A drop of HIV-positive blood.
Would you step back and move away from it?
The HIV epidemic in the Philippines has been described as “explosive,”
with the fastest rate of increase in new HIV cases globally. While other
countries have managed their HIV epidemics and are now witnessing a significant
decline in the number of new cases, the Philippines has recorded sharply
increasing rates of new infections.
An HIV awareness campaign that aims to reduce the stigma
associated with HIV through the innovative HIV-Positive Poster will be holding
its Tour de Pilipinas, visiting key sites in the country starting this
February. The HIV-Positive Poster, which is one of the main features of the
awareness campaign, is made with a drop of HIV-positive blood.
The HIV posters were originally developed by Grupo de
Incentivo a Vida (GIV), a non-government organization based in Brazil. Made
with a drop of blood donated by a person living with HIV (PLHIV), the posters
carry messages that explain how HIV is transmitted, and underscore that people
can NOT get HIV from the poster, or
from casual contact with a PLHIV. The HIV-Positive Poster campaign has won international
awards such as the Bronze Lion at the
prestigious Cannes Film Festival – Press Category. The poster was first released in Asia (in the
Philippines) by Pedal for HIV, in partnership with GIV – Life Support Group.
- Tour de Pilipinas, organized by Pedal for HIV and GIV, aims to:
- Increase visibility of the HIV Positive Poster
- Provide information on HIV
- Empower the youth to became advocates
- Reduce HIV stigma & discrimination
Faustine Luell T. Angeles Jr., founder of Pedal for HIV,
will be travelling to key sites together with two representatives from the
Brazil-based GIV – Life Support Group. Tour de Pilipinas will have the
following schedule:
Banaue
– 16 February
Palawan
–23 February
Cebu –
1 March
Boracay

The specific venues in these locations will be announced

Tour de Pilipinas is organized in partnership with The Red
Whistle, an HIV awareness campaign that uses the arts and social media in its
advocacy to normalize HIV and AIDS. Sponsored by Premiere Condoms, Spyder

Hi, I work in a communication company I want to share my testimony to the world, my name is Doris pinto, i am from united kingdom in belfast north ireland, I was a stripper in a club I got effected with HIV due to the nature of my job, In april 15 2013 i was tested positive to HIV, Believe it or not this is a true life experience. This is not design to convince you but its just a personal health experience . I never taught doctor Abija could ever get my HIV-AIDS cured with his healing spell, i have tried almost everything but I couldn't find any solution on my disease, despite all these happening to me, i always spend a lot to buy a HIV drugs from hospital and taking some several medications but no relieve, until one day i was just browsing on the internet when i came across a great post of !Michelle! who truly said that she was been diagnose with HIV and was healed that very week through the help of this great powerful healing spell doctor ,I wonder why he is called the great papa Abija, i never knew it was all because of the great and perfect work that he has been doing that is causing all this. so I quickly contacted him, and he ask me some few questions and so i did all the things he asked me to do, He never collected any money from me until I was finally cured, only to see that at the very day which he said i will be healed, all the strength that has left me before rush back and i becomes very strong and healthy, this disease almost kills my life all because of me, so i went to hospital to give the final test to the disease and the doctor said i am HIV negative, i am very amazed and happy about the healing doctor Abija gave to me from the ancient part of Africa, you can email him now for your own healing too on his email: spirituallighthealing101@live.com thank you doctor for healing me from HIV.
