HIV Testing in the Philippines – What you need to know and what you must know.
HIV Testing in the Philippines – How to get tested.
The Department of Health now ranks Philippines as one of the countries that has the fastest growing HIV epidemic in the world with a prevalence rate of 5% nationwide. There is a 20-25% prevalence rate in Metro Manila and 15-20% prevalence rate in Cebu. This rate dwarfed the prevalence rate in South Africa, which has the largest population of HIV positive individuals in the world, with a mere 4.7%. Prevalence rate refers to the percentage of individual affected by the disease at specific time. With that in mind, we can say that right now, in a population of 110 Million Filipinos, there are 5.5 Million individuals currently living with HIV.
Mere 5 years ago when I started making this blog, The Philippines is a low prevalence country with less than 1% of the population affected by HIV. This rapidly growing epidemic if left uncontrolled will eventually make The Philippines at par with South Africa with 1 out 10 individuals affected with HIV. So what went wrong? As a nurse with 15 years experience handling HIV cases and working actively with HIV positive individuals, here are my personal conclusions, do take note that this conclusions are not even close with the official conclusion of the Department of Health on why HIV became a rapidly growing epidemic in The Philippines. I personally think that their conclusion is too traditional and not in touch with the modern activities of our youth.
- DOH says that the resistance of the Church to some forms of birth control is a contributing factor on the HIV epidemic right now. I say that HIV is most commonly seen in the young population. A population that makes their own decision and is rebellious to the church teachings. Though the Church could have cause some sort of contribution, I do believe that the lack of sex education in our school particularly to our youth is a more blameable culprit than the Church. Did you know that people ages 14 to 30 makes up the 95% of newly diagnosed HIV cases each month and the median age of affected individual for the last 5 years is just 28 years old?
- DOH says prostitution or sex for money is a contributing factor of the epidemic and should be eradicated. I say that, prostitution cannot be eradicated. Since the dawn of human civilization, there is prostitution and it is something that is very hard to control much less eradicated from our society. What DOH can do is to provide an ID system and free monthly checkup to our sex workers to protect them as well as the people that they serve. This will also encourage the client to only have sex with a “clean” sex worker. This will also further educate our sex workers on proper ways of protecting themselves from different sexually transmitted infection as well as unwanted pregnancy.
- DOH says that persons under 18 who wants to test for HIV should require parental consent. I say that, I have clients with HIV at age 13, 14, 15… and that is because of failure in health promotion. The accessibility of casual sex thru apps like Grindr and other dating apps makes it very easy for 2 complete strangers to have sex consensually and thus, spreading the virus like wildfire to our young and techie population. These individuals would never dare to ask their parents permission to go with them and get tested, our culture against premarital sex and our bigotry against the LGBT makes it impossible to do so. HIV testing should be accessible to ANYONE at ANY AGE on their own volition.
THE CURRENT STATISTICS (2017)
It is estimated that there 1,000 reported HIV cases per month since the 6 months of 2016. At that rate, we can assume that there are 30 to 50 reported HIV cases daily. This does not include unreported cases. Unreported cases are HIV positive individuals who do not know they are infected. The epidemic growth rate is about 200% per year. This means that if not controlled, we could see a tenfold growth of HIV cases (300-500 cases per day) within the next 10 years.

HOW TO GET TESTED: HIV TESTING IN THE PHILIPPINES
One of the most important thing to do to prevent transmission is knowing your status. HIV is a very controllable disease as long as it is detected early and has not yet done major damage to your organs most specially the Liver, Kidneys and the Brain. There are many ways of getting tested for HIV in the Philippines. We will discuss each of them, one by one including their advantages and disadvantages.
I. Hospitals
Testing by going to hospitals is one of the most common means of getting tested. There are 5 hospitals in our country that specializes with HIV counseling and testing as well as referrals in case you tested positive and needing further treatment. In no particular order: RITM, San Lazaro Hospital, St. Lukes Medical Center both in Quezon City and Global, Makati Medical Center and Medical City in Ortigas. Do take note that the cost for HIV testing is around 1,100 to 3,800 in the private hospitals I mentioned.
PROS: If done correctly, results are very accurate. This is also the only results acknowledged in various employment and immigration requirements.
CONS: There is always an issue with regards to privacy and confidentiality getting tested in any hospital. Though privacy is protected by our health care professionals, there are many incidents of information leakage caused by poor protocol with regards to transfer of information such as students getting free access to medical records without permission or a slip of tongue during a conversation of one of the member of the health care team handling the HIV case. Hacking is another risk when it comes to electronically stored medical information and records of medication being dispensed from the Pharmacy and to whom.
When it comes to public hospitals, though uncommon, there are recorded cases of results being switched between patients. It is not unheard of that a certain person tested positive though in reality, he is negative simply because a specimen sample was incorrectly labeled with his name. Lapse in judgment and concentration of our overworked and underpaid medical professionals is the main culprit in most cases.
II. Free tests done by Volunteer groups
We have friendly, volunteer groups that do testing for free. You can call them and schedule a visit and let them know that you are interested in getting tested.
LOVE YOURSELF MALATE HUB
#1850 Leon Guinto Street, Malate, Manila.
Contact: 353-8922
LOVE YOURSELF ANGLO HUB
Unit 5, 3/F, Anglo Building, #715-A Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City.
Contact: 0915-366-5683
PROS: Free and they offer counselling as well. Staff are very friendly, professional and trained.
CONS: Privacy and result confidentiality are concerns when it comes to free and public testing. Though trained, innocent conversations could lead to information leakage both consciously and unconsciously. There are cases wherein a Volunteer saw a recently positive patient in the mall and told his friend that “That guys just tested positive yesterday.”
III. HIV testing kits
Advanced home test kits like Fujibio HIV kit has 99.9% accuracy similar to that of Hospital based testing.
Testing kits are widely used as the main method in HIV detection in some hospitals and hygiene clinic. All free testing done by volunteer groups uses HIV test kits. HIV testing hubs also uses HIV kits. Medical missions and workplace testing will usually use HIV testing kits. They are easy to use with result at 99.9% accuracy seen in mere 10 minutes. The common brands in The Philippines are Fujibio and SD Bio. Fujibio is Japanese made while SD Bio is Korean made. Both should give an accurate result with 99.9% certainty similar to that of hospital based testing. Only Fujibio HIV test kits are the only one you can buy online.
PROS: Very easy to use and results are very accurate. I would personally recommend testing using test kits first as to give you an accurate idea of your status before going to the hospital. That way, you will know that you will test negative or positive in advance privately. It is also very convenient and you are assure that only you will know the result. Fujibio hiv test kits being sold online also offers free counseling.
CONS: Since the person that bought the kit will usually test himself or herself, Anxiety could lead to testing delay. Some people will contemplate for weeks before using the test kits and then eventually forgets that he bought one.
A positive HIV test using an HIV Home Test Kit
I TESTED POSITIVE. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
If you used any of my recommendations above in getting tested and you tested positive, DO NOT DESPAIR. HIV is a very controllable disease and achievement of undetectable viral load is the treatment goal. Living a normal life is very possible with HIV as long as treatment is started and adherence to the treatment regimen is established. We have 2 options in getting treated.
Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM)
RITM is the premiere and the leading facility in The Philippines when it comes to antiretroviral drug distribution as well as treatment for HIV patients. This should be your first choice in obtaining confirmatory results and further treatment if the initial testing result was positive. RITM is more specialized than San Lazaro and could deal with serious HIV related complications such as Mycobacterium Bovis infection as well as cryptococcal infection of the brain.
For commuters:
- Take a bus or van going to Alabang.
- Look for the Muntinlupa Fire Station.
- Ride a UV express/van or a multicab with a Filinvest Ikot route in front of the Orange Building and Festival Mall just besides the fire station.
- Tell the driver to drop you off at RITM.
Total estimated fare cost: 60 -120 Pesos.
For private vehicles:
- Proceed to SLEX.
- Exit at Filinvest.
- Turn left after the toll gate.
- RITM is just at the right side.
Process:
- Ensure that you arrive before 7:00 A.M for baseline testing. You will not be entertained if you arrive late.
- Once inside, simply proceed to the ARG clinic.
- Register.
- Proceed to the cashier and pay 150 pesos for the orange patient sheet.
- Proceed to ARG and await for your name to be called.
- CD4 testing for positive patients are available after 1:00 P.M except during Wednesdays and weekends.
- Distribution of antiretroviral drugs are given monthly. Maximum supply for 1 month is dispensed at the given schedule.
- Drugs should be free and is subsidized by Philhealth.
The Thai Red Cross Research Center
If you have the budget of about 25,000 pesos every 6 months, a possible alternative is getting tested and treated in Thailand. The Thai Red Cross Aids Research Center is one of the most advanced HIV treatment facility in the world eclipsing RITM. They use the most advanced drugs that you need to only take once a day as compared to a cocktail of 2-3 medications that the Philippines still uses. Blood works such as CD4 testing is around 500 pesos and results are ready in 3 days. The medications used in TRCARC are the best medications available and is very cheap, it will only cost you about 10,000 pesos for your 6 months supply. This same medication costs about 80,000 per 1 month supply in the United States. It is cheaper in Thailand because it is subsidized by the Thai Government. You can only purchase 6 month supply of the drug as they will require you to come back every 6 months for monitoring your health status. This advanced medication is only taken once a day and has very little side effects. They look like Centrum tablets.

Ilang months or weeks bago maging accurate yung fujibio? Thanks
“A normal adult usually produces detectable antibodies 3 months after an HIV infection. Fujibio HIV test kits detect antibody as early as 6 weeks post infection. It is best to make sure that you always have protected sex during the testing period. Abstinence is always the surest way to prevent HIV infection during this time.”

Hi im nervous! Mouth sores or singaw has so many underlying causes. Pwedeng kulang ka sa vitamins, specifically vitamin c saka madami pa. The best way to find out if you’re reactive is mag pa screen ka. Kasi ang HIV is pwedeng symptomatic or asymptomatic (may sintomas o wala).
I was an HPV positive. I got my warts removal at Doc Pat Shaw, in Mandaluyong. They do warts removal. Visit niyo lang facebook Page nila.
Hi ano pong name ng clinic ni Doc Pat sa shaw?
Hello admin. Pwede ba ako mahawaan if yung partner ko may tulo at ako wala. Pwede ba akong mahawaan kahit bj bj lang ang gagawin namin? Thank you
Depress nako ngayon huhu
May possible po ba na mag Reactive ung result for 90days but NR for 60days? Thank you po sa sagot
Wag kayong matakot if may nararamdaman kayong simptomas. Mag pacheck up lng sa doctor.
Iwasan na rin ang makipagnsex kung kanikanino. Mas okay tlga na isang partner lng. And ganun din si partner. Mawawala ang anxieties kapag malaman ninyo ang result ng blood test.
Be safe. Stay safe. Para self at sa mga mahal sa buhay.
Good day! My last unprotected sex was 4 months ago. Though i’m not really concerned wla nmn ako mga symptoms so far. Nag donate kami ng dugo sa isang hospital na nag blood donation program with redcross with my classmates nung first week of june. If ever ba may HIV ako lalabas yun sa testing ng redcross? How long kaya nila tatawagan if ever positive sa hiv or other std? If walang tawag with in the month im safe?

Hi guys. May share lang po ako, kase me and my partner ( my bf ) were virgins until we decided to do anal sex. Yes, virgin kame pareho at wala kaming alam about sa kung anong makukuha sa pakikipag sex. So sa dala ng init ng katawan namin dahil sa soft touch na nangyare. We both decided to have sex pero dahil sa takot kong nakuha nya virginity at mas sa takot kong masaktan kase ang alam ko masakit sa pempem sabe ko ayoko sa pempem kase magdudugo daw tapos mahapdi sabe ng iba na naririnig ko lang. Tapos we decided to watch porn, yes we did. Tapos nakita namin sa isang video sa mag anal sex. Tapos ginawa namin yon kakaiba nga yung pleasure, and then wala kaming knowledge hindibkame nakagamit ng condom nangyare na saamin ng paulit ulit yon. Right after non nagkaroon ng ng ibang bowel movements ako. Natatakot ako kase pagka search ko if ano mangyayare after ng anal sex pwede daw magka HIV OR STD. SOBRANG natatakot ako.hays pano na kaya 😢
hindi biglang sumosulpot ang HIV or STD sa mga taong wla nito… unless kung isa sa inyo may nakuhang HIV dati from needle prick injury or sa tattooing… or di kaya nanay nio may HIV at nakuha nio at childbirth…
Hays. Thank you po sana magkaroon ng sex education dito sa PHILIPPINES like sa ibang bansa. Salamat po.
Hi Kyyla! Wala ka naman dapat ikatakot if pareho kayong honest sa isa’t isa about your sex life. I mean if parehas naman kayong loyal sa isa’t isa, there’s nothing to worry about. But screening is the best option para makasigurado ka. Tama si utin bilat, hindi lang through sex ang transmission ng HIV, pwede through tattooing or needle prick injury, pwede din from infected mother to her baby upon givig birth. Yung changes in your bowel movements, i think its normal kasi nga sabi mo first time mo anal sex.. but mag pa screening kayo pareho 3 months after having sex.
After 3 years of unprotected sex with different guys i guess this is it. Marami akong naka one night stand maybe in just a one month nakaka 15 na lalaki ako way back 2016 same goes to year 2017 SIGURO MATATAWAG KO SARILI KO NA MANIAC kase di ako makapali pag di makapag sex And i even do 3 some and lessen na sa 2018 but some of symstoms had eventually appeared like chills, night sweats, skin rushes etc. at nung 2016 nagkaroon ako ng UTI which i thought was it but iba e kasi mahapdi tas may sugat so in my concern i stopped doing what i used to do. Ginawa ko i took boku juice and took garlic for 3mons and thankfully nawala na but in the year 2018 bumalik ulit ako sa pagiging obsessed sa sex and so until this year 2019 but before that 7 months din akong hindi dinatnan ng regla. Nung april lang ako ni regla right after ko makipag sex (one night stand) and kakaiba regla ko grave sobrang baho ng duho yung ROTTEN SMELL? ganun yung amoy gang sa natapos regla ko i bare it for almost 2mos na ganun ang amoy and this month June hindi na ako makapakali kasi feeling ko lumala na may kakaiba na kasi like unusual discharge and just this afternoon right after i took a bath out of my curiosity itinignan ko vagina using a mirror and a phone which so ayun na nakita ko may BUMPS , REDNESS and puti puti. YEP, I HAVEN’T GONE TO ANY HOSPITAL YET TO GET TESTED. natatakot ako. Diko alam ano gagawin ko. What if my parents would know about this ano na lang? But yeah I’m pretty sure I AM POSITIVE. HUHUHUHU
Nung 2018 7mons ako di ni regla i was diagnosed with PCOS yun sabi ng OB ko lumobo ako but this year lang bigla po akong pumayat. 63kg from the year 2016-2017 , 2018 -60kg (December reference weight guide) at ngayung 2019 this mon lang no heavy exercise kain tulog but i lost 6kg in just 5mos naging 54kg na lang ako. Pati mga kakilala ko nagtaka kung bakit bigla akong pumayat nagtatanung sila kung ano ginawa at take ko. (kain tulog lang talaga no diet pils or whatsoever)

Helen, kung binasa mo ang article sa taas, hindi mo kailangan magcomment para magtanong kung saan pwede magpakonsulta. At kung binasa mo talaga ang article sa taas at nagbackread ka, malalaman mo na hindi diagnostic clinic ang thread na to at hindi mo na kailangan magcomment para sa listahan ng symptoms mo. May acute ka pang nalalaman.
isa ka pang. hinayipak ka..nag mamagaling ja din..hibdi mo alama kung san ka din galing..piste ka
Hindi mo.nalang ituro kung anu dapar gawin tang ina ka..ganyan talaga kayo pputang ina nyo..piate
Ang gusto mo pala ay ituro sa yo ang gagawin mo. Pero diba ginawa na yan ng mga readers? Kung hindi ka masaya sa gabay nila, ganito ang dapat mong gawin.
1. Sabihin mo sa partner mo, na dahil sa katarantaduhan mo at kamangmangan mo, gumamit ka ng sex worker na walang protection.
2. Sabihin mo sa partner mo na dumaan ka na sa maraming tests at NR ang test results.
3. Sabihin mo sa partner mo, na dahil sa mga “sintomas” mo, mas gusto mong maniwala na HIV infected ka kahit taliwas sa test results.
4. Sabihin mo sa partner mo na natatakot ka na maaaring “nahawaan” mo siya pati na mga anak mo.
5. Humingi ka ng patawad. Pwede kitang bigyan ng script.
6. Que pinatawad ka o hindi, dalhin mo ang pamilya mo sa doktor para malaman at malunasan ang karamdaman nila.
7. Balitaan mo kami dito sa magiging diagnose ng doktor sa partner mo at mga anak mo para may matutunan din kami sa karanasan mo.
Pasado na ba ang itinuro ko? Ito ba ang hinahanap mo? Sana nakatulong ako.
Where can i buy hiv tester?
Siguro this july or august na ako magpatest para sa conclusive result. Yung last exposure ko kasi nung may 29 2018 pa then nag patest ako ng first week ng november 2018 at NR sa HIV, Hepa A and B at syphilis ung result pero 1yr and 2weeks narin nakakalipas to kelangan ko pang magpatest for peace of mind, sana NR parin ako natatakot talaga ako 🙁 kakainis siguro ako lang gumagawa ng sakit ko dahil sa pagsesearch ko ng symptoms, lagi kong kinwkapa lymp nodes ko kung normal ba pero normal naman sya lahat, sa behind ear ko medyo lumaki pero hindi masakit siguro sa sipon ko lang yon, at minsan pag nasa inuman ako at sobrang lasing kinabukasan nilalagnat at nagkakadiarhea pero 1 day lng naman pag iinum ng gamot para sa sakit. Hays nababaliw talaga ako lalo na ayokong makahawa at sana negative parin result ko huhu lagi akong nagppray every night na sana negative ako. Minsan nalilibang ko sarili ko pero di ko parin matanggal sa isip ko yung mga symptoms, konting karamdaman hinihinala ko agad itong hiv. Hays hirap talaga kapag paranoid ka.
Naghahanda na ako for my last check up I’m hoping na negative or NR ang result.
Since page 131or 132, I have been playing like a broken record making comments “seek professional services and get tested”. There is a story behind it.
Due to my lapse in judgement (or my stupidity) I got exposed 2nd week of October 2018. The morning after greeted me with regrets and a lot of “what ifs”. With a little research, I learned about the “window” or the time from exposure to the time when infection can be detected already. It devastated me because I had to wait 3-6 months for a conclusive test result. I waited and waited.
The 7 months and 1 week post-exposure were my most harrowing and horrific times. I am guilty of being obsessed with web search, including this thread which I left at one point, looking for symptoms though I never experienced any. Not even diarrhoea. Month of May, after mustering the courage, I went to a free testing clinic and I can still remember the fear and shame inside me as I entered the premises. In my effort to conceal much of my face, I wore a hoodie, baseball cap and glasses on a sunny day when I went for the test.
When my number was finally called for the test result, I was escorted by the counsellor to that little room. Yes, that little room or cubicle or enclosure or whatever. I wanted earth to swallow me alive at that moment.
NR.
My own takeaways from the experience:
1. At one point, one has to muster the courage to get tested especially if exposure happened. It is never easy.
2. Health science and technology are catching up. Before, one has to endure waiting days to get the results.
3. Stigma happens because of misconceptions, exchange of unreliable information and lack of awareness – among other things.
4. Safe sex. Safe sex. Safe sex.
Hi Harot, by exposure, what does it mean? Last time you had unprotected sex? Or last time you had unprotected sex with someone infected? Sorry im new to this 🙂
Hi. It means last time I had unprotected sex.
Are you also part of our LGBTQIA community?
To add, did you do it with your same sex?
Hi Harot. Buti ka pa kinaya mo magpatest. Ako kasi grabe takot ko. Kinakain na ko ng anxiety. Kahit na di naman nya napasok sa anal ko kasi masakit. Pag-pinapasok nya sobrang sakit tapos nahuhugot din naman still kinakabahan ako. Alam ko sinagot nyo na na hindi ako mahahawa pag di naman napasok pero grabr takot ko. Help me.
Hindi nakakamatay ang magpa-test. I will do what needs to be done for my peace of mind.
Masyado akong paranoid kasi wala naman talaga ibang symptoms at matagal naman na kami ng bf ko. 3yrs at kami lang naman ang magkapartner.. pero baka lang kasi ung mga prior partners ko. Nad kapag kasi nagiintercourse kami ng bf ko may odor afterwards kahit week ago na nakalipas after my period. And minsan may irritation din ako sa anus. (Pero baka allergy) pero nagpa oby nadin naman ako..kaso i want to be sure..So i ordered fujibio hivtestkit.. and I feel relieved now. Its negative..
OK good to hear. Safe sex always.
pwde po ba magtanong kung anung doctor ako lalapit para magpacheck for stds?
Infectious disease MD. Check the directory of hospitals. You will find one.

Hays,
February 1, eto yung sinulat mo
“Hi po. kakagaling ko lng po sa lagnat then nawawala po yung gana kung kumain at bakit po kaya na nagkakadiarrhea ako ngayun. mga 3 days na po yata. hiv na po kaya ito? huhu sana po hindi please.”
“Hi po. last dec. 2018 po nagsex kmi ng gf ko then ngayong january nagsex uli kmi then after 1 or 2 days nagkaflu sya at nahawa ako. mga 3 days na lagnat po at ngayon inuubo na lng kmi. patulong po pls. mahina po katawan ko dahil wala akong gana kumain. ano po dapat ko gawin upang mabilis akong gumaling.”
More than 4 months na, hindi pa rin resolved? Wala ka pa ring ginawa? O panggulo lang?
opo sorry po pero takot ako magpatest eh. pero try ko po muna bumuli ng kit kasu d ko alam kung paanu at wala pang pera. hindi po ako pagulo dito. nagduda lng po ako dati kasi nagka red bumps ako sa likod then dun na nagsimula ang anxiety ko dahil my kaibigan ako nurse student tapos bigla lng hiv symptoms ang topic which ia rashes. sa subrang kaba ko po sinabi ko sa parents ko at nagpaderma kmi tapos sabi ko nya insect bites daw tapos tinanong ko baka hiv rashes tu tapos sabi nya hindi tapos nagpadoctor ulit kmi ganun dn sabi insecta bites gd pero sa subra kong iniisip nagka anxiety na ko sa hiv. hindi namn po ako active sa sex eh…sana po hindi po ito
Bili ka na nung kit. Madali lang gamitin.
panu po bumili kasi hindi ko gets sa taas kung paanu
Tingin ko Harot isang tao lng yan… yang mga “panggulo” dito… kainis tlga yang signs and symptoms na pagtatae/diarrhea.. haha!
Hays, may contact number ng Fujibio sa taas: 0915-366-5683 … marunong ka ba magtext?

Minsan after a year symptoms nya. Better check 3 to 6 months prior ng unprotected sex nyo.
A week after the unsafe sex lalabas na symptoms?

letcheng tanong yan nkakainis haha
Bro try mo magpacheck sa doctor baka kung ano anong sakit lang yan… Stop worrying bro d yan mkakatulong… Pray lng… Read bible for peace of mind… Nothing is impossible with the Lord if you believe… Rely your day with the Lord always… Guni2x lng yan sayo… D knaman mamamatay pag may hiv ka… Trust the Lord lng… Nr na yan bro… The Lord will forgive you, turn away from your sins…. And rely on him always… When you don’t know what to do, go with him. Even in good times thanks him… Always….
😭😭okay lang sana bro sa akin lang sakit natu pati asawa at anak ko nahawaan ko na..nilalagnat sila ngayon talto inuubo pa..hirap din sila maka tulog yong dalawa anak ko hinang hina na..hindi ko na alam gagawin ko kung panu ko sabihan yong asawa ko huhu..mahirap maipaliwanag sa kanya..😭😭pero salamat sayo bro..

Sad,
Pwede ka bang pakiusapan nang maayos? Siguro naman alam mo na marami nang naiinis sa yo, isama mo na ako.
Since May 9 mo pa inilalapit dito ang karamdaman mo. Marami na ang nakabasa ng kalagayan mo. May mga nagbigay na ng guidance. May mga nagbigay na ng sympathy/emphathy. Idagdag mo pa ang mga dasal na ibinibigay sa yo. Tested NR ka na sa huling test.
Mas lalo kang matakot kung hindi mo dadalhin sa doctor ang partner at mga anak mo para malaman talaga ang tunay na karamdaman nila na hindi mo makukuha dito. Humanap ka din ng ibang doctor para sa mga nararamdaman mo.
Hindi mo alam kung paano mo sasabihin sa partner mo? Hindi rin namin alam pero maging tao at magpakatao ka sa pamilya mo.
I am writing this giving you the benefit of the doubt about your real intentions here. Please. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
PS. Ang hirap isulat ng comment na ito. Grrrrrr!!!
Sir sad, pa check up ka po, baka ibang sakit po yan… baka mamaya, normal na flu lang yan, wag po ma paranoid saka wag mag depende sa nakikita o nababasa sa net…
To Anxiety Attack,
The good news is, there are different HIV testing methods, with varying degree of sensitivity, that one can avail of. Meaning, there is/are test/s that can detect the infection 10-30 days post exposure. You may inquire with diagnostic clinic for options available if waiting 3-6 months for another test has become stressful to you. Expect to pay more. You may want to visit this site for the description of the tests. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/testing.html
Go for it and good luck!
By the way, I also got tested in LoveYourself 7 months and 1 week post exposure. NR.
Do they release the hiv result online sa hi precision or dapat kunin personally. What does it mean pag sinabing nakaleave daw ung counsellor kaya di mabigay result. Nagpositive kayaun? Holiday daw kase today and skeletal force sila. Thanks
di naman ibig sabihin nag positive.. whatever the result, they are required to do counselling when you retrieve the result
Thank you so much… pero a 63 day negative fujibio 3rd generation kit is highkybreassuring na, don’t you think? Highly unlikely to change onwards? And ano ung 5 percent daw ng mga tao na di nag seseroconversion after 6 weeks? Thank you again. Nakakakaba kase kahapon pa ung extraction sa hinprecision tapos wala result today. Maybe kase ngabsa reason mentioned…
I meant dahil no counsellor…
hindi ako doctor kaya i can’t give you percentages… but more likely NR na yan.. i was also required to attend counselling but still NR…
I’m planning to take a test for hiv in Hi-pri, how much po yon, ako kasi ung nag NR sa Loveyourself anglo after 5months exposure, I need lang for peace of mind, and I know I’ve been guilty sa pagtataksil ko, pero gusto ko talaga malaman if HIV-free ako , natatakot narin ako kasi sabi ng iba dto di pa daw conclusive ang 3 mos at hanggang 6 mos. What should I do? Should I need to take a test ? Gusto ko talaga ng peace of mimd 🙁
Mura lang ang test don…aame lang namn sa anglo halos pero get tested at 6 mos pero nega na yan para matigil ka lang kakaisip.
natatakot na talaga ako yong dalawang anak ko at asawa ko nagkakasakit na sila..huhuhu
kung makikita lang kitang putang ina ka..tudokan kita para mahawaan ka din tang inaka ka..kala mu kung saan din nang galing..tang ina..
Si sir Lloyd ay isa sa mga magaling at realistic na nagpapayo dito… sa kanya ako humingi ng payo dati… bakit ka galit na galit Sad? iba talaga galawan ng isip mo. Hindi ka karapat dapat payuhan kung ganyan ugali mo… hahawaan mo pa? nababaliw kana nga! buti pang mawala ka na…
maitim ang budhi mo pre… si sir lloyd ang isa sa mga pillars dito.. tapos ganyanin mo lng? magbalik loob ka na sa Dios.. dami mo ng kasalanan…
teka, positive ka na? last week at 3mos, NR ka sabi mo… ang gulo mong kausap ha… pang-gulo ka tlga dito..
sad pray ka lang wala yan lahat namn naranasan yan saka may mga tao nman dito na maiintindihan ka pero may mga tao din medyo makulitan ganyan talaga pag may anxiety pero sana palakasin mo katawan mo ok godbless sad
ungas wag naman ganyan salita mo intindihin mo nalang si sad, sobra taas ng pag aalala nya saka sa mga galawan ni sad sana intindihin nalang natin lahat kahit medyo makulit na, nandito tau para magtulungan hindi para magpayabangan o magtalo, napaka iksi ng buhay para makipag talo, lahat namn tau nakaranas ng ganyan saka napakarami ng nakaka basa dito, patnubayan po tau ng dyos
salamat sayo ryder..uu kasalanan ko lahat to..dinamay ko pa anak at asawa ko..d ko na alam ang aking gagawin talaga kung panu ko naipaliwanag sa asawa at anak ko..d ko alam kung saan ako lalapit..hindi ko talaga kaya mag salita sa kanya..yong dalawang anak ko baka hindi nila kayanan ang sakit na to….😭😭😭 sana mapatawad ako sa panginoon dios sa ginawa kung ito..gusto ko nlang taposin ang buhay ko pero d ko Rin gusto mawala yong dalawang anak ko at asawa ko sa kagagawan ko😭😭😭
Hi sad. Try to go Medical Plaza Ortigas kay Dr. Yang he’s really good . 1,700 lang kasi consultation but it really helps you a lot. Maghanap ka nang pwede mong mapagkatiwalaan sa kalagayan mo para naman maibuhos mo man lang lahat ng problema mo. And, don’t forget to pray always. 😊 Goodluck!
anung doctor po ya maam?..dito po kasi ako sa cebu maam..

Hi Anxiety Attack,
The good news is, there are different HIV testing methods, with varying degree of sensitivity, that one can avail of. For example, there is/are test/s that can detect infection 20-30 days post exposure. You may inquire with Hi-Pre or other diagnostic clinics the options that are available if waiting for 3-6 months for another testing has become stressful to you. Peace of mind sometimes entails paying more. Visit the website of Center for Disease Control and Prevention for simple descriptions of these different tests. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/testing.html
Go for it and good luck.
Accurate po ba ung 2 months? Nagpatest po aq 2months ago and the result is Nr i wonder if accurate na po sya and kung magpapatest po ba aq for my 3rd month ilang percent po ang possibility na mag NR sya at mag R sya? Thank you po.
Ilang months or weeks bago maging accurate yung test sa fujibio? Thanks
update lang po..101days ko NR pa rin..
Gaano katagal po after test bago nyo nakuha result sa hi precision. Thanks. congrats on the non reactive result.
isang araw po..kasi nag pa test ako kahapon hapon na yon mga alas 2 kaya pinabalik ako kanina..kung umaga ka mag pa test mga hapon na araw na yon makukuha mo na..
hndi kapadin ba nkkpag move on ikaw na ngpapahirap sa sarili mo eh
sa doctor kna magpa chckup tapos pakita mo yang result mo
pa check talaga ako uli..sa ibang doctor..
congrats… ang tanong, masaya ka ba o hindi? ‘wag ng maraming satsat… balik ka dito after 6mos… wag ng tingnan ung mga cbc rbc na yan dahil hindi ka doctor… peace!
sa totoo lang hindi ako masaya..kasi sa nararamdamab ko ngayon..
case closed. hindi HIV yang naeexperience mo.
next step? visit a doctor and stop soliciting advice from the internet.
Ngayon mag ipacheck mo na bukol mo sa doctor. Para habang maaga pa… Mahirap na pag huli na…para maagapan pa…
update lang 100 days namamayat nahihilo laging antok timbang ko ngayon 68 dati 79..nag pantest kahapon sa hi pre wala pang result..hirap na din huminga..
Nr parin ba?
wala pa result binigay
here’s hoping you get NR result so you finally stop yapping out. Pero feel ko you will still rant about feeling symptoms. my friendly advice to you is get tested for other diseases or visit RITM.l basahin nalang ung directions sa taas.
Good luck.
sir kon may kilala ka ba na negative cya 3 months tapos nag rective after 4 to 6 months?
sir kon hindi talaga to biro totoo talaga to sinasabi ko..sobrang hina konna tlaga tapos yong wbc ko at rbc ko pa baba na talaga..ngayon lang talaga ako nag ka ganito simula naka encounter ko yong babae na bayaran..huhuhu na sa cebu po kasi ako..
sir kon dito po kasi ako sa cebu..may ka kilaka ka ba na negative cya sa 3 omths tapos nag positive cya sa 4 -6 months..iba talaga pakiramdam ko simula nang naka encounter ko yong babae na yo…yong wbc at rbsmc ko pa baba na..huhuhu..tapos ang payat ko na laging puyat..yong asawa ko nag kakasakit na rin..
‘bat mo binabasa ung mga rbc cbc na yan, doctor ka ba?
nag pa cbc kasi ako tatlong besis kasi pag ma baba daw yong rbc at wbc mo isa din yan na indicator na may infection sa katawan mo..hindi ako doctor pero ma basa mondin yan jasi may mga ranges yan
correction: kung mataas ang wbc mo, indication yan na may infection 🙂 … kung low rbc naman, usually ibig sabihin niyan anemic ka.. which is not necessarily caused by hiv
low wbc at rbc nga ako..isa yan sa indication na may infection ka..o may hiv ka..
karamihan mga seaman jan sila nasasabit sa cbc dahil low wbc at rbc sila kaya pina pa repeat sila at yon e hiv test sila nag positive sila.
cguro sa case ko hindi pa lang talaga na detect yong sa akin..
A high white blood cell count usually indicates:
An increased production of white blood cells to fight an infection

Hello po pwede po ask ko lang po kase po nagka tulo po ako for almost 5months na
Hinde ko po kase alam na nagkatulo na po ako non kaya tumagal sya nagpacheck up nadin ako pero hinde pa gumaling ano po ba magandang gawin po pasagot naman po thanks
gulo ng tanong mo. Get tested/visit a doctor.
Will a 63 day negative result using fujibio highly likely to remain negative at 84 days or 12th week?
Thanks
Yes…
Thank you. Back reading the posts of sad and it is shocking that he tested negative previously and then a week later tested positive at 93 days.. haven’t read all though as I am using my phone scrolling through the posts and the prints are small and my eyes are straining… What is the update on him?
Magkano po magpa test sa hi precision? Thank you
I have no idea as I tested using fujibio po
Avoid Reading safe story negative sya ndi nya lng talaga matanggap ung results
400 po
sir AARON hindi kasi ikaw nag dala nang katawan ko..bakit ko masabi na positive talaga ako? kasi iba talaga nararamdaman ko…nanghihina pumapayat lilalagnat yong cbc whiteblood cell bumaba pati yong redblood cell..pati doctor walang findings kundi sabi lang mag pa test every 3 months..
Bakit HIV lang ba ung sakit na pwede kang manghina? Just leave here already, oo nagkkwento ka but nagdadala ka ng stress and anxiety dahil sa kwento mo. Wag mo na kaming idamay sa anxiety mo. Karma mo na rin siguro yan kasi cheater ka.
uu inaamin ko na karma na to sa akin..gusto lang naman mag share..tapos wag kayo manila sa window period lalo na kung may nararamdaman..3 months negative tapos may symptomas ka dapat pa test ka hanggan 6months..
Pumunta kang RITM mag pa western blot ka,at pag di ka parin naniwala sa result mo. Di na sakit sa HIV yan, sakit na sa ulo yan.
Binlowjob po ako ng bakla, may chance po ba na mag positive ako? Since nagpacheck nmn ako for hiv 3 months and 5months after the exposure. Please help me… Thanks po. Ksi nagkakasakit ako, d ko alam kung dahil sa stress
Sobrang liit NG chance…if RN kana pag test mo NG 3 months or 5months Sabi mo..move on na…d ka infected..
If you’re a woman and had multiple sex partners but none of them are HIV postives, is it possible that the woman maybe the carrier?
Negative ka for sure
hi bea add na kita jpox doria pangalan ko..chat na kita
Peeps,
This is not a diagnostic forum. You can list all your symptoms or manifestations and as long as you want, the well-meaning readers here will only say one thing – CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL for testing, diagnosis and counselling.
Just so you know, I’ve consulted 5 doctors and nobody can give a diagnosis. Medications don’t even work. And guess what the last doctor said? Test every 3 months. So, should I believe this doctor? Tell me.
go RITM then
Ano po ba nangyari sayo maam? NR ka ba for 6mos after your ONLY risky exposure? If NR, then you don’t have HIV and its some other disease. Pero bakit HIV ung hinala mo?
Bakt pinapsbalik parin ng doctor every 3 months? Sino paniniwalaan ko? High risk exposure. Nag bleed ung vagina kaya for sure pasok sa blood stream. All symptoms after 2 weeks. Pinakamalala diarrhea for more than a month, stomach noises til present, sobrang daming symptoms kaya pinapabalik ako ng doctor ko after 3 months. Leukoplakia til present. Basta lahat na naranasan ko after the exposure. Night sweats for 3 months. Name it. Sabi nya sakin may mga cases daw na more than 6 months magproduce ng antibodies kaya monitor ko.
kaya nga hindi pa ako maka move on din..dahil ganyan din nararamdaman ko..yan din sabi nang doctor ko..dati 79kg ako..ngayon 68 kg nlang..
ok.. pang ilang month na ngayon? cge hintay tayo after 6months since the risky exposure…
101 days na (3months and 11 days)
hi bea musta kna po eto ako ganun pa din musta npo kayo hirap pag nagaalala ako hayss always pray po
Change of tune after 6 days?
June 6, you made comments in two different entries. Verbatim, this is what you wrote:
‘… Again, these are just guidelines. I advise to people to get tested every 3 months. Better be sure than be sorry.”
“… Instead of telling people to move on, tell them to get tested every 3 months. I asked my doctor regarding this and she told me to continue testing.”
Why don’t you just follow your own advise ?
You started making your presence felt here since March 14 or maybe even earlier. Did you find your answers over the past 3 months?
I won’t tell you what and who to believe but this is what I have to say – am sorry that science and technology in the country is ( or may be) way behind to diagnose your “symptoms” or manifestations. I wish you a long and healthy life. May you find your answers.
*mic drop”
Yah I’ll still stick to what I said. Check every 3 months. As per doctor’s order as well. I’m not asking seriously if I should stop, it was a sarcastic comment. Hello!
By the way, you might want to read the WHO international website as well.
nice one harot…bea, if lagpas 6months na yan and NR parin tapos meron ka pa rin “symptoms”… hindi yan hiv… lipat ka na sa ibang doctor if pinapa balik2 ka nia every 3 months and wla ka namang exposure…
Question lang po:
I had an exposure last May. M2F. Guy po ako. After 2 weeks, I had these symptoms like pag nana ng ulo ng ari and sa labi may butlig (pero walang nana), Medyo bumaba resistensya ko kasi nga nag exercise ako, so napansin ko. then nag karoon ako ng night sweat pero 2 days lang, masakit na pag ihi. Ive been tested just last week and received my result (urine test). Nag bigay din po sila sakin ng antibiotic which is Acyclovir and pang pahid. nawala naman po after a week yung mga symptoms pero may bakas pa din. ngayon medyo kinakabahan po ako kasi white yung dulo ng dila ko malapit sa ngala ngala, then medyo sumasakit lalamunan pero tolerable naman. I received my result last weekend and wala naman po akong ghonorrhea, meaning negative po ako sa HSV 1 and HSV 2.
sa ngayon po is wala naman akong nararamdaman pa, pamumuti lang ng dila, sore throat and pananakit ng likod (di naman masyado masakit, baka inisip ko lang) pero di pa din ako nag start mag exercise. please help and advise po. its been my 4th week already. hoping wala po ito. salamat po. dasal lang po and sama niyo po ako sa prayers niyo.
doctor ang mkakasagot jan… at since pumunta ka dito, malamang may duda ka na hiv yan… kaya yes, pacheck ka din ng HIV…
Prayers won’t do you good until you consult a medical professional. This is not a diagnostic forum.
pa test ako ngayon sa hi-pre..pang 100 days ko
Kumusta yong hiv test result mo kanina sir?
wala pa baka mamaya kung mag positive ako ngayon tawagan nlang daw nila ako..
hiiii i had sex w someone last saturday and he showed results na he’s negative, pero this monday night ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko and parang sinasakit ako. i’m scared na baka symptom na siya ng HIV, pero sana nga mismong fever lang huhu. i’m 17 years old btw, and yung sex is M2M. will i be able to get tested without my parents consent or not? i am really scared.
Hello po good afternoon. Question lang kapag ba nakipagsex ako sa guy tapos pinilit nyang ipasok sa anal ko pero di napapasok kasi 1st time ko at masakit may tendency ba na mahawa ako? Salamat sa sasagot
wla.
San po makakabili ng hiv testing kit?
lol anyare na sa comment section?
sa 2 years ko na dito paulit ulit lang ang tanong at sagot.
– want to know your status? get tested.
– doubt your results? get tested again
– feeling something? get checked by a doc
– anxiety and ignorance can make you sick
buti pa yung mga nagtest ng POSITIVE nag move on na and I’m very glad for them. BACKREAD din…
Hello po ..tanong ko Lang po kasi sobrang takot na kasi ako ngayon ..masama Yung pakiramdam ko at nanghihina na ako pero Wala akong Alam talaga…tulungan nyo Naman ako ..di ko masabi sa family ko Kasi takot ako at nahihiya.
elow po. nagpatest napo ba kayo？ patest po muna kayo my mga libre naman po ang test sa social hygien clinic.
