Syphilis can go undetected

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease.  It is usually transmitted through sexual intercourse.  Like HIV, if you get the virus it does not immediately manifest itself.  You just don't know you had it until months later sores appear around your body.  The only way to verify if you have the virus is through blood screening or get a tissue tested.

Aside from syphilis, there is also gonorreah, hepatitis, HIV and more.  That is why people are advised to practice safe sex!  Use condoms often!

AIDS monument in Hong Kong

In my last visit to Hong Kong, I was finally able to roam around Tsim Sa Tsui area and visit Kowloon Park.  It was a nice park, well landscaped and clean.   Tucked in the park corner, I saw a familiar figure.  It was a sculpture done by Hong Kong artist Van Lau and was named the "Ribbon".  It was basically dedicated to the fight against HIV AIDS.

The ribbons were shaped in the small letter L ( ℓ ) which stands for "Love", the international symbol of love and concern to people with HIV AIDS.  The two ribbons intertwine to form a heart shape and binding us together in the fight against the spread of HIV AIDS around the world.

It is such a moving sculpture that I hope other cities around the world would do the same.  

Again, I appeal to everyone to join me in this fight against HIV AIDS and practice safe sex.

Man with HIV donating blood in CDO

A man infected with HIV has been donating blood all over Cagayan de Oro City.  What is more alarming, this person is donating blood every month to the National Red Cross Blood Bank. 

Based on records, this person has been using fictitious personal information and could not be tracked down.

The City Council has already requested the assistance of the police and NBI to track down this person immediately as he is a health hazard to the city.

FDA panel backs first pill to block HIV infection

HIV cure has gone a long way.  More HIV+ people are now getting needed medical care.  However HIV care is still quite expensive.  In the US, you spend around 1,000 US Dollars or 43,000 Pesos a month for HIV medicines.  In the Philippines, it might cost more because of taxes.

So if you earn more than 50,000 Pesos a month, then you can probably afford to be more reckless in your sexual activities but if you earn like a minimum wage, then think twice of your actions.

Low use of condoms blamed on HIV AIDS rise

Filipinos has never been fond of using condoms.  Look at our population right now, Filipinos are giving birth like rabbits.
 

Most Filipino men find condoms uncomfortable.  Well, you have to find the correct condom that fits you.  Alangan mag suot kag sapatos nga huot.  Condoms do have sizes.  For those who have smaller girths (dick circumference), buy Trust or Frenzy.  For those with a bigger girth, buy Premier.  Also before placing the condom, apply water based lubricants to make your penis more sensitive.  See DiscreetBai article on Condom Use at http://www.discreetbai.com/p/condom-use_24.html
 

Then we also have the issue of people too embarrassed to buy condoms.  It is not commonly done so buying a condom can be an uncomfortable experience.  Aside from this, it can be a bit expensive.  For a poor family, buying a condom is a luxury not a necessity.

Condoms do help minimize HIV AIDS infection.  It is a reality that we have to face now in the Philippines.  Filipinos will have to learn soon to use condoms or else we might surpass Thailand in terms of HIV AIDS infections.
