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 and Japan FDA approved while SD Bio is Korean made and Korean FDA approved. 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.
Fujibio’s Japan FDA Registration. Click photo to enlarge.
PROS: Very easy to use and results are very accurate. FDA Japan Approved. Do note that here in The Philippines, FDA does not approve any home test kits to encourage hospital only testing. 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.

Nagpareply ka sa akin sa page 121. Jast feb 19 ata yon. Ako yong rare case. Nagreactive ako last Jan 19,2019 sa medical screening for pre-emoyment. mula 1997 to 2019 Jan 19,2019 saka lng ako nagka reactive.yearly ako nagpatest screening all non reactive.D ako gumagamit ng babae na hindi naka condom maliban sa asawa ko.Pero nagreactive ako reading 5.5. Maingat ako sa xhexks buhat ng ako ay nagka chlaydia sa mga checks ko noong binata pa.lahat na yon na babae ay malinis.nagka chlamydia ako sa dahilan na halo halo ang bacteria.puro.walang HIV cla.Ngayon nagpatest ako dalawa kami ng misis ko sa fujibio parihas kami non reactive. Para may idea ako na talagang hiv positive ako habang naghintay sa San Lazaro confirmatory. Lumabas sa confirmatory na kahit isang bond ni walang isa.Pero nilagay nila INDETERMINATE. Recommendation for retest ulit sa Western blot or PCR. Para once and for all. Magpakuha sana ako ng PCR sa San Lazaro.Kaso nangyari na naubusan cla.So pumunta ako sa HP nagpakuha sinabay ko na pakuha ng CD4. PCR ito yong test na kahit 2 araw madetect agad ang HIV virus vial laod sa madaling sabi medyo mahal lng talaga cya.Ang result No measurable HIV makita at ang viral load.At ang CD4 ko ay 740. Bago ako pumunta doon sa HP nagpakuha muna ako ulit sa Manila tapat ng SAN Lazaro sa Manila social Hygien bato? Result non reactive.
Btw correct ko lng mag mo. Once na mag eeactive ka sa pre wmployment visa mo. Automatic na yun na for confirmatory ka pag nag reactive ka. Bakit d ka na confirmatory nang kung saan ka nag pa medical gor pre employment mo?

How do you know youre both negative? If you gpt tested previously and is aware of your status (nega), nothing to worry, but if not, Get tested nalang because exchange of body fluids is risky
Possible po ba magka hiv if i gave him a bj pero first time ko lang yun? Pero hindi naman po ako lumunok ng sperm niya.

Sir marx tanong lang po, gumamit ako ng fujibio 12 weeks after my last exposure. Ang result is 1 line sa C.
Safe po ba yung finger prick device ni fujibio? Medyo napaparanoid po kasi ako
nalimotan ko na pano gamitin ang fujibio haha… bsta guaranteed safe ung finger prick device ni fujibio… hindi naman ganun kasama ang mga tao para mgpack cla ng infected na prick device.. and namamatay ang viris within seconds lng pag naexpose sa hangin… kaya SAFE YAN
Thank you sa pag reply sir Marx. May tanong lang po ulit sana ako.
1. Natry niyo na po ba ang fujibio? If yes, kailan po.?
2. Currently saan po best clinic na mag regular check up? Balak ko na kasi mag regular check up para di ako na strestress.
1. YES, natry na… tatlong beses yata… early this year Feb, March and April… NR po ako thank God… sir or maam, andun lng po sa taas ang video kung paano gamitin ang fujibio…
2. Regular check-up? Bale mgpapaconsult ka cguro sa isang doctor. So mgpa consult ka sa isang Infectious Disease specialist na doctor. Halos lahat ng mga hospital may nfectious Disease specialist. Wla akong ma suggest na clinic sa iyo kasi wla ako sa Luzon. Cguro St. Lukes gusto mo? or San Lazaro ba yan….
Ok po sir Marx, congratulations po sa results niyo.
Thank you din for replying to my inquiries, kinakabahan po kasi ako dun sa finger prick device after ko gamitin ta baka contaminated.
Pero after knowing about your results. Di na po ako kinakabahan. Thank you po ulit.

Hi is using toys without sanitizing it can give you STD? I’m barely legal and still in the closet so no actual intercourse pa. But because of curiosity I used toys and I admit I was careless na minsan hindi ko na hinuhugasan bago gamitin at kung saan saan nalang nilalagay, but not all the time. I also used lotions and moisturizers as lube. Ang tanong ko lang gaano karisky yung masturbation/penetration using objects? Ako lang naman gumagamit at hindi pinapagamit sa iba. Lately kasi may nararamdaman akong kakaiba sa katawan ko, ayokong i-assume na may sakit nga ako baka dala lang ng anxiety and overthinking to. So please I need response!!! Thanks
Ayoko munang magpatest kasi baka hingan ng consent ng parents since i’m still a minor..

Anyone here who can help me. I got tested using Fujibio 2x. Came out Negative in both kit. my last possible exposure was in 2017. conclusive na po ba kaya yung result? Thank you sa makakasagot.
Yes, conclusive na..
Sir. If ever po ba mag pa test ako sa hospital still negative pa din ba? baka kase mag bago pa result but Im 100% sure na 2017 last possible exposure ko. Anxiety talaga kalaban ko sir.
Yes. Kahit sa hospital ka magpatest negative yan.. That’s beyond the window period kung 2017 pa last exposure mo.. Stop worrying na.. God bless!
Hi question lang yung boyfriend ko kase now is worried since nalaman nya na yung ex ko pala is unfaithful sakin noon and halos more than 5 girls yung naka sex. Pero ako with my ex ang last namin is Sept of 2017. So may chance padin ba ko magpositive?? But ofcourse I know best padin yung mag pa test.
Thanks in advance
Thats so absurd. Bakit mo ipapasipsip sa kaibigan mo yung dugo mo? Lol anyway, we can only suggest you to go get tested. Details of satellite clinics are already indicated above. Kindly read through
Sir, last na nakipag sex ako 2016 and that guy is dead now cause of HIV/AIDS diko maalala kong napasok kuba penis ko sa anal nya ang naalala ko po dumikit lang tas umayaw na ako kasi galing sya ng cebu non malmang sino sinong lalaki kasama nya doon counted ba yun my HIV kaya ako i really want to get tested but i dont know where to start and how to do it and i dont have any money for medication.
Get tested. That’s the only appropriate response.
Maam sir pinasip sip ko po ung dugo ko sa kaibigan ko tas kong akoy mayroon HIV ung sumisip ng dugo ko magkakaroon din ba ng HIV. medyo madami po yong na sip sip nya kumalat po sa gums nya pero na limumog naman sya right after 3 minutes po ng tubig tapos nag tooth brush ABOUT 10MINS

Sir Marx please answer, reliable po ba ung Fujibio. 12 weeks since my last exposure.
Tapos regarding sa prick device, malinis po ba un?
Im curious as to what the expert opinion is on giving handjobs with small cuts on the fingernails (nail biter) how big is the chance of getting the virus? im a side so I never experienced penetration whatsoever. Also I cant wait for 3 months to be tested, my anxiety will me.. Do I really have to wait 3 months?
Hi po mag tatanong lang po nag pa check na po ako ng dugo sa ritm tanong lang po negative po lumabas 100% po ba ang fujibio? Ngayon lang ako nag pa test after ilang years nadetect kaya ng tama na negative or mag pacheck ako ulit
Kung madaming taon na po ang nakalipas mula nung huli mong possible exposure ay conclusive na po yan
Hindi nako mag papasecond test naaaning po kase
Hndi din binigay sakin yung result bawal daw totoo po ba yun
