What is HIV?

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). This virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact.

In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast-feeding. People with HIV infection will most likely develop AIDS as a result of the infection.

Status in the Philippines

The status of HIV/Aids and Malaria in the country is relatively low compared to the other countries.

From 1984 to 2006 about 11,200 people were living with aids. It was reported by UNAIDS (United Nations Program on HIV) that there had been an epidemic on Aids. This is because there is a large sex industry in the country, though casual sex among the youth, the jobs and the use of condoms are low.

It was reported that at least six Filipinos are infected with HIV every week.

Recent figures on HIV and AIDS cases suggest the infection has spread, not reversed. However, in spite of these new cases, the national target of keeping the prevalence rate at less than one percent of the population remains within target.

Page 6: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

This shows the increase in HIV/AIDS cases from the year 1984 up to the most recent report in 2009 but in the

2009 MDG report, the rate of HIV/AIDS cases was 0.007%, an increase from the previous 0.0014% in 2006

Page 7: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

In 2003, the record of men (15-24 years old) who use condoms at last higher-risk sex is 24.6% while women were at 11%

The most recent account (2009) also showed the percentage of women who use condoms at last higher-risk sex is 13%. Though there was no record of males

Back in 2003, the rate of men with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS was 17.6% while women were at 11.8%

In a more recent report (2009), the rate of women with comprehensive knowledge of this disease was 21%

Page 8: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

As time progressed, more and more people with HIV infection have received

treatment for the disease

What is Malaria?

Malaria is a mosquit0-borne infectious disease, common in tropical climates and can cause the affected to fall under comatose and soon enough, die

It is also common in third world countries Though this can now be treated with

medication, malaria often recurs after a while

Page 10: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

Status in the Philippines

Malaria was the 8th leading cause of morbidity in the Philippines years back

This 4-year average of the rate of Malaria cases in the 3 main islands of the Philippines shows that Luzon is the most affected area with 55%. Mindanao follows

with 44% while Visayas is the least affected with only 1%

Since 2008, malaria hasn’t been a problem faced by the people. Very few are affected by this disease

The death rates don’t actually mean zero but because there are so few, it was counted as negligible

Page 14: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

Current status in the Philippines

Recent statistics however showed that malaria is no longer part of the top 10 leading causes of mortality in the Philippines

As of 2010, the top 10 are:1. Heart diseases2. Stroke3. Cancer4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases5. Road accidents and injuries6. Diabetes7. Dengue fever8. Maternal deaths9. Kidney failure10. Perinatal conditions

Page 15: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

Other Diseases

There are other diseases in the country such as TB or tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a contagious, air-borne disease. The bacteria which causes this illnesses damages the immune system so greatly that it makes the affected more prone to other illnesses

It was the fifth leading cause of death in 1995

Status in the Philippines

Based on the statistics shown, TB cases in the Philippines are becoming more controlled because all incidence, prevalence, and death rates have decreased and are in fact the lowest rating since the year 2000

In addition to that, the detection rate of TB under directly observed treatment short course also increased, meaning it has become easier to be aware and diagnose TB cases

Solution

Republic Act 8504 promotes AIDS education, mandates a multisectoral response that involves marginalized groups, promotes confidentiality, prohibits discrimination, and proscribes mandatory testing.

The government also plans to provide medicine to those suffering from these diseases yet it is hard to achieve this due to the lack of funds.

The governments plans to give mosquito nets to those living near the sewages and dirty rivers.

The government is also trying to make the people more aware about these diseases.

Page 21: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

Will the country be able to achieve this goal by 2015?

It has been said that the Philippines has been missing the targets rather than hitting the targets of the MDG goals. The Philippines is actually falling back based on statistics.

The lack of funds, poverty and lack of awareness of many of the citizens in the country hinder us from achieving this goal. It is true that the government has been trying to find ways to be able to achieve this goal yet there are many halts to it.

As said by NSCB Secretary General Romulo A. “However, the country is either years behind on the first six goals or have mixed results in the sub-targets, according to NSCB data.”

Page 22: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

By 2015?

On MDG Goal No. 6, or combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, the Philippines is 4.2 and 5.4 years ahead of target, managing to reverse the prevalence and death rates associated with the diseases, according to NSCB data

This is considering that the HIV/AIDS rate manages to stay consistent and remain under 1.0%

Page 23: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

What should the government do?

Allocate funds for this goal Distribute mosquito nets, Educate the unaware especially the young

teenagers who engage in sex nowadays, Tests should also be done for everyone’s

safety Clean the country’s

atmosphere/environment since pollution is one of the factors for the spread of the disease

Page 24: Combat Against HIV/Aids, Malaria and other diseases

Analysis

Based on the data, the Philippines can reach the 6th MDG of combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases

We believe so because 2 out of the 3 targets are inclining towards achieving this goal. There is only one target which needs more work and if the HIV/AIDS cases in the country manages to keep its current rate, the Philippines will be able to fully achieve MDG #6
