AIDS WATCH: 217 Young Filipinos age 15-24 tested HIV positive in 2009
What future awaits the 217 young Filipinos age 15-24 who tested HIV positive in 2009 in the Philippines?
What would be their lives and the lives of many Young Filipinos whom until now are prisoners of their rights to comprehensive reproductive health and sexuality education?
Are we just going to watch as the number increases?
Or we need to do something before it hurts our nation.
THINK OF IT!
