HIV/AIDS and ART Registry of the Philippines: June 2021

In June 2021, there were 1,496 confirmed HIV-positive individuals reported to the HIV/AIDS & ART Registry of the Philippines (HARP). This was two times higher compared to the same time period last year (490). The increase in the number of diagnosed HIV cases this month was due to the inclusion of delayed reports from previous months. Sixteen percent (232) had clinical manifestations of advanced HIV infection at the time of testing.
