00:00The public's awareness of HIV and AIDS

00:03was further expanded on World AIDS Day yesterday.

00:06This was particularly targeted at young people.

00:10Isaiah Mirapuentes was at the center of the news.

00:14Lorence has been diagnosed with HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus for 11 years.

00:20In 2013, she found out that she was infected with the virus.

00:25During the time that I was diagnosed with HIV,

00:28I faced stigma, I faced discrimination.

00:31It's because the people surrounding us are uneducated about HIV and AIDS.

00:38She admitted that her situation was not easy.

00:41One of the most painful experiences

00:44was the isolation of her companions in the company she was working for.

00:48At one point, she was separating her stuff from others.

00:52But it didn't hurt that even though her family was there,

00:56the stigma was still heavy on her.

01:00I experienced discrimination inside the household.

01:03So what I just pushed through is to keep educating my family members about HIV

01:09so that we could break that kind of stigma.

01:11But as time went by,

01:14the information about HIV gradually became clearer.

01:18Now, because of her acceptance and following some medical methods,

01:23she continues to recover from her severe calvary.

01:27Here in the Philippines, according to the Department of Health,

01:3050 people a day are diagnosed with HIV.

01:34Most of them are young people, 15 to 24 years old.

01:3994% of them are males and 6% are females.

01:44But in the second quarter of this year,

01:46the number of HIV cases in the country dropped by a lot.

01:49But...

01:50Our sexually transmitted diseases are increasing.

01:54Syphilis, gonorrhea, not just HIV.

01:59So again, risky behavior.

02:01So you can't just prepare.

02:04Because if you just prepare,

02:06you'll get syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

02:10The DOH aims to eliminate stigma

02:12or misperception of HIV-positive people.

02:16Stigma is usually due to lack of knowledge.

02:20And that's where your help is needed.

02:22HIV is not a new disease.

02:25It was discovered long ago, in 1983.

02:27There are already drugs for it, anti-retrovirals.

02:30The drugs are free,

02:32available in various treatment hubs in the country.

02:35On the first day of December,

02:37World AIDS Day is celebrated here in the Philippines.

02:40The World AIDS Day Walk was held.

02:43As for the various cities and government agencies,

02:46they were not affected by the rain.

02:47And they walked together on several streets

02:50in Ortega's Pasig City.

02:52HIV is not a new disease.

02:54As far as we know,

02:56a person with a feeling of being far from any discrimination

03:02and judgment can live normally.

03:03Isaiah Mirafuentes,

03:05for Pambansang TV in the new Philippines.
