More About Me:

A Youth Advocate.

If I know anyone who is HIV+:

No

My feelings towards people living with HIV (PLHIV):

What they have doesn't totally define them as a person. They may live with HIV but doesn't mean they should be deprived of their rights. They are still humans like us. The only difference thought is that they have HIV while we don't, but boo hoo...that doesn't still give us the right to discriminate them

If I've tried taking an HIV Antibody Test:

No

If I would like to know my HIV status, and why:

Yup. even if i dont have i still want to try jst to experience how its like to be examined.^^

MY COMMITMENTS: What I can contribute to STOP AIDS and make a difference in this world:

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION. I firmly believe that people will be prevented from acquiring these disease if they are well-educated and knowledgeable about it. That people will be more responsible of their actions and that they can, as individual, do something to fight against the fast widespread of HIV/AIDS. As a youth advocate, we are maintaining a strong foundation in our community in reaching out to our fellow young people the ideals that we are advocating. We are one on these fight.

My ideas or opinions about Republic Act 8504:

Its good that we have these Law.That our government made their move to help fight these pandemic killer. RA 8504 or the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998 would really be beneficial to all the people not only those who are living with HIV but to all because HIV/AIDS knows no boundaries and it chooses no one.
