If I know anyone who is HIV+:
Yes
My feelings towards people living with HIV (PLHIV):
They should not be condemned for anything. They need understanding and care. They are also humans who are entitled to their own rights and a life with love and respect.
If I've tried taking an HIV Antibody Test:
No
If I would like to know my HIV status, and why:
Sure. There's nothing wrong with knowing your HIV status. The more you are fully aware with your own condition, the more actions can be done to fight against it.
MY COMMITMENTS: What I can contribute to STOP AIDS and make a difference in this world:
PROPER information dissemination is the best way to battle out this issue. We should be aware, active, and be fully informed about the dimensions of AIDS. It should start from each and everyone of us. Take time to be an advocate.
My ideas or opinions about Republic Act 8504:
Not duly implemented.
