🧼🦠 National Infection Prevention and Control Week
📅 July 6–12 | 🇵🇭 Philippines

Let’s protect each other—one clean hand, one safe practice at a time. 💪

This National Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Week, we shine a spotlight on the crucial role of hand hygiene, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe waste disposal, and responsible antibiotic use in keeping our communities healthy and resilient.

Hospitals, clinics, and even homes must be strongholds of safety. Whether you're a healthcare worker or simply someone who cares about family and community, your actions matter.

🧴 Wash hands regularly
😷 Wear masks when needed
💉 Get vaccinated
🗑️ Dispose of waste properly
💊 Use antibiotics wisely

Together, let’s make infection prevention everyone’s responsibility.

❤️‍🩹 Know Your Status. Get Tested for HIV.
📍 Because early detection saves lives.

HIV doesn’t always show symptoms—and the only way to know for sure is through testing. Getting tested is quick, confidential, and often free in many clinics and health centers across the country.

🏥 Why get tested?
✅ Early detection leads to early treatment
✅ People with HIV can live long, healthy lives with proper care
✅ You protect not just yourself, but your partners and your loved ones

📅 Make HIV testing part of your routine health check.
No shame. No stigma. Just care. 💙

📲 Visit your nearest health center or HIV treatment hub today.

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.
