OBJECTIVES:
 understand the importance of accessing local STI and
HIV testing and treatment facilities;
 demonstrate how to use resources to locate and access
local STIs and HIV testing and treatment services;
and
 develop a sense of responsibility and awareness
regarding one’s sexual health.
Sexually Transmitted
Infections (STI)
are infections that may be passed
from person to person through
unprotected sexual intercourse with a
person who has the infection.
HIV is a type of STI.
Available HIV &
STI Services and
Assessment of Risk
Available Services for You and Me
HIV and STI services that they/we may access
at Social Hygiene Clinics and other health facilities
across the Philippines. The three main focus of the
different services are:
a) HIV education
b) HIV Testing Services (HTS)
c) Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
A. HIV EDUCATION
● Emphasize the three main sources of additional
information on HIV & STI which includes adults and
older peers(Parents, MAPEH teacher, Guidance
counselor, School Physician or Nurse, Peer facilitators),
reliable websites, and clinics such as the Social Hygiene
Clinic (sometimes called City Health Clinic or
Reproductive Health & Wellness Clinic).
● Aside from information on HIV & STI, Social
Hygiene Clinics also provide free condoms and also
give additional information on how to properly use
condoms.
B. HIV Testing Services (HTS)
● HIV Testing Services (HTS) is the only way to know for sure
if you have HIV. You may get a free HIV test from any Social
Hygiene Clinic (SHC). Several hospitals and private clinics
also offer HIV testing for a corresponding fee. Pregnant
women, people with STI, and people with tuberculosis are
highly encouraged to get tested for HIV.
● Your HIV negative status may change. A person who
tested negative for HIV today may still become HIV-
positive in the future, depending on his or her
behavior (e.g. unprotected sexual intercourse,
sharing of needles during injecting drug use). It is
recommended to get tested for HIV every 3 to 6
months, especially if you engage in these risky
behaviors.
The four main steps in HTS are:
Step 1: Pre-test Counseling
A DOH-trained HIV counselor will privately:
- Assess your risks for HIV
- Provide information on HIV transmission and
prevention
- Explain the process and benefits of an HIV test
- Discuss possible test results.
Step 2: Informed Consent
● An informed consent is needed before you undergo
an HIV test – signifying that you understand the
process and the benefits of the HIV test, and that you
voluntary want to undergo HIV testing services. HIV
testing clinics may require parental consent from
minors.
Step 3: Blood Draw
● A trained medical technologist will draw some blood
from your arm or prick your finger tip, and will test
the blood for HIV. You have to wait or go back for
the results.
Step 4: Post-test Counseling
A DOH-trained HIV counselor will privately:
- Give you your HIV test result
- Explain the meaning of the result
- Discuss next steps in your care, depending on
your test result
C. Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
● Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) cannot cure a person with HIV

but it can improve his or her health. ART blocks viral
replication, thus preventing further disease progression and
immune system damage. The body’s defense (immune system)
gets a chance to recover and fewer infections occur. However,
antiretroviral therapy does not cure HIV infection.
● There are different types of antiretroviral (ARV) working
through different mechanisms to act against HIV progression
in the body. ART usually involves a combination of different
ARV. Emphasize the importance of taking ARV daily,
correctly, and consistently. However, remind your students
that aside from ART, living a healthy lifestyle is beneficial to
everyone including a person with HIV.
Understanding Risk
● The main consequences of untreated HIV are life-threatening
infections and unnecessary death, while the consequences of
untreated STI are painful, uncomfortable, or disfiguring
symptoms, and long-term complications.
● It is the sexual or injecting drug use behaviour of a person
that increases or decreases the risk or possibility of getting
infected with HIV or STI.
ACTIVITY: 2
ROLE PLAYING
Directions: Each group will conduct role
plays to simulate scenarios where
students might need to access testing or
treatment. Emphasize the importance of
communication and self-advocacy.
ACTIVITY 3:
REFLECTION:
In your journal, reflect on what you’ve
learned about accessing local STI
and HIV testing and treatment.
THANK YOU
FOR
LISTENING
