Advocates push for transformation in AIDS Response
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) advocates are calling for a transformed, more resilient response amid rising HIV and AIDS infections and looming funding constraints. During a press conference led by Athena by LoveYourself and AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for the upcoming World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, advocates from various sectors highlighted that the persistent stigma and significant reductions in international funding have hindered the fight in addressing HIV/AIDS. According to the Department of Health (DOH), HIV/AIDS cases increased by 22 percent from the same time last year. The majority of new infections are among Filipinos aged 15 to 34 years old.
