By Mark Angello C. Ganon
Hey you! Yes, you! Want to know your HIV status in a quick, costless, and confidential HIV screening process? Come and join the HOT DOCTORS of ‘PINAS in this year’s second wave of the National HIV Testing Day on November 24, 2018. You read that right! We might not have the hot doctor of Instagram, Dr. Mike, but we can’t help but #lovelocal when our own Hot Doctors of Pinas are there to aid us in taking charge of our sexual health. Sign up now!
The Hot Doctors of ‘Pinas event follows the success of This is Me: Brave and Free, the country’s first community-based, multi-site HIV testing event which has catered to more than 700 clients nationwide. This year, LoveYourself has partnered with 10 other Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) manning 15 different testing sites. Yes, that’s 15 different locations to choose from in 14 different cities across the country.
In Metro Manila, we have LoveYourself Anglo at Mandaluyong, LoveYourself, Inc. at Taguig, HASH - HIV & AIDS Support House, Inc, at Quezon City, LoveYourself Welcome and Pinoy Plus Advocacy, Inc. at Manila City, Victoria by LoveYourself and LoveYourself Uni at Pasay, and, Diossa and LoveYourself, Inc. at Parañaque. For Luzon CBOs outside Metro Manila, we have Juan Posi+ive Movement at Pampanga, Cavite Positive Action Group The JCH Advocacy Inc. and AVES Love and Light at Cavite, and Project H4 at Palawan. For CBOs manning the testing sites at the Visayas and Mindanao areas, we have LoveYourself Whitehouse at Cebu, Kagay-an PLUS - Preserving Life, Uniting Society Inc. at Cagayan de Oro, Mujer-LGBT Organization at Zamboanga, and Olympus Society of Davao at Davao
With Community-Based Screening (CBS) utilized in all testing sites for the whole-day event, you will be assured a quick and easy screening process. This eliminates the long waiting time of the standard testing, which may last from one to two hours. With the CBS, results are ready in just 15-20 minutes of processing time and will only require a few drops of blood through a finger prick method. It should be noted that with CBS, you will not be given a printed copy of the results. But don’t fret, the third generation kit that will be used is 100% sensitive for non-reactive clients.
For the list of the testing sites and the partner CBOs, please be guided below.
