AIDS Awareness in Bohol
« on: December 06, 2010, 04:48:36 AM »
INFORMATION about the dreaded human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome neatly packed in a five video music television would soon be shown at public places in Bohol.

This as the Provincial HIV AIDS Multi-sectoral Council (PHAMC) has launched for public viewing Wednesday December 1, the MTV which is hoped to elevate awareness of the disease that has since killed some 1.8 million across the globe, most of the victims from lower and middle income countries.
 
December 1 is also the World AIDS Day, a day instituted by the World Health Organization to commemorate those who died of the disease as well as to drum up information and awareness on the fatal disease, which effective cure has not been discovered.
 
According to the Provincial HIV AIDS Campaign Coordinator Dr. Fruserma Mary Uy, the PHAMC has lobbied for the information material to be played during movie screening breaks, but there has to be a reformatting of the disk into reel form for it to be shown in between movie breaks.
 
At the launching of the HIV AIDS Video material, Dr. Uy urged people to give about five minutes of attention to the video which will soon be seen at port, airport and bus terminals, mall televisions and public viewing venues to engender people to be more cautious about HIV and AIDS.
 
In he message before the video showing at the launching, Dr. Uy reiterates the ABCs against AIDS to keep people protected from the virus that has become a global threat since late 1980s.
 
Dr. Uy explained that by far, the most effective HIV AIDS prevention is to abstain from any sexual activity, the primary source of the virus transmission.
 
Association of Municipal Health Officers of the Philippines (AMHOP) president Dr. Jude Doblas also shares this idea although he may have courted the ire of some sectors when he proposed self-gratification as one that lets people vent their biological needs.
 
Fr. Ramon Jose Oncog, a canon lawyer and the representative of the church during the program at the launch advocated faithfulness to the marital vows as he presses that love-making should be the fulfillment of love.
 
An AIDS prevention tip as Dr Uy pointed out, specifically on condom use did not fail to elicit reactions, even from medical practitioners.
 
Nevertheless, health practitioners, especially anti AIDS advocates said the AIDS virus may logically get through the invisible holes in condoms but the inter-molecular bonds in the latex prevents them from fully penetrating the rubber sheath.
 
As research shows more and more transmission come from intra-venal drug use, Dr Uy also cautions against the use of unsterilized needles and contaminated blood in transfusions.
 
Finally, she also called for early treatment of sexually transmitted infections. (racPIABohol)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
