00:00 It's rare to have a serious and necessary action
00:05 to increase the number of cases of HIV-positive youth.
00:09 That's the goal of the health department.
00:11 And it's been pointed out by Mackie Pulido.
00:13 Gina is 13 years old.
00:18 She didn't have a real name when she first got HIV.
00:20 She only had a condom.
00:23 She was told that the transactions were done by dating apps and social media.
00:27 Once you chat someone, you're willing to have sex with them.
00:33 As long as you agree to have sex,
00:38 boom, something will happen.
00:41 Gina is 17 years old when she got HIV.
00:45 She knows about HIV, but because she doesn't have a deep understanding of it,
00:49 she didn't use protection.
00:51 I know that it's contagious,
00:54 but I'm not aware that it's a snap.
01:00 If I had sex earlier, I would have gotten the disease.
01:06 The Department of Health is now worried about the increase in the number of HIV-positive youth.
01:11 Out of 50 new cases every day,
01:13 almost half are between the ages of 15 and 24.
01:17 More than 2,000 and 2,000 from January to May this year,
01:21 more than 1,800 at the same time in 2022.
01:26 This is an issue that the DOH and the Department of Education are discussing.
01:31 There should be a lot of education that some diseases can be transmitted to risky behavior.
01:37 Aside from education in schools, according to Kael's advocate,
01:41 it's also important to have youth who have a condom when they're not being judged.
01:46 If they really want to have sex, they will do that.
01:49 So instead of stopping them,
01:52 why not giving them opportunity or access to protect themselves?
01:56 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for 24 Hours.
