What do you do on your free time? Any hobby? Do you like to party? Travel maybe? Make friends? Enjoy life?  This is our upward challenge -- VOLUNTEER, and still do everything else you enjoy doing.  STEP FORWARD. If you're like us, you've probably been thinking of volunteering for some time now. You aren't alone. Many of us were drawn into this advocacy because we knew we needed to help in some way, we knew we could do something different, to contribute something relevant and significant for the community. And when we became part of LoveYourself, when we dared to step forward with action -- that allowed us to do amazing things. STEP UP. LoveYourself is a growing community of passionate, committed volunteers who are taking on the issues that matter to people like us: self-worth, being MSM, and the escalating situation of HIV in the community. Our volunteers have one thing in common: they are all buoyed up by their love to reach out and help. At LoveYourself, you are w...

Free HIV testing is offered at the Love Yourself Hub (a.k.a. RITM Satellite Clinic). Interested in getting tested? Come! We have friendly and well-trained HIV counselors who are committed to help you conveniently go through the entire testing process. Test results are released within the same day. What preparations are needed before the testing? Just bring yourself to the clinic for testing. Blood extraction will be performed, but unlike the usual blood tests, fasting is not required. How long does it take to get the results? Once the blood sample has been extracted from you, it will take 2-3 hours before you can get your results. The counselor will call your attention once the results are available, and then the post-test counseling shall take place. What are the symptoms of HIV infection? HIV infection can be asymptomatic. This means that you may feel perfectly healthy even if you have already been infected. The only way to know with absolute assurance that you have contracted the v...

LoveYourself welcomes the newest ally to its growing circle of supporters and friends, the beauty and wellness clinic Aesthetic Science . “We support LoveYourself, an organization that aims to raise HIV awareness among the youth and MSM groups. Let us achieve, share, and celebrate love in all its forms since the essence of love is universal,” said a representative from Aesthetic Science. Aesthetic Science has been ramping up its support not just to LoveYourself but also to other advocacies, such as assisting the Red-Cross Muntinlupa Chapter by organizing a blood donation drive among its employees. “We are turning red and sharing love this month by giving it not just to ourselves but to others as well,” said the Aesthetic Science representative. Established in November 2005 by Dr. Yanee Vasquez, Aesthetic Science was created out of a passion to provide affordable, medical-based skin and body care treatments in a relaxing and soothing ambience of a spa.  The medical-based cosmetic...
