Supply Side Analysis of Social Hygiene Clinics and Treatment Hubs as Providers of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection-related Care and Services in the Philippines Setting: Revised Final Report

The epidemiology of HIV infection in the Philippines has shifted dramatically in the last five years. A combination of increased risk behavior among young Filipinos, low levels of knowledge regarding HIV transmission and prevention, and underfunded HIV prevention and treatment programs may have led to a rapid rise in HIV incidence and prevalence. Much of the increase in HIV transmission appears to have occurred among young men who have sex with men (MSM) and persons who use intravenous drugs (PWID) in major urban centers.
