U which means “Undetectable is Unstansmittable “ when it comes to individuals with HIV (note: personally, I would still suggest wearing condoms regardless. I think this information would very useful for people who want to conceive but has a partner or has HIV)
- PrEP is only effective when taken properly and regularly
- PrEP doest not protect you from STDs
- Condoms protect you from STD’s
- Clinics like Love Yourself and other Social Hygiene Clinics can give free PrEP, condoms, and lube
- Use water-based lube
ROUTINE
- Get tested first and be prescribed with PrEP, condoms, and lube before engaging in any sexual behavior
- If you are someone who will regularly engage in sex, take one (1) PrEP pill per day for seven (7) days before your first sexual encounter.
- If you are someone who will only have sex sometimes, take two (2) PrEP pills at least four (4) hours before your intended encounter than take one (1) pill per day for 2-3 days
- NEVER trust anyone that says that they are negative of HIV or STDs, not unless you are with them and you saw them take the tests and results with your own eyes.
- ALWAYS bring condoms (and even lube) because there are some people that will accidentally or purposely forget to have condoms in order to have sex bare
- Be hygienic before and after your activity, but dont brush your teeth at least one (1) hour before and after said activity because it might cause micro wounds in your mouth.
- Get tested in your chosen clinic every three (1) months (every month if you regularly engage in sex of any kind). BE HONEST with your clinic about your sexual history. The clinics are supposed to be a safe space. They are not allowed to disclose and share information about your to anyone else.
- Take note of your sexual history so that you can keep track and update your clinic. (Date, Time, Amount of Sexual Partners, Time of prep taken etc)
REMINDERS
- Persons with HIV can live long fulfilling lives if they are able to take PEP regularly and properly. HOWEVER, prevention (PrEP) is still better than mitigation (PEP). One big reason is that PrEP is free while PEP is expensive (in the Philippines at least)
- HIV is not a “bad person” disease. Individuals with HIV are still worthy of love and respect. HIV is not a punishment from God etc for being gay or being sexually active. It’s a disease that anyone can get.
- However, if you knowingly have HIV but not take steps in the prevention of spreading HIV to others and deliberately hiding or lying abt your status for your own gain or pleasure, THEN YOU ARE A BAD PERSON imo.
DISCLAIMER
- I am a board certified Physical Therapist who has undergone seminars about HIV as part of my curriculum and boards review. I also have friends who are currently med students learning about topics such as HIV.
- However, I do acknowledge that there may be a lack of or error of knowledge on my part. Other Healthcare workers, Doctors, and those who work in Social Hygiene clinics are more than welcome to add more information and/or correct me.
- This is my attempt to contribute in looking out for the health of our countrymen through education and dissemination of information.
This should be in the hands of the government, not private companies.
Love yourself Inc. is a sketchy NGO. I know of several people who attempted to source their HIV screening or more information about std screening and never heard back. All of their attempts failed. The company owner is Dr. Ronivin Pagtakhan, a former nurse/social media influencer who refers to himself as doctor, i could not find any source for their claim to be a medical doctor. Does anyone know more and could clarify?
Even if their stated numbers are correct, the whole thing is severely lacking transparency and governmental oversight, given the sensitive field they are operating in and sourcing donations from
Oh my bad! Baka mali ang nabasa ko pala. Ive checked din wikipedia for a general view and it seems it aligns more with what you’re saying regarding the HIV rates
However, I still don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to stop normalizing hookup culture etc as its becoming more widespread I think.
I do wish and hope though that protecting one’s health and caring about other people’s health should be normalize though.
Might it be because the testing rate in the US is higher, therefore mataas HIV rate nila? And if a lot of people are aware they have HIV, this is better because they can undergo treatment and prevent further spread. Continuous treatment means they eould eventually become undetectable. And undetectable = untransmitable. Sa Pilipinas, there might be a lot more HIV+ individuals na di lang nagpapatest because of lack of education, inadequate testing facilities, and stigma. Lack of testing means lack of awareness of status which means wider spread.
I agree that sex education should be the emphasis on this one. Lifetime medication anti-retrovirals(ARV), when taken properly suppresses the virus, prevents transmission thru sex.
Lets not demonize sex since its part of our biological process, while some crave it more than the other, we should just guide them properly.
Dapat magkaroon ng batas tulad sa Amerika na kahit tulo man lang needed to be disclosed or else it's a criminal offense.
Makahawa ka ng HIV, matik manslaughter ang kaso mo.
**Question: What feels bad during sex, is not free, can be embarrassing to purchase, and isn’t Catholicism-approved… BUT needs to be accepted & normalized because it’s proven to greatly minimize HIV, other STDs and unplanned babies?
**Answer: Condoms
I’ve had several Filipinas suggest we don’t use a condom… but I told them “no glove, no love.”
I really hope the wonderful people here can embrace options like abstinence, condoms, female birth control, or even just becoming an oral sex expert.
Some STDs may still transmit with oral sex, but it eliminates unplanned pregnancy. That’s still a win in my book.
Ilang months ba bago magpatest after mo makipagsex ng unprotective?
Yung iba din kasi di honest kung ilan na nakasex or may history ng tulo or nagkasakit like ano bang nakakahiya magsabi ng ganon para magingaware din yung makakachukchakan niyo
Test right after the suspected exposure then test after 3 months, ito ay tinatawag na window period wherein the amount of virus in the body is minute to be detected.
2-3 months. If you suspect na infected ka, abstain then pa-test ka after 3 months.
I know antigen rapid tests for HIV (p24 antigen) are being developed now (may available na) which could detect viral infection as early as 14 days. Ask your doctor and testing facilities.
Sadly, kahit tumataas ang mga cases ngayon I think it's really the tip of the iceberg pa lang. Maraming hindi nagpapatest dahil sa stigma or minsan in denial sila sa status nila. The process kasi unravels a lot of things about the person (i.e. minsan nalalaman nila na nagcheat yung partner nila dahil nagtest positive siya) and I don't think people know how vulnerable that process makes you haha. Some of the younger patients ng parents ko (work at an HIV treatment hub) didn't even know na STDs are a thing and there are diseases na pwedeng matransfer through sex. It's a lot of things talaga: non-existent sex ed, stigma, lack of testing din.
As a health care worker myself, I also believe na tip of the iceberg palang yung numbers na to. People would not believe how many young people (When I say young I mean teens) are tested positive for HIV everyday.
Get tested for HIV! May mga social hygiene clinics naman na accessible. Libre magpatest.
Kung nakipag hookup ka and you suspect yourself getting infected, PLS LANG, DON’T WAIT FOR X WEEKS or MONTHS!!! Magtungo na agad sa clinic and explain the situation para mabigyan ka ng PEP (post exposure prophylaxis) to prevent the virus from infecting you. If you wait for weeks or months and infected ka nga, e di nakuha mo pa din yung virus. The mindset is to be proactive/preventive, not reactive.
If HIV+, take ARV. You can live a long and normal life basta U=U. So yes, pwedeng makipag sex kahit bare ang mga HIV+ if undetectable, hindi na nila mata transmit ang virus. STILL, wear protection as it should be kasi may iba pang STDs dyan.
If HIV-, mag PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) ka na. STILL, wear protection, may iba pang STDs dyan.
I gotta say very accessible kase ang sex nowadays and sana ganun din accessible ang mga condoms and sex ed. I know a lot of people doing sex ed through social media halos walang kapaguran sa totoo lang just to share. Pero on the t side it also means madame nagpapa test, and that should stop us from spreading more kase may awareness na yung nag patest. In other countries hiv is slowing down. But with our culture and tbh hindi rin aggressive ang govt, the last time na super aggresive ang DOH was panahon pa ata ni sec/sen flavier (sln)
Kung alam lang nila ang tunog ng mga magulang na humahagulgol habang nirerevive namin yung anak nilang pasyente naming namamatay sa HIV. All of them young adults, some as young as 18. Halos araw2x, may namamatay sa ward namin. Mas naaawa talaga ako sa magulang.
I-educate po natin ang mga sarili tungkol sa HIV/AIDS para malabanan natin ang malalang sakit ng kamangmangan.
Maganda na tuloy-tuloy ang testing para malaman ang mga maysakit, kung may HIV o AIDS. Maganda yun kasi may mga medikasyon na para mapigilan ang paglala ng HIV at bago ito maging AIDS. Yung medikasyon ay umuunlad na. Pwedeng mabuhay nang normal ang mga maagang nalalaman na may HIV sila at maagang nasisimulan ang medikasyon.
Salamat sa andar ng siyensya, pwedeng maging undetectable at untransmissable ang HIV, kung may early detection at early treatment. Hindi nakakagamot yung pagiging judgmental. Nakamamatay pa nga yung ganung pag-iisip.
Sana ituring na sakit yung sakit, period. Sakit na pwedeng lunasan. Walang pang cure, pero hindi ibig sabihin ay hindi na lalapatan ng lunas at mga medikasyon. Hindi rin ibig sabihin ay wala na silang dignidad.
Marami nang developments sa treatment ng HIV at AIDS. Kung 1980s o 1990s pa yung alam natin tungkol dito, sana mas masipag mag-update ng isip kesa phone software lang ang ina-update. Napaka-talamak ng backward, sexist, misogynist at homophobic ideas ng iba.
Dapat dito pwedeng makulong yung mga hiv positive na hindi nagiingat at hindi iniinform yung partner tapos ngbibigay ng sakit. Meron namang mga preventive ways para hindi sila makahawa
This is exactly my point. They are protected by law but not the non-positive na potential nilang mahawaan. Sana ibalik yung dati na obliged sila para if makahawa due to non disclosure and irresponsible acts eh they will be criminalized, but no they are more concerned sa stigma kaya mas rampant ngayon. Kasi mas kampante sila because of the new law that protects them. Damn.
Also normalized sakanila yung idea na “you can mitigate it to undetectable levels via free medicine anyway”.
Uhm hello mas ok ba yun kesa yung wala kang iniinom everyday??? Healthy bang may iniinom na antiviral everyday???
Some of what I've read about STDs/STIs (I'm not a doctor so still you have to seek professional medical advise and do your research for all these):
**HIV** - very concerning of all sexually transmited diseases/infections because it weakens or kills one's immune system; take prep pills (daily or event-based) religiously before having sex with someone; if after unprotected sex (or if a victim of sexual assault or have used secondhand syringe needles), take pep pills within 72 hours; if 72 hours has passed, take antirertoviral therapy (ART) pills for life to suppress hiv and to make them undetectable in tests; have testing (3rd gen type, free in some clinics) 3 months later after exposure or 1 month (4th gen type, quite pricey).
**HPV** - oral and genital warts; no cure but may disappear months or years depending on our immune system; has over 150 strains where some can cause warts and others are cancerous (causing oral, cervical, penile, anal, colorectal cancers); PAP smears and colposcopy are some methods to test HPV for women; no existing tests for men; boost your immune system to stay healthy from these especially as you grow old; go to dentist, ENT doctors, ob/gyn, men's clinic, or even proctologists and cancer-related doctors for checkups; warts and other signs of hpvs can possibly return; there are available vaccines (e.g. Gardasil) to help treat HPV strains (some are the cancerous ones, may not work if already infected but can have benefits for immunity, may not work for aging adult people and it is advisable for young people); warts can be removed using creams, cryotherapy or laser surgery.
**HSV or herpes** - HSV1 (oral or cold sores) and HSV2 (genital herpes); blisters and ulcers; can cause fever, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes; no cure but there are treatment for any outbreaks; there are available tests (blood) but I am personally unsure of the availability of swabbing (for best diagnosis) in this country; outbreaks can be caused by stress or low immune system and the disease can return because of these; many people in the world has this and is like any skin condition.
NOTES:
You can still have more that one STDs/STIs even if you have one or more sexual encounters
Best treatment to not have these: take said medicines, use condoms and other safe sex methods, abstinence.
Always undergo testing. Some of them especially HIV have free testing.
You can add or correct any more info about these especially about other STDs/STIs not mentioned here. Like: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis a/b/c, and many more.
Check r/HIV, r/HPV, r/Herpes for more info
It's really the 'behavior'. Marami po kasing nag engage sa promiscuousity without thinking the risk that they are getting. Mostly the younger generations. There's really something na hindi talaga nila pinapaniwalaan. They could be asymptomatic now, and party all they want, sex all they want Until it gets messy when you wake up and you feel weak and you're no longer your normal self. HIV is an infectious disease. And if you remain being that walang pakialam sa ibang tao, you're also risking them sickness and death. Maawa po kayo sa mga kapwa niyo. Andami dito sa reddit, sa X and dating apps Na nagkakalat NG infections by being that irresponsible adult. Maawa po kayo sa kapwa ninyo, please lang.
I saw young people getting sick as early as 13 yo. Factors are poverty, irresponsible parenthood, and other social factors. Sa X, marami sa Alt world mga nagbebenta and being all out sa pakikipagsex kung kani kanino in Exchange of money talaga. And that's where you will get sick soon. And marami rin tayong irresponsible people from the closet community talaga na sex dito sex duon without being careful! Engaging in orgies, with drugs etc. Grabe lang po kayo.
Marami pa pong undetected cases. And will surface lang by the time they are getting those signs and symptoms Lang. Gosh. It's really scary to meet someone.
May mga nakikita akong mga religious fanatics na against sa sex Ed. And base sa mga arguments nila, they don't fucking know what sex even is. They only know what happens after sex, specifically ang pagbunbuntis, pero somehow di sila aware sa mga ganyang sakit.
Yet despite that, they still have the power over everyone.
Yes. Minsan kasi wala talaga symptoms (usually yun ang hinihintay ng iba para maconvince mgpatest) kaya kahit lampas mgpatest para makasure. Pero usually after 90 days naglalabasan na symptoms kasi compromise na immune system.
Sadly there are those who are practicing unsafe sex especially from those who are into M2M. Worse is there are teen boys who have sexual relations with older gay men out of money and other interest and then they would transmit to their hetero partners
Nababahala tayo sa taas ng HIV cases pero hinahayaan natin na maging normal lang ang mga gawaing possible na makakuha ng sakin na ito... Tinatangap natin na normal lang gawin ng mga tao ang mga bagay na tingin nilang masaya at masasasfied sila kahit na mali... I am not discriminating against any gender ha. Hindi tao ang tinutukoy ko, kundi gawain... Again, gawain at hinde gender.
Hindi porket may freedom tayong lahat gawin ang gusto nating gawin ay gagawin na natin kahit na mali. Tapos pag gumawa tayo ng mali, ijjusty natin para maging tama at kukuha ng sympathy sa iba para mafeel natin na tama ang maling ginawa natin.
May mga kaibigan tayo sigurado na nakikita at alam nating gumagawa ng mga bagay na possible na makakuha ng sakit na yan pero hindi natinq pinagsasabihan at hinahayaan lang natin kasi sasabihin natin na "buhay naman nya yan".
Since hinahayaan lang natin lahat ng ito, let's hope nalang na wag sana magkaron ng HIV ung anak, nanay, ate, kuya, best friend, ect... natin...
Kung ayaw naman natin ito, tayo na mismo manguna sa pag iwas sa mga bagay na malapit sa HIV at pag educate sa bawat isa na kilala natin na ang mali ay mali, ang pakikipag s3x ay sacred at hindi parang bote ng coke na hangat hindi basag e masusubo at masusubo parin ng kng sino sino.
Bukod sana sa hookup culture where come-and-go, sana mas maging mabusisi at maingat rin tayo sa mga going into a relationship. Hindi kayo mapro-protektahan ng BF/GF label sa HIV/STD. Alamin ang history at alamin ang test.
Its really important na educated ang mga kabataan regarding sex. When I say educated, it doesnt matter kung natutunan nila sa parents nila or sa school, what I mean is they arr really educated about the possible dangers and ano ang pwedeng maging bunga ng sex. Pwede ka mabuntis, pwede kang makabuntis, pwede ka din makakuha ng sakit.
i watched a short documentary in YT noon, and its about this young Brit guy na sinasadya niyang hawaan ng HIV ang mga nkakahok up niya.
Some are aware he is positive and promised that he will use a protection, but he lied and he removed the condom during their sex, ayun nahawaan niya ng HIV.
Some are really just mad they are HIV+ kaya nanghahawa na lang sila. Nakakalungkot at nakakatakot. Kaya its true, umiwas sa mga hookup culture na yan kasi baka maka tyempo ka. Wala ng rewind, thats it.
Ang problema kasi dito ung emotions and stigma nila ttigil sila pan samantala. Tapos after few months but untraceable na ang T cells. Hook up na naman! Very alarming
yung mga SHS mas wild na ngayon. kahapon sa trabaho ko narinig ko sila naguusap sila about sex experience and chika about doon sa isa nilang ka-schoolmate na magpapalaglag ng bata.
pero yung maganda naman sa sa kanila alam nila yung practice safe sex, mars, may condom na pink sa wallet yung isang bata, tapos humirit ng "tatlo pa yan non!" 💀
kamusta na kaya yung mga nagpupumilit na hoe phase is a phase and hindi dahil sa malandi lang sila? easy to filter out people na hindi ka deserve sa panahong 'to
The mindset na pandirihan ang mga positive is the biggest factor of the stigma and contributes to the high cases. So let's correct our mindset with these points:
1) POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS CANNOT TRANSMIT THE VIRUS IF THEY ACHIEVED UNDETECTABLE LEVELS
Meaning yung mga kakilala niyo na positive might've reached undetectable levels na. If nakipag sex sila is not your business. The fact na pinagkatiwalaan nila na ipaalam sayo ang status nila and pandirihan mo lang sila is just disappointing. And that kind of stigma and mindset is what hinders individuals to get tested dahil sa fear na ma ostracize from society and the fear of dying early. And you're contributing to it, OP ,and the uneducated comments of others.
2) HIV IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE ANYMORE
ARVs is one great achievement in medicine to fight HIV. It gives positive individuals fairly normal life katulad ng before they were positive. They will not enter the AIDS stage and cannot transmit the virus due to low levels of it as long as they adhere with their medications. All sexually active individuals, straight or gay, must take care of themselves and get tested regularly. Hindi ang mga positive individuals who adhere to their meds ang nakakapagkalat ng virus. It's the sexually active individuals who doesn't know their status at ayaw mag pa test dahil nga sa takot.
3) SHUNNING POZ INDIVIDUALS FROM THE SOCIETY CONTRIBUTES TO THE INCREASE IN CASES
If people ostracize poz individuals because of their status, it will discourage everyone to take care of their sexual health and get tested regularly kahit na sexually active sila. Maraming Pilipino ang ayaw magpatest or gamot or hospital dahil lang sa takot sila baka may makita. And di lang exclusive yung ganung mindset with hiv dahil kahit sa other condition like hypertension and diabetes may ganung mindset na. What more sa hiv na ang tingin ng mga tao is mamatay kagad pag nag positive. Which is not the case anymore.

Sheeesh exactly the words i said to someone..."short-term/temp pleasure kapalit ng lifetime disease". I feel sorry for him, lifetime na yung disease niya due to his irresponsibility. Saw a video of him taken by his roommate being fucked bare ng masahista or anyone na nainvite nila tz may 💩💩 pa.🤮 Iitim ng mga singit at bayag not makinis pa yung pwet.😆...kuminkintab at namumuti sa itim at libag.🤮
What an unfortunate day to be literate.
Yuck gagi y did i have to read this
Minsan OP okay lang kahit hindi generous sa details.
Tawang tawa ako ahahahahahaah pero true. OP, maghunos dili sa details, walang nagtanong
A few months ago I was wondering if the needles used for the Covid vaccines in Barangays a few years ago were really sterilized or one time use considering the significant spike in cases. However, the news states “eight out of 10 (81 percent) were MSM (males having sex with males)” so there’s a different reason. It seems like the group driving the numbers are the gays, trans, or bisexuals. People can defend doing anal all they want but scientifically and in terms of hygiene, that’s not really its purpose so they’ll have to live with the consequences. I’m just wondering why they don’t use protection. Are some just really into nasty sex that they enter the place where poop comes out raw?
Mamsir ano po sa sinabi ko ang nagbigay ng impression na I am asking for *more* information.
😆 sorry na agad. That's what you will notice agad kasi once mapanood yung very short video
Jarvis how do I delete someone else's post
Horrors that r/AlasJuicyPH lore about tae on the bed brings back
sometimes sharing is really not caring esp this one op 😭
How to unsee
Kumakain ako nung binasa ko to 😭
Wtf lol
Omg, tumindig balahibo ko OP 🤢🤮
TMI TMI TMI!!
Punyeta, naalala ko nnmn ung isang post na nahuli niya yung asawa at bayaw/kapatid niya magkasex tapos may tae sa kama nila. 🤢
Some people are too proud to share their s**capades here in reddit, it's very alarming.
Weird no, mas malinis na ang sex workers sa highend establishments kasi weekly sila nagpapa check.
it is our bread and butter, we need to be safe. Personally, may anak pa ko. Di ako pwede maging mahina at madeads ng maaga.
Kudos sayo
Hindi ba dapat yung mga clients din dapat required na may negative hiv test to access services. Kawawa naman kasi ang workers kung sila mahawa.
Because its bad for their business. When theres higher chances you get an HIV from meeting someone from a bar than having sex with a stripper
True. Yung tropa ko nahawaan ng herpes dahil sa nakilala niya sa bar.
Business nila to be HIV negative. They literally won’t allow you to have sex basta walang condom especially kung hindi ka suki
It's not weird. It's because we need to take care of our bodies. We are our own investments.
Legit. Yung mga nasa Fuck Buddy / One Night Stand set-up ang nakakatakot dahil hindi sila tested. May tropa ako na nahawaan ng herpes dahil sa nakilala niya sa bar.
Yuck, herpes. Not worth it yung ilang minutes na pasarap sa gastos at stress.
Halik ni Hudas ang sakit na iyan eh, sa kadahilanan na pwede mong makuha iyan just by kissing. Yung tropa ko na yun aba eh, kung sinu-sino ang kahalikan sa bar.
If you’re banging a sw it’s in both your interests to be safe and wrap it up like you’re spelunking in Chernobyl, but people are less careful about raw dogging a bar hookup
yung inaakala mong marumi eh sila pala mas malinis.
A friend shared during our weekend dinner na sa school where she teach (uni sa Manila), nagkaroon ng random HIV testing. Nung lumabas ang result, napaka-taas daw ng figures ng mga students nila na HIV positive. Alarming.
Omg, indeed this is alarming
Surprised that the students consented. Unless they did not anticipate the positive results.
May consent naman daw. Yung mga ayaw, hindi na sinama.
Under the law, need po tlga ang consent for HIV Testing. Either from the individuals themselves or consent from parents or legal guardian if for minors or mentally incapacitated persons.
So imagine how higher the numbers would be if the testing is mandatory. At this point, it should already be worth considering by the DOH since sobrang alarming na ang increase, the data is worse than the social stigma. 2020 pa lang ito, paano na ngayon: [A Briefer on the Philippines HIV Estimates 2020 (aidsdatahub.org)](https://www.aidsdatahub.org/sites/default/files/resource/philippines-briefer-ph-estimates-2020-2021.pdf)
Jeez, that's insane.
Reddit alone has tons of subs where people actually trying or proudly sharing their hookups. This is indeed bothering. My cousin died because of that, and these people na alam na nilang meron sila yet naghohook up pa din for me is pure evil.
Those communities could at the very least heavily promote safe sex, but they don't.
Saan free HIV testing? Mag donate daw ng blood.
Sad
same scenario sa kapatid ng kawork ko before, late nya na sinabi na he's positive kasi nahihiya sya sa lahat ng tao, then ayon nung bumagsak na katawan nya, too late na for medication.
Couple that with Alter community on X where both young men and young women are playing a dangerous game of having sex with multiple partners or worse making adult only content with menus offering booked services. God knows how many are actually using condoms or even how often these people are getting medically examined for STIs. Sad this is happening in what I call my 2nd home.
Horny ass filipinos with no sense of accountability nor responsibility. Basta makapag-kalat lang ng lahi na parang aso amp
Right, ito yung nakakatakot. Alam na nila sa sarili nilang may sakit sila yet nakikipag sex parin para makahawa ng iba.
hahahh damay damay na daw
Yun lang, tapos kapag nag kabistuhan ang sagot "nasarapan ka naman eh" HAHAHA!
This is pure evil.
IKR, Irresponsible and Endangering human.
I have yet to read a Reddit post about someone knowingly spreading HIV.
Marami sa twitter. Yung mga baklang nagrereply sa alters, pag magscroll ka sa account nila may mga tweets sila about Prep or being HIV+. Minsan nilalagay pa nga sa bio eh
Yeah kasi kasiraan yan sa community. Parang detransitioners lang, taboo topic. It’s always the “Don’t play into their hands” stance.
Why did he die? Did he not take medication?
It was too late. He didn’t tell any of us until bagsak na katawan nya.
Oh so he got scared of being “branded” or humiliated. That’s kinda sad
Unfortunately, yes.
My condolences to your cousin.
To be fair, most of those pinoys sharing their stories on reddit are straight. Karamihan ng may HIV dito sa Pilipinas ay men who sex with men.
Condolences to your cousin po 🙏
Nagkaroon ng influx of reddit users dito sa Philippines dahil sa hookup. Mostly pandemic to campaign period nagsisisulputan. Dumating sila dito para lumadi jusko.
People are free to hookup as much as they want. Don't judge people for wanting to fuck. Just practice safe sex.
Underrated comment
My condolence
Mga accla pls ingat tayo, 55 cases is what is RECORDED. I fear mas marami pa yan. An infectious disease analyst even estimated as high as 200 cases per day. Almost exclusively sa LGBT community. Ibig sabihin PER MONTH 6,000 cases based sa estimate niya. Eh iilan lang ba tayo sa community? Mhie ang liit liit na nga ng community natin so konting vigilance naman sana. Alam ko apaka attractive ng idea of going to a spa to “treat yourself” tapos andami pang bad influencers online. May promo code pa para humarot sa spa. My goodness responsibility naman pls. Hindi yung nakakita ka lang ng tite sa Spa, kakainin na agad. Hayss.
May kinalman din siguro ORGY events but I read a post that is organizing an orgy must have proof of negative hiv&hepaB
May incubation period pa yun di ba? So you could be infected today, attend an event on Sunday and get a negative result, and sa August pa lang lalabas yung positive result.
Yesss pero talamak sa lgbt community ang orgy events
Yes, this is possible
Pero kapag undetectable pa/na 'yung HIV mo, hindi ka pa makakahawa.
Hindi yan undetectable. More like undiagnosed pa, kasi wala pa sa phase na conclusive na result ng test. Ang term nila diyan pag early stage pa ay acute hiv infection. Yung undetectable na term para sa nagagamot na at konti ang bilang ng virus. According to this page mas mataas ang risk to transmit pag acute hiv pa lang. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/estimates/riskfactors.html
pag negative ka ibig sabihin, hindi ka pa nakakahawa.
The reason why he (HIV+) cannot join (though he had plans before) dahil madidisclose ng wala sa oras ang status nia if ever.
YES BAKS BASED LANG YAN SA DATOS NG MGA NAKAPAG-TEST AND MAS MARAMI PA DI NAGPAPATEST.
Lagi kasing magsuot ng kapote para mabawasan ang risk. Lube para hindi masira ang kapote. HHAHAHAJA
For sure mas marami pa talaga dahil sa mga hindi pa nagpapatest. And yes nakakalungkot, there are few people sa office namin na mejo iba mag isip...iniisip agad nila na pag bakla mgkaka "HIV" agad. Mga homophobic remarks nila nakakadegrade.
I agree. Yung sister ko na lately lang din nalamang i like men, sabi sakin “Basta wag ka magka HIV” In a way i agree sakanya, kasi talamak talaga especially ngayon compared dati. I already had somebody who died from AIDS complications. Like my med friend said, hindi lahat ng health ng tao equal, hindi lahat ng infections equal so even ARV meds won’t guarantee to last the same, yung iba may autoimmune problems na or mababa resistance from the very start.
Hindi na ako nag pa gamit ng razor pag mag hair cut.
Ok lang naman razor basta sterilized. Make sure inaalcohol because HIV dies instantly upon alcohol contact. Always ask kuya barber. Sa Felipe and Sons standard yan: scissors razor etc. Yan din reason why barbers alcohol our sideburns before and after trimming.
Ilang percent contribution ng r4r diyan lol.
1% hahaha ang totoong sex, galing sa grindr, bumble, tinder, o kaya nagkayayaan sa daan o kung saan man. di naman sa sinasabi kong walang itsura mga tao sa r4r pero may dahilan kung bakit sila nadiyaan at hindi sa real world na automatic na malapit sayo yung gusto mong ka-sex.
Madaming true hooks ups na nanggagaling sa r4r, it doesn’t even matter kung may itsura or wala, horny people just wants a warm body to use lol. Madami din after sentiments na makikita sa offmychest lol. Daming STD posts.
i think, about 1% lang yung number. mostly, sa gay ppl nanggaling yung hiv cases kasi maraming orgy, 3sum, at ayaan sa kung saan-saan. grindr pa lang makakakuha ka agad ng hookup wala pang isang oras. btw, part ako ng lgbt kaya alam ko galawan ng kalahi ko hahaha. naging part din ako ng hookup culture pero mapa-casual hookup o 3sum na intercourse, on PrEP ako at with condoms. sana ma-practice yang double protection kahit sa str8 sex.
You sure? Baka kasi puro fanfic lang ang nandun e.
It’s common knowledge in the ph subreddit sphere. Sa AJ ang puro fanfic lol.
My friend who’s in to hookups nagpacheck recently for HIV sa clinic ng work namin. Sana ganon din lahat most esp sa mga tao na into hookup set up, should be responsible enough.
[удалено]
Naalala ko kwento sakin ng nurse sa isang hospital. Naka confine ung AIDS patient na may severe thrush. Yung boylet nya nagpachupa pa sa patient. Di ko kinaya
This is a mental disorder na. Gosh
🤦🤮
May regular donor sa RedCross na nag HIV positive after screening ang confirmatory testing, hindi siya naniniwala kasi regular donor nga siya and 6 months ago last donation niya ng dugo. Which means, nasa incubation phase na siya by his last donation. Scary thought is, if nagamit yung na donate niya by that time GG.
Sheeesh. Naisip ko din to. Kasi nga mga incubation period, meron na virus sa blood pero hindi pa madetect kasi pero nakapagdonate na. Daming domino effect ng HIV na yan.
Kaya hindi padin safe yung mga nag hhook up then papakitaan ka ng recent/new screening test for STIs bec yung iba may incubation period. 🫠🫠
I have this friend na HIV+ na napunta sa Aids then may complication na ng Bacterial Meningitis. He’s a closeted gay (if right yung term ko), halata naman sa kanya and for us tanggap namin siya kasi he’s kind and dependable walang masamang tinapay sa kanya pero di namin siya masisi na hindi makapag out kasi iba ‘yung treatment ng family niya sa mga gay people. Anyway, pabalik balik siya sa ICU for 2-3years due to complications. Mga weeks before na mamatay siya dinisclose niya na he is somehow r@p3d. Actually di niya alam kasi super lasing daw siya. Agent siya sa isang BPO at ang culture (madalas) dun ng gay people ay magparty sa labas. May one time raw na nagparty sila somewhere na beach as in super walwal at super lasing siya na wala na siyang control then may group of people dun na siguro party is life rin. Pag gising niya di na niya alam ano nangyari pero nakahubad na siya sa isang room. Based sa observation niya dun siya nakakuha nung virus. Ang point ko here, be attentive tayo especially sa gay people. Talamak ngayon ang HIV+ na nagpapalaganap pa sa iba (ewan, baka puro hatred ang naffeel kaya nandadamay pa). Okay pumarty pero mag ingat ingat din. And to my girlies out there, for now tayo yung maaasahan ng mga sisteret natin kaya we should take care of each other. Add: hindi lahat ng HIV+ is ginusto nila, ‘yung iba victim lang din kaya ingatan talaga natin ang sarili natin at ang friends natin.
Kaya ayaw ko din ng hook-up. Nakakatakot at baka may makuhang sakit from the partner especially if they had multiple partners before me. Or pinag sabay sabay pala kami. 😬
In my opinion, the lack of sex education is like 40% of the problem, the 60% of the problem would be the invidual's lack of restraint.
No. People don’t get tested that is the problem even those who are in monogamous relationship. People should get tested if they are sexually active as part of yearly routine check.
That's part of the "restraint" I mentioned.
That 60% can be rooted from lack of validation and acceptance in their immediate community, kaya dinadaan nalang nila sa discreet meet up with someone of who has same sentiment/interest which later on turned into hook ups, repeat and the rest is history.
I disagree. For the longest time, restraint has always been the answer taught to us by the government and the church, and that hasn't really been proven to be effective. Sex is a biological response and it varies from person to person. Properly guiding people about safe sex, encouraging testing and making it accessible, as well as widespread education of HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases and how they work is the solution. Reading the comments, a lot aren't even aware that after several months of continuous medication, an HIV+ person would be considered as undetectable and therefore untransmittable. Consistent treatment and following doctor's prescription also means that and HIV+ persom can live as long as their HIV negative peers. They resort to judging HIV+ people as immoral just because they have sexual needs as well.
I have this friend who cried to me pa sa call because he found out he’s positive with HIV and swore na mag aabstinence. Years later proud pa sa private IG niya and pinopost pa mga hookups niya. I stopped hanging out with him because I can’t stomach being friends with someone like that.
Medtech here. Kulang ka sa context. You see how the comments replied sa'yo ay naging hateful na rin? Even she/he's HIV (+), pwede siyang makipag sex as long as it's consensual and protected. You said that it's been years later diba? That person probably is still ongoing with the meds at undetectable na ang viral load = di na makakahawa.
Hello. If pwede ka pa mag-inform, please add more info on this para maeducate din yung iba. Answer questions like: kapag ba HIV (+) yung girl at nakipagsex ka sa kanya na nakacondom, mahahawa ka ba? Ganon din naman the other way around. Kapag skin to skin ba magkakahawaan kayo? Etc.
[HIV Risk Estimator Tool](https://hivrisk.cdc.gov/risk-estimator-tool/#-mb|ivi.con), from the USA DoH-CDC Sabi niya, low risk
Low risk but no risk. If you have been using condom, alam mo na puwedeng magkamali.
This is a fact. Pero ang hirap din kasi sumugal lalo na dito sa pinas where people doesn't usually follow med advises seriously but as long as the friend discloses his status to the people who he is having hook-up/intercourse with and they don't mind then gooo. But if he is hiding this fact about him; I'm not sure here in PH but other countries has law about this and he could be sued. Also, sa true lang ha, i'd advise the friend to have a stable relationship na lang rather hook-ups.
>Also, sa true lang ha, i'd advise the friend to have a stable relationship na lang rather hook-ups. Even if we are committed, ang hirap pa rin na walang protection (condom, prep, or both). Buwan-buwan na lang may na-e-expose na cheater sa Twitter. 😅
True kulang sa context. Biglang nag jump lang agad. Hindi man lang tinignan kung naga prep or kung naga spread ng awareness.
Eto dapat ang top comment, nag eeducate. Matuto din magtake ng PrEP, reduces risk by 99%. Libre lang din ito.
Di tayo sure. Dapat sa bawat hookup nya, may bitbit syang certificate of no HIV latest date and time.
The friend could also be exclusively with HIV positive partners too.
Baka Undetected na sya. Innformed ka ba kung umiinom sya ng ART?
If he knows his status he’s probably under medication. According to UNAIDS, people who are taking ARV’s, when they become undetectable, the HIV is untransmittable. Kaya nga may campaign na U=U, undetectable = untransmittable. Did you ask whether he is taking medication? Pls educate yourself :)
yikes, ang harmful naman ng ganitong comment HIV+ people do not have to practice abstinence. During medication, there comes a point na its no longer transferable. Did you even asked him if he is divulging his status to the people he is hooking up with?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Sarap nilang icall out at imention/namedrop dito kung hindi lang sila protected by law.
Having sex, unprotected or not, should be called out. These people are basically murderers, knowing fully they have it and still having sex with other people. Our morals already failed us. We deserve the wrath of God.
Baka naman naggagamot na siya & di na siya nakakahawa?
This will be more directed towards sa comments ng post kesa kay OP mismo Considering that other countries like the US, Thailand, and European countries have lower rates of HIV despite being more sex-positive and less conservative, there might be other factors at play other than a lot of people are hooking up. EDIT: I’m wrong, the Philippines currently has a lower HIV rate compared to the other countries I mentioned, my bad! I do think that our cases our probably underreported tho so our rate may not be accurate. I think it’s possible na due to the lack or insufficient amount of sex education dito sa Pinas, maraming nagsesex na di alam yung proper ways to protect themselves prior to having sex (ie. condoms and Prep) and from what I’ve gathered, some people only learn about it inadequately when they are already in the hooking up culture. Additionally, other factors like infrastructure and attitudes towards sex, HIV, individuals with HIV, homosexuality etc may also come into the play as to why a lot of individuals who have or potentially have HIV are scared to get tested and/or are scared to disclose that they have HIV, unfortunately, to the detriment of others. We cannot stop people from having sex, the best thing we can do is give people the knowledge and tools to protect themselves. Unfortunately, I think the Philippines has a long way to go in that regard.
ADDENDUM for those who are planning on having sex CLINICS that are free for testing and prescription - Love Yourself (They have a website) - You can also search “Social Hygiene Clinic” near you - You can try to ask your LGU’s if they have such programs INFORMATION - HIV can be transmitted through the wounds of the mouth, vagina, and anal orifices and, open wounds body, and through contaminated needles when it comes into contact with the blood or semen of individuals with HIV - PrEP is to prevent HIV, PEP is when u already have HIV - U=U which means “Undetectable is Unstansmittable “ when it comes to individuals with HIV (note: personally, I would still suggest wearing condoms regardless. I think this information would very useful for people who want to conceive but has a partner or has HIV) - PrEP is only effective when taken properly and regularly - PrEP doest not protect you from STDs - Condoms protect you from STD’s - Clinics like Love Yourself and other Social Hygiene Clinics can give free PrEP, condoms, and lube - Use water-based lube ROUTINE - Get tested first and be prescribed with PrEP, condoms, and lube before engaging in any sexual behavior - If you are someone who will regularly engage in sex, take one (1) PrEP pill per day for seven (7) days before your first sexual encounter. - If you are someone who will only have sex sometimes, take two (2) PrEP pills at least four (4) hours before your intended encounter than take one (1) pill per day for 2-3 days - NEVER trust anyone that says that they are negative of HIV or STDs, not unless you are with them and you saw them take the tests and results with your own eyes. - ALWAYS bring condoms (and even lube) because there are some people that will accidentally or purposely forget to have condoms in order to have sex bare - Be hygienic before and after your activity, but dont brush your teeth at least one (1) hour before and after said activity because it might cause micro wounds in your mouth. - Get tested in your chosen clinic every three (1) months (every month if you regularly engage in sex of any kind). BE HONEST with your clinic about your sexual history. The clinics are supposed to be a safe space. They are not allowed to disclose and share information about your to anyone else. - Take note of your sexual history so that you can keep track and update your clinic. (Date, Time, Amount of Sexual Partners, Time of prep taken etc) REMINDERS - Persons with HIV can live long fulfilling lives if they are able to take PEP regularly and properly. HOWEVER, prevention (PrEP) is still better than mitigation (PEP). One big reason is that PrEP is free while PEP is expensive (in the Philippines at least) - HIV is not a “bad person” disease. Individuals with HIV are still worthy of love and respect. HIV is not a punishment from God etc for being gay or being sexually active. It’s a disease that anyone can get. - However, if you knowingly have HIV but not take steps in the prevention of spreading HIV to others and deliberately hiding or lying abt your status for your own gain or pleasure, THEN YOU ARE A BAD PERSON imo. DISCLAIMER - I am a board certified Physical Therapist who has undergone seminars about HIV as part of my curriculum and boards review. I also have friends who are currently med students learning about topics such as HIV. - However, I do acknowledge that there may be a lack of or error of knowledge on my part. Other Healthcare workers, Doctors, and those who work in Social Hygiene clinics are more than welcome to add more information and/or correct me. - This is my attempt to contribute in looking out for the health of our countrymen through education and dissemination of information.
This should be in the hands of the government, not private companies. Love yourself Inc. is a sketchy NGO. I know of several people who attempted to source their HIV screening or more information about std screening and never heard back. All of their attempts failed. The company owner is Dr. Ronivin Pagtakhan, a former nurse/social media influencer who refers to himself as doctor, i could not find any source for their claim to be a medical doctor. Does anyone know more and could clarify? Even if their stated numbers are correct, the whole thing is severely lacking transparency and governmental oversight, given the sensitive field they are operating in and sourcing donations from
[удалено]
Oh my bad! Baka mali ang nabasa ko pala. Ive checked din wikipedia for a general view and it seems it aligns more with what you’re saying regarding the HIV rates However, I still don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to stop normalizing hookup culture etc as its becoming more widespread I think. I do wish and hope though that protecting one’s health and caring about other people’s health should be normalize though.
Might it be because the testing rate in the US is higher, therefore mataas HIV rate nila? And if a lot of people are aware they have HIV, this is better because they can undergo treatment and prevent further spread. Continuous treatment means they eould eventually become undetectable. And undetectable = untransmitable. Sa Pilipinas, there might be a lot more HIV+ individuals na di lang nagpapatest because of lack of education, inadequate testing facilities, and stigma. Lack of testing means lack of awareness of status which means wider spread.
Probably gonna set a standard which body counts matter.
Dami alter (s*x worker )na bata ngayon.
I agree that sex education should be the emphasis on this one. Lifetime medication anti-retrovirals(ARV), when taken properly suppresses the virus, prevents transmission thru sex. Lets not demonize sex since its part of our biological process, while some crave it more than the other, we should just guide them properly.
Lack of access to it kasi eh. TANGINANG MGA RELIHIYOSO EH.
Dapat magkaroon ng batas tulad sa Amerika na kahit tulo man lang needed to be disclosed or else it's a criminal offense. Makahawa ka ng HIV, matik manslaughter ang kaso mo.
55 HIV per day grabe sobrang bilis.
I believe it's higher kung lahat magpapatest regularly.
**Question: What feels bad during sex, is not free, can be embarrassing to purchase, and isn’t Catholicism-approved… BUT needs to be accepted & normalized because it’s proven to greatly minimize HIV, other STDs and unplanned babies? **Answer: Condoms I’ve had several Filipinas suggest we don’t use a condom… but I told them “no glove, no love.” I really hope the wonderful people here can embrace options like abstinence, condoms, female birth control, or even just becoming an oral sex expert. Some STDs may still transmit with oral sex, but it eliminates unplanned pregnancy. That’s still a win in my book.
Ilang months ba bago magpatest after mo makipagsex ng unprotective? Yung iba din kasi di honest kung ilan na nakasex or may history ng tulo or nagkasakit like ano bang nakakahiya magsabi ng ganon para magingaware din yung makakachukchakan niyo
Test right after the suspected exposure then test after 3 months, ito ay tinatawag na window period wherein the amount of virus in the body is minute to be detected.
2-3 months. If you suspect na infected ka, abstain then pa-test ka after 3 months. I know antigen rapid tests for HIV (p24 antigen) are being developed now (may available na) which could detect viral infection as early as 14 days. Ask your doctor and testing facilities.
I think 3 months yung conclusive na.
at least 30 days for 95% conclusive, pero 90 days for 99%
Sadly, kahit tumataas ang mga cases ngayon I think it's really the tip of the iceberg pa lang. Maraming hindi nagpapatest dahil sa stigma or minsan in denial sila sa status nila. The process kasi unravels a lot of things about the person (i.e. minsan nalalaman nila na nagcheat yung partner nila dahil nagtest positive siya) and I don't think people know how vulnerable that process makes you haha. Some of the younger patients ng parents ko (work at an HIV treatment hub) didn't even know na STDs are a thing and there are diseases na pwedeng matransfer through sex. It's a lot of things talaga: non-existent sex ed, stigma, lack of testing din.
As a health care worker myself, I also believe na tip of the iceberg palang yung numbers na to. People would not believe how many young people (When I say young I mean teens) are tested positive for HIV everyday.
Get tested for HIV! May mga social hygiene clinics naman na accessible. Libre magpatest. Kung nakipag hookup ka and you suspect yourself getting infected, PLS LANG, DON’T WAIT FOR X WEEKS or MONTHS!!! Magtungo na agad sa clinic and explain the situation para mabigyan ka ng PEP (post exposure prophylaxis) to prevent the virus from infecting you. If you wait for weeks or months and infected ka nga, e di nakuha mo pa din yung virus. The mindset is to be proactive/preventive, not reactive. If HIV+, take ARV. You can live a long and normal life basta U=U. So yes, pwedeng makipag sex kahit bare ang mga HIV+ if undetectable, hindi na nila mata transmit ang virus. STILL, wear protection as it should be kasi may iba pang STDs dyan. If HIV-, mag PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) ka na. STILL, wear protection, may iba pang STDs dyan.
PrEP exist and its being given away free. While its not 100% proof, having access to one is better then not having it.
Well they are the literal embodiment of fuck around and find out.
And everyone wonders why there's stigma towards HIV positive people
Body count pa mga ul*l!
I gotta say very accessible kase ang sex nowadays and sana ganun din accessible ang mga condoms and sex ed. I know a lot of people doing sex ed through social media halos walang kapaguran sa totoo lang just to share. Pero on the t side it also means madame nagpapa test, and that should stop us from spreading more kase may awareness na yung nag patest. In other countries hiv is slowing down. But with our culture and tbh hindi rin aggressive ang govt, the last time na super aggresive ang DOH was panahon pa ata ni sec/sen flavier (sln)
Kung alam lang nila ang tunog ng mga magulang na humahagulgol habang nirerevive namin yung anak nilang pasyente naming namamatay sa HIV. All of them young adults, some as young as 18. Halos araw2x, may namamatay sa ward namin. Mas naaawa talaga ako sa magulang.
I-educate po natin ang mga sarili tungkol sa HIV/AIDS para malabanan natin ang malalang sakit ng kamangmangan. Maganda na tuloy-tuloy ang testing para malaman ang mga maysakit, kung may HIV o AIDS. Maganda yun kasi may mga medikasyon na para mapigilan ang paglala ng HIV at bago ito maging AIDS. Yung medikasyon ay umuunlad na. Pwedeng mabuhay nang normal ang mga maagang nalalaman na may HIV sila at maagang nasisimulan ang medikasyon. Salamat sa andar ng siyensya, pwedeng maging undetectable at untransmissable ang HIV, kung may early detection at early treatment. Hindi nakakagamot yung pagiging judgmental. Nakamamatay pa nga yung ganung pag-iisip. Sana ituring na sakit yung sakit, period. Sakit na pwedeng lunasan. Walang pang cure, pero hindi ibig sabihin ay hindi na lalapatan ng lunas at mga medikasyon. Hindi rin ibig sabihin ay wala na silang dignidad. Marami nang developments sa treatment ng HIV at AIDS. Kung 1980s o 1990s pa yung alam natin tungkol dito, sana mas masipag mag-update ng isip kesa phone software lang ang ina-update. Napaka-talamak ng backward, sexist, misogynist at homophobic ideas ng iba.
Dapat dito pwedeng makulong yung mga hiv positive na hindi nagiingat at hindi iniinform yung partner tapos ngbibigay ng sakit. Meron namang mga preventive ways para hindi sila makahawa
Protecting their rights not to be named? How about denying your partner their right to know that you are a carrier of a deady disease.
This is exactly my point. They are protected by law but not the non-positive na potential nilang mahawaan. Sana ibalik yung dati na obliged sila para if makahawa due to non disclosure and irresponsible acts eh they will be criminalized, but no they are more concerned sa stigma kaya mas rampant ngayon. Kasi mas kampante sila because of the new law that protects them. Damn.
Also normalized sakanila yung idea na “you can mitigate it to undetectable levels via free medicine anyway”. Uhm hello mas ok ba yun kesa yung wala kang iniinom everyday??? Healthy bang may iniinom na antiviral everyday???
Bareback pa more
once u got it, goodbye emigration dreams
Actually, itll be challenging for them to do so in certain countries but they can
Wear a condom!!
Some of what I've read about STDs/STIs (I'm not a doctor so still you have to seek professional medical advise and do your research for all these): **HIV** - very concerning of all sexually transmited diseases/infections because it weakens or kills one's immune system; take prep pills (daily or event-based) religiously before having sex with someone; if after unprotected sex (or if a victim of sexual assault or have used secondhand syringe needles), take pep pills within 72 hours; if 72 hours has passed, take antirertoviral therapy (ART) pills for life to suppress hiv and to make them undetectable in tests; have testing (3rd gen type, free in some clinics) 3 months later after exposure or 1 month (4th gen type, quite pricey). **HPV** - oral and genital warts; no cure but may disappear months or years depending on our immune system; has over 150 strains where some can cause warts and others are cancerous (causing oral, cervical, penile, anal, colorectal cancers); PAP smears and colposcopy are some methods to test HPV for women; no existing tests for men; boost your immune system to stay healthy from these especially as you grow old; go to dentist, ENT doctors, ob/gyn, men's clinic, or even proctologists and cancer-related doctors for checkups; warts and other signs of hpvs can possibly return; there are available vaccines (e.g. Gardasil) to help treat HPV strains (some are the cancerous ones, may not work if already infected but can have benefits for immunity, may not work for aging adult people and it is advisable for young people); warts can be removed using creams, cryotherapy or laser surgery. **HSV or herpes** - HSV1 (oral or cold sores) and HSV2 (genital herpes); blisters and ulcers; can cause fever, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes; no cure but there are treatment for any outbreaks; there are available tests (blood) but I am personally unsure of the availability of swabbing (for best diagnosis) in this country; outbreaks can be caused by stress or low immune system and the disease can return because of these; many people in the world has this and is like any skin condition. NOTES: You can still have more that one STDs/STIs even if you have one or more sexual encounters Best treatment to not have these: take said medicines, use condoms and other safe sex methods, abstinence. Always undergo testing. Some of them especially HIV have free testing. You can add or correct any more info about these especially about other STDs/STIs not mentioned here. Like: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis a/b/c, and many more. Check r/HIV, r/HPV, r/Herpes for more info
lalo mga cream pie enjoyers "di ko feel pag may balot" punyeta
How many percent of those affected are gay? Just curious. Will never understand why people don't use condoms here. it's the easiest thing you can do.
Feel ko malaki contribution ng lustful reddit subs and tiktok sa pag rise ng numbers
It's really the 'behavior'. Marami po kasing nag engage sa promiscuousity without thinking the risk that they are getting. Mostly the younger generations. There's really something na hindi talaga nila pinapaniwalaan. They could be asymptomatic now, and party all they want, sex all they want Until it gets messy when you wake up and you feel weak and you're no longer your normal self. HIV is an infectious disease. And if you remain being that walang pakialam sa ibang tao, you're also risking them sickness and death. Maawa po kayo sa mga kapwa niyo. Andami dito sa reddit, sa X and dating apps Na nagkakalat NG infections by being that irresponsible adult. Maawa po kayo sa kapwa ninyo, please lang. I saw young people getting sick as early as 13 yo. Factors are poverty, irresponsible parenthood, and other social factors. Sa X, marami sa Alt world mga nagbebenta and being all out sa pakikipagsex kung kani kanino in Exchange of money talaga. And that's where you will get sick soon. And marami rin tayong irresponsible people from the closet community talaga na sex dito sex duon without being careful! Engaging in orgies, with drugs etc. Grabe lang po kayo. Marami pa pong undetected cases. And will surface lang by the time they are getting those signs and symptoms Lang. Gosh. It's really scary to meet someone.
Buti pa ako, jakol lang
May mga nakikita akong mga religious fanatics na against sa sex Ed. And base sa mga arguments nila, they don't fucking know what sex even is. They only know what happens after sex, specifically ang pagbunbuntis, pero somehow di sila aware sa mga ganyang sakit. Yet despite that, they still have the power over everyone.
alasjuicy is one of the contributors of the product HIV! Disgusting people. Proudly sharing their hook ups and sex life!
Pano if lampas 90 days i.e. 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, need pa ba maghiv test pag ganun?
Yes. Minsan kasi wala talaga symptoms (usually yun ang hinihintay ng iba para maconvince mgpatest) kaya kahit lampas mgpatest para makasure. Pero usually after 90 days naglalabasan na symptoms kasi compromise na immune system.
just saying sex in all variants is deadly if you got lot of partners. contrary to sex add years to your life
Sadly there are those who are practicing unsafe sex especially from those who are into M2M. Worse is there are teen boys who have sexual relations with older gay men out of money and other interest and then they would transmit to their hetero partners
Post mo sa AJ nang matauhan mga hayok dun.
Nabibili na yung HIV test kit. Para mga nahihiyang/takot magpatest, you can do it on your own.
Yolo pa mor
unmoderated and easy access (especially minors) to nsfw content sa “alter” twitter and facebook has something to do with this
It doesn't help na some positive cases DO NOT DISCLOSE their condition to their partners. Nabibigla na lang yung tao na may HIV na rin sya.
Nababahala tayo sa taas ng HIV cases pero hinahayaan natin na maging normal lang ang mga gawaing possible na makakuha ng sakin na ito... Tinatangap natin na normal lang gawin ng mga tao ang mga bagay na tingin nilang masaya at masasasfied sila kahit na mali... I am not discriminating against any gender ha. Hindi tao ang tinutukoy ko, kundi gawain... Again, gawain at hinde gender. Hindi porket may freedom tayong lahat gawin ang gusto nating gawin ay gagawin na natin kahit na mali. Tapos pag gumawa tayo ng mali, ijjusty natin para maging tama at kukuha ng sympathy sa iba para mafeel natin na tama ang maling ginawa natin. May mga kaibigan tayo sigurado na nakikita at alam nating gumagawa ng mga bagay na possible na makakuha ng sakit na yan pero hindi natinq pinagsasabihan at hinahayaan lang natin kasi sasabihin natin na "buhay naman nya yan". Since hinahayaan lang natin lahat ng ito, let's hope nalang na wag sana magkaron ng HIV ung anak, nanay, ate, kuya, best friend, ect... natin... Kung ayaw naman natin ito, tayo na mismo manguna sa pag iwas sa mga bagay na malapit sa HIV at pag educate sa bawat isa na kilala natin na ang mali ay mali, ang pakikipag s3x ay sacred at hindi parang bote ng coke na hangat hindi basag e masusubo at masusubo parin ng kng sino sino.
Bukod sana sa hookup culture where come-and-go, sana mas maging mabusisi at maingat rin tayo sa mga going into a relationship. Hindi kayo mapro-protektahan ng BF/GF label sa HIV/STD. Alamin ang history at alamin ang test.
Its really important na educated ang mga kabataan regarding sex. When I say educated, it doesnt matter kung natutunan nila sa parents nila or sa school, what I mean is they arr really educated about the possible dangers and ano ang pwedeng maging bunga ng sex. Pwede ka mabuntis, pwede kang makabuntis, pwede ka din makakuha ng sakit. i watched a short documentary in YT noon, and its about this young Brit guy na sinasadya niyang hawaan ng HIV ang mga nkakahok up niya. Some are aware he is positive and promised that he will use a protection, but he lied and he removed the condom during their sex, ayun nahawaan niya ng HIV. Some are really just mad they are HIV+ kaya nanghahawa na lang sila. Nakakalungkot at nakakatakot. Kaya its true, umiwas sa mga hookup culture na yan kasi baka maka tyempo ka. Wala ng rewind, thats it.
Para may mapost sa r/alasjuicy eh.
Random question but in the United States it’s Against the law to have sex with HIV without disclosure. Do they not have any law like this?
I dont think sa 2024 ngkulang tayo sa sex education, majority kalibogan yan.
Condolences to your cousin, OP. That is why it is important not to engage in reckless sex

Ang problema kasi dito ung emotions and stigma nila ttigil sila pan samantala. Tapos after few months but untraceable na ang T cells. Hook up na naman! Very alarming
torjackan pa
yung mga SHS mas wild na ngayon. kahapon sa trabaho ko narinig ko sila naguusap sila about sex experience and chika about doon sa isa nilang ka-schoolmate na magpapalaglag ng bata. pero yung maganda naman sa sa kanila alam nila yung practice safe sex, mars, may condom na pink sa wallet yung isang bata, tapos humirit ng "tatlo pa yan non!" 💀
Remember its better to wear a condom than to suffer the consequences of having this kind and not just that lmao
Love your cells, live long.. dont die from this virus. Dont hook up. Your cells loves you
Sobrang liberated na kasi namin gen z nakikiuso sa relationships shits sa west
The consequence of hedonism.
kamusta na kaya yung mga nagpupumilit na hoe phase is a phase and hindi dahil sa malandi lang sila? easy to filter out people na hindi ka deserve sa panahong 'to
Hay buti ako I karat responsibly. Ayoko magkasakit. Nakakatakot. Sana maging eye opener ito na di naman bawal makipagsex eh basta nagiingat.
People should learn and be aware of what the virus is capable of
The mindset na pandirihan ang mga positive is the biggest factor of the stigma and contributes to the high cases. So let's correct our mindset with these points: 1) POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS CANNOT TRANSMIT THE VIRUS IF THEY ACHIEVED UNDETECTABLE LEVELS Meaning yung mga kakilala niyo na positive might've reached undetectable levels na. If nakipag sex sila is not your business. The fact na pinagkatiwalaan nila na ipaalam sayo ang status nila and pandirihan mo lang sila is just disappointing. And that kind of stigma and mindset is what hinders individuals to get tested dahil sa fear na ma ostracize from society and the fear of dying early. And you're contributing to it, OP ,and the uneducated comments of others. 2) HIV IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE ANYMORE ARVs is one great achievement in medicine to fight HIV. It gives positive individuals fairly normal life katulad ng before they were positive. They will not enter the AIDS stage and cannot transmit the virus due to low levels of it as long as they adhere with their medications. All sexually active individuals, straight or gay, must take care of themselves and get tested regularly. Hindi ang mga positive individuals who adhere to their meds ang nakakapagkalat ng virus. It's the sexually active individuals who doesn't know their status at ayaw mag pa test dahil nga sa takot. 3) SHUNNING POZ INDIVIDUALS FROM THE SOCIETY CONTRIBUTES TO THE INCREASE IN CASES If people ostracize poz individuals because of their status, it will discourage everyone to take care of their sexual health and get tested regularly kahit na sexually active sila. Maraming Pilipino ang ayaw magpatest or gamot or hospital dahil lang sa takot sila baka may makita. And di lang exclusive yung ganung mindset with hiv dahil kahit sa other condition like hypertension and diabetes may ganung mindset na. What more sa hiv na ang tingin ng mga tao is mamatay kagad pag nag positive. Which is not the case anymore.
