DoH broadens HIV shield, includes foreign tourists

The Department of Health (DoH) said it has expanded its HIV prevention campaign to include foreign travelers, aiming to reduce local transmission, address regional gaps and encourage more people to undergo testing.
The department said free, confidential HIV prevention and testing services are available to both Filipinos and foreign tourists at DoH-accredited HIV treatment hubs and testing facilities nationwide.
Services include counseling, HIV screening, and the provision of condoms, lubricants, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP).
