Alam mo ba na ang isang PrEP bottle na naghahalagang PHP 1,500 ay maaaring makuha nang libre sa mga DOH HIV care facilities? 💊🏥

Kaya magpa-HIV test upang malaman ang iyong HIV status:
➖ Kung negatibo, magpakonsulta sa doktor para makakuha ng PrEP.
➕ Kung positibo, sumunod sa tamang gamutan o antiretroviral therapy.

Isang paalala ngayong National HIV Prevention Awareness Month.
