DAVAO CITY—The city council on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus has appealed to the public to “normalize” the HIV testing as those of the other baseline medical tests conducted periodically on individuals.
The appeal was issued as the city and the Davao Region saw as alarming the number of infections of the HIV, which causes the dreaded Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome .
“We are trying to promote the test, in fact, we have differentiated service delivery in terms of testing. There is the facility-based testing, community-based screening, and the option of self-testing,” said “We want to inform everyone that HIV testing is the same as those baseline tests that you can take for you to know your status because we are campaigning for the U=U. If your viral root is already undetectable, then it is already non-transmittable. By knowing your status, you will be able to know how to protect yourself and how to protect others,” Trangia said.
