Although most HIV infection cases have turned up in major urban areas nationwide, almost all the provinces in the countrys 17 regions are reporting HIV cases.

 HIV and AIDS peaked globally in 1999 and has been declining in many parts of the world. However, HIV cases are rising in the Philippines as doubling time continues to shorten to 2 years from 2007 to 2009, and to only a year from 2009 to 2010. That trend continues to this day.

 Educating the public on HIV and AIDS is crucial to the effectiveness of the country response. Greater knowledge of the disease will lessen stigma and discrimination that impede efforts to halt its spread. It would also help empower people to pursue behavior change.
