Ending HIV Stigma and spreading awareness starts with me. #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

This is also a good platform for spreading awareness because Filipinos are known to be the majority users of the online social medias. #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

Yes, the more information available, the more range will be educated. #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

2) The stigma attached to HIV blocks all progress that could've been made.

"Hala nag-condom = HIV"
"Hala nagpatest = HIV"
"Hala bayot = HIV"

Because it's taboo and not normalized, it continues to NOT be a topic of discussion, but of dirty gossip #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

#cnuvsmmcmicrobio
In these trying times, I would be a med student dedicated to sharing awareness of HIV whether in public or private to help information dissemination about treatment, testing, and prevention to be one of the contributors in fighting the STIGMA. #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

3. Safe sex education and practices are still not employed as well as HIV awareness needs to be strengthened to end the STIGMA.

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

#cnuvsmmcmicrobio
There are a lot of challenges when it comes to the HIV problem.
1. A lot has no access to prevention, treatment, and care especially in the very distant communities in the mountainous areas.

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

#cnuvsmmcmicrobio
2. HIV Stigma is still rampant. When a neighbor/ known person is diagnosed, the community would discriminate and worse, isolate them. This also increases depression rates with HIV-positive people.

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

@louierel Yes but still a lot of hubs and clinics are needed to be established in very rural areas.

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

Even though awareness about HIV has been advocated, the stigma of HIV-positive is still rampant thus a lot are hesitant to get tested. #cnuvsmmcmicrobio

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]

Here in Cebu, especially in the city, it is still a problem. From the previous statistics, Region 7 ranked 5th in the country and recently, we are now the 4th which is quite alarming.

[Jaya Brizo @jayacbzo]
