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.

Magpatest ka! Tanong ka ng tanong dito ng sa diarrhea, sa singaw,. Diarrhea lang hiv na agad?
if negative po ba mga sir at maam Conclusive na ba yung 3 months na test?
3 months is conclusive UNLIKE THE 1 MONTH TEST for antibody. You can breathe now.
After 3 months of waiting i decided to take a test and i tested negative sir Harot using testkit. sa loveyourself bluementrit cor remedios st. but i still have a rashes at nanginginig pa rin aq. Hindi b pwd magkamali ang testkit nila? i doubt na bka d pa sapat ang 3 mos. between sep9 to dec11 so plano ko ulitin sana this week. Should i rely on this?
Bahala ka sa buhay mo kung ayaw mo maniwala sa test after the window period.
Yes po…conclusive na po yon..
Ask ko lng po saan my free meds for syphilis manila area. Lng
Hi how did you know that you have syphilis?
Following your question also
Comm3n sense i test3d postive with it
Copy and paste from Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
The window period varies from person to person, and is also different depending upon the type of HIV test. Most HIV tests are antibody tests. It takes time for the body to produce enough antibodies for an HIV test to show that a person has HIV. The soonest an antibody test will detect infection is 3 weeks. Most, but not all people will develop detectable antibodies within 3 to 12 weeks of infection.
Most, but not all people will make enough antigens and antibodies for fourth generation or combination tests to accurately detect infection 13 to 42 days after infection.
Most, but not all people will have enough HIV in their blood for a NAT test to detect infection 7 to 28 days after infection. This is during the time when someone has acute HIV infection.
Antibody test in 4 weeks at negative, masasabi na po ba na walang HIV at good sign naba yung?

Not all people can develop antibodies within 23 to 90 days. If one wants peace of mind, tests after 90 days will give conclusive results.
But good sign naba yun?
Good sign po in?
Talaga lang ha?
Hi Zat i have the same question. I had my hiv test dec 15, and its negative it is my 4weeks after sex but the doctor said need to wait after 3 months to make it sure pero sobrang naprapraning na ako
Hi sofie! Among sabi ng doctor sa 4 weeks na test?
Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Sofie wrote “ but the doctor said need to wait after 3 months to make it sure…” and I wrote “ tests after 90 days will give conclusive results.”.
Why don’t you see a medical professional?
Antibody test in 60 days at negative, masasabi na po ba na walang HIV at good sign naba yun?
I don’t understand why people are scared doing HIV TEST.. and still asking about symptoms. It’s better to know the result earlier, than knowing it later. What if Positive ka? Pero takot ka magpatest? Baka madevelop pa yan to Aids, mas lalong malala. HIV lang yan. You won’t die if you have a proper medication, you can live normally, have your own family. Go get yourself tested for you to know
. Don’t rely on symptoms.
Posible po kaya na magkapalit mga blood na tinetest nila sa mga hospital or lab?
That’s negligence
Una mong tinanong tungkol sa pag reuse ng syringe.. Ngayon naman pagkakapalit ng blood sample. Ano ba tingin mo sa kanila? Tanga? Tsk tsk. Doon mo sa knila itanong yan ewan ko nalang isasagot sayo.
Hi po ask ko.lang po if parehas lang po ng symptoms ang hiv at syphilis po. Slamat po
Sa doktor ka magtanong. Kung wala kang time, google mo. This page is not STI encyclopaedia.
75days after exposure NR. Accurate na??
For sensitive test like NAT, window period is from 10 to 33 days. For antibody tests, window period is 23 to 90 days.
Ano sa tingin mo?
Hello po, last july po ung contact ko sa isang girl. Alam ko pong malaking kasalan nagawa sa gf ko. Inamin ko na po sa kanya at natanggap nya po ako ulit. Decber na po ngayon almost 5mnths na at panay po yung fatigue ko, weak, may rashes ako pero nagpa check up ako at ni resetahan ng gamot ay nawala po yung rashes ko. Mga 2mnths na po akong di makatulog ng mabuti. Help po ols. Respct and salamt po sa sasagot.
Magpatest ka. Yan ang mabuting gawin. Wala naman magdadiagnose sayo dito.
Bawasan mo ang kape para makatulog ka.
Ask ko lang. Tingin niyo po meron dito sa pilipinas na hispital or mga diagnoticts testing laboratory na nagrereused ng onjection or syringe. Nagpatest kasi ako few months ago CBC. Sa takot ko napapikit na lang ako at di ko na check kung bago yung injection?
Re-using a syringe is very unhygienic. Walang ospital/clinics ang gumagawa niyan. Protocol na kapag nagamit na ay ididispose na.
Diba po isa sa mga pinag aaralan nila ang tamang pag disposed ng mga syringes
Sa mga nagtatanong at nagre-rely sa so-called symptoms ng HIV, good luck sa mga buhay nyo. Mapraning kayo ng bonggang-bongga. Flu, fatigue, mouth sores, swollen lymph nodes are not exclusive to HIV infection. If unprotected vaginal or anal penetration happened, that is exposure and it puts you at risk. Get tested after the window period.
The only way to determine infection is through testing. With HIV, there shouldn’t be any guessing.
Hello may i ask so bawal mag patest kapag lately ka lang nakipag sex?
Hindi naman bawal.. Hindi nga lang conclusive ang result na makukuha mo.. Much better kung after ng window period ka magpatest..
For sensitive test like NAT, window period is from 10 to 33 days. For antibody tests, window period is 23 to 90 days.
Agree ako sayo.. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW YOUR STATUS IS TO GET TESTED. DO NOT RELY ON SYMPTOMS..
Kung hawakan PO Ng kamay Ang genitals may risk?
At Kung nagkiskisan pero naka shorts at nagkayakapan
None.Please search mode of transmission.
For successful transmission of the virus, there are four conditions- ESSE. Exit. Sufficiency. Survival. Entry. Watch the videos of loveyourself for more informations.
san po yung pinaka malapit na free hospital na nag tetest ng hiv po ??
Depende sa location mo
Depends on your location
Hello im Domz saan ba pwde bumili ng pang test ng hiv di ko alam baka one of the day possitive ako gusto ko lang isure if safe ba sila o ako
4 beses na po ko may na sex sa 2 walker na babae pero may condom ako na dala, meaning din po ba may HIV na rin ba ako nag-aalala na po kci ako.
Kung sa tingin mo safe sila okay lng yan.. Dapat humihingi ka ng hiv test para mas sure… Taker din ako pero ngayon hindi na magjowa ka nalng brad
Hello po, last july po ung contact ko sa isang girl. Alam ko pong malaking kasalan nagawa sa gf ko. Inamin ko na po sa kanya at natanggap nya po ako ulit. Decber na po ngayon almost 5mnths na at panay po yung fatigue ko, weak, may rashes ako pero nagpa check up ako at ni resetahan ng gamot ay nawala po yung rashes ko. Mga 2mnths na po akong di makatulog ng mabuti. Help po ols. Respct and salamt po sa sasagot.
Kung nagcondom ka at maayos naman ang pagkakagamit mo, meaning hindi nasira o nabutas yung condom, i’d say you’re safe.. Pero kung may doubt ka, wala naman mawawala kung magpapatest ka.. Good luck!
Hi question what if nilagnat 2 weeks after ng sex pero may na diagnose ako na may spasm lang? Negative naba yon?
If you had an unprotected sex and tingin mo na expose ka sa virus, magpatest ka 3 months after possible exposure.. Wala naman masama doon.. HIV doesn’t have specific symptoms.. Get tested to know your status..
Hi if magpapatest ako after ilang araw lang makipag sex makikita kaya kung positive or negative on HIV??
4-12 weeks exposure.. Or 3 months pa test ka
sharing my result, i read it at 5 minutes palang… positive na agad. After 20 minutes still positive. does this mean positive ako? Fujibio po gamit ko.
May symptoms ka po ba? If wala try mo ulit.. Or punta kana sa clinic para mabigyan ka ng gamot at advices at ma guide ka
Yes that is positive. Go to RITM for confirmatory..
This is positive.. Go to RITM for confirmatory..
That is positive. Go to RITM for confirmatory.
That’s positive. Go to RITM for confirmatory
This is positive. Go to RITM for confirmatory
Possible. Pero try ka 2nd opinion
Maari po bang magkaroon ka ng hv kapag sti ka??
Pag hindi mo na aagapan pwede mauwi sa hiv… At depende may mga std na hindi na nagagamot.. Loke herpes.. Hsv1 or hsv2
The only way to know is to get yourself tested.
Though my opinion is you probably has it. Again, get yourself tested.
pwede naba magpa test kahit 4 weeks palang after inter course ?
May mga symptoms po ba after 4 to 5 months ang Hiv? At kung meron ano po ang iba na mga symptoms?
Fever and fatigue for 1 to 2 weeks.. Swollen lymph nodes.. Kung sa ari may tulo or cold sores sa oral neck lymp nodes sore thoat mouth ulcers… Minsan pwede ding walang symptoms
QWERTY. May rashes paba na lumalabas after 3 months?
Dont rely on symptoms.. Get yourself tested. Tanong kayo ng tanong ng symptoms..pinapraning niyo lang sarili niyo. HIV DOESN’T HAVE SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS. GO GET TESTED.
I agree. All these so called symptoms are not reliable and misleading. Fever, mouth sores etc are not exclusive to HIV infection. If exposed to unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the ONLY way to determine infection is through testing.
Hi po ask.ko lang po if may epekto po ba sa kuko ang hiv po? Thanks po
Gelo 92, magpatingin ka po sa doctor.. Magpatest din para malaman ang status.
All these so called symptoms are not reliable and misleading. Fever, mouth sores etc are not exclusive to HIV infection. If exposed to unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the ONLY way to determine infection is through testing.
Maaring po bng magkaroon ng HIV khit saglit nya lang ipinasok sa anal prang sinubukan lng ipasok tpos first timer
Depende kung may gonorrhea, chlamydia or hsv(herpes) sa private part basta skin to skin contact mataas ang risk.. Sometimes It takes time to show symptoms..
Maliki risk pag skin to skin contant.. Kung makati or may sugat ka sa anus patingin mo na agad
HIV infection does not depend on the presence of other STI. Successful infection is determined by ESSE- exit, sufficiency, survival and entry. Whether it’s a quick penetration or not doesn’t matter. Check the videos of loveyourself and learn more about ESSE and the infection. Their information are more reliable compared to what you are getting from here. So, asking for symptoms won’t help. It will only make you paranoid. Get tested when exposed to unprotected vaginal or anal penetration, short or quick. Gets?
Goodmorning po possible po ba mag karoon ka n seeg STD and HIV at the same time??
Closed ba talaga yung loveyourself anglo ng monday and tues? And 12pm talaga sila nag start ?
Thanks sa mga sasagot na nakapag test na dun

Depende pag hindi agad nabigyan ng treatment.. The virus will attack your immune system
Kung nagka sti ka that means nag unprotected sex ka.. And having unprotected sex ay possible exposure.. Go get tested.
Pag hinawakan mo pa Ng kamay Yung Ari mo may risk na po ba Yun???
Or nagkiskisan kayo Ng genitals?
Pwede pag may sugat or something like gonorrhea etc.
Pwede pag may sugat sa part nya like gonorrhea etc
Eh Kung hawakan??

Isa ang blood transfusion sa mga way para mahawa ka ng HIV. Pero ang alam ko lahat ng blood na ginagamit sa hospital ay na iiscreening bago nila gamitin. DOH na mismo nagsabi nian.
Isa ang blood transfussion na pwede ka mahawa ng HIV. Pero lahat po ng ginagamit sa hospital para sa blood transfussion ay dinadaan muna sa lahat ng screening. Ayon yan sa DOH.
diyos ko sana nga po natatakot tlga ako para sa anak ko. slmat nmn at my sumagot sakin thankyou
Im lesbian at may GF ako. Nagsex kami. May gamit kami at iisang dildo lang gamit namin habang nagsesex. Kung positive 1 sa amin. May chance ba na makahawa ng HIV sa ganitong way??? Salamat
Tara threesome hehe
Yes, the risk is hight buy get yourself tested; for peace of mind; after 3 months from initial testing while refraining from any possible contact, safe or unsafe, pa test ka uli if negative pa rin, then you are negative.
Hi. Kapag may symptoms ka po ba na napapansin, mga 5 weeks pagtapos ng risk,pwede na po ba magpatest na libre po?
Thank you
Kpag po sa RITM ng pa test tapos reactive issend pa po ba un sa san lazaro?
Panu pag pa test sa RITM. free po ba.. nag aalala din po ako kasi sa status ko my symtoms po ako nakita ng kaka rahes po ako at. Pinag papawisan ng grabe..
ano itsura ng rushes mo?
Hi Depanx:
Usually 12weeks (3 months) to be assured that the test is effective OR the result of the test is credible. But you can get yourself tested as early as now if getting tested would make calm. Then go back after 2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, etc and until you reach the 12-13th week after the suspected hiv exposure/contact.
Tests are free and no limit.
sobrang stress n ako. 8days n nung last sex ko. wla nmn ako lagnat pero sobrang init ng pakiramdam ko yung feeling n parang mag kakalagnat k. pwede n po b mag p test kht 8 days plang from possible exposure?

Mag pa hiv test ka para sure.. And oral swab para malaman kung mag positive ka..
Hi alam ko paranoid lang ako, ang hirap kasi iwasan lalo na sa kakaisip ng symptoms o kaya kakahantay na lumabas, lumalabas nga sila. Nag pa hiv test na ko 6weeks after ng possible exposure ko and in a couple of weeks nlng nman mag more than 3 mos na. I just need some reassurance or i mean makakausap na nakaranas ng almost lahat ng symptoms and turns out to be NR padin after 3 mos. What are chances of getting a positive result from 6 weeks to 3 mos for hiv test? Is it high?
Common symptoms po ay fever na 1 to 2 weeks and fatigue pagod ka kahit wala ka namang ginagawa.. Wag kang ma stress na meron kng hiv.. Be positvie lng po pag nr nr.. 97% ata accuracy ng test kit tiwala lng iwasan nalang makipag intercourse sa hindi kilala para safe
Salamat Qwerty, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
wag na pong stressin ang sarili kung negative result namn after more than 3 months using test kits wala namn dapat ikabahala conclusive na po un meaning negative ka even nlng kung makipagsex ka ulit ng hindi moalam kung negative sya or possitive

Hi my partner and I got intercourse last friday and saturday and around sunday sabi nya biglag namaga yung private part nya (boy) i dont know kung nasobrahan or what. Pero way way back nag ka infection na din sya sabi possible thru oral daw. So nag pacheck ako wala naman nakita sa lab ko. Tingin ko mas okay na sa testing center na. Any advice po. Bother na din ako. Kasi ako sinisisi nya. Wala kasi akong na encounter na gnitong prob sa previous partner ko
