HIV and AIDS: In April 2017, there were 629 new HIV antibody sero-positive individuals reported to the HIV/ AIDS & ART Registry of the Philippines (HARP). More than half were from the 25-34 year age group while 30% were youth aged 15-24 years. 33 adolescents aged 10-19 years were reported. All were infected through sexual contact (8 male-female sex, 19 male-male sex, 6 sex with both males & females). From January 1984 to April 2017, 1,606 (4%) of the reported cases were 19 years old and below. Seven percent (111 out of 1,606) were children (less than 10 y/o) and among them, 108 were infected through mother-to-child transmission, 1 through blood transfusion and 2 had no specified mode of transmission. Ninety three percent (1,495 out 1,606) were adolescents. Among these, 1,359 (91%) were male. Most (93%) of the adolescents were infected through sexual contact 185 male-female sex, 843 male-male sex, 367 sex with both males & females), 85 (6%) were infected through sharing of infected needles, 8 (<1%) through mother-to-child transmission, and 7 had no specified mode of transmission.
