Meanwhile, reporting CSOs provided HIV testing/ screening services through their facilities and catered to a total of 6,288 young key affected population who were tested and informed of their HIV status. Additionally, there were 2,117 KAP screened and managed for STI; 2,499 KAP referred for STI detection and management; 36 KAP referred for HIV testing and management; and 2,955 KAP who availed of condoms and lubricants. A total of 64 health service providers delivered STI and HIV-AIDS services in 2019. to the needs of PLHIV. Apart from empowering HIV/AIDS service providers, this training was also designed to recognize the critical role of PLHIV in the prevention, care, and removal of barriers to accessing HIV/AIDS information and services. C. Logistics Apart from aggressive advocacy campaigns, DOH also put emphasis on staffing their facilities with sufficient number of case managers and community health workers. These service providers underwent HIV proficiency trainings to equip them with the right technical, emotional and mental competency to provide high quality HIV/ AIDS related services. DOH also augmented the funds of the regions to sustain the operation of the facilities. Tantamount to increased access to HIV/AIDS related services is ensuring consistent and ample supply of HIV/AIDS commodities in the treatment hubs for those needing it. In 2019, although the supply of commodities at the treatment facilities hit critical levels, DOH is proud to say that no stock-out of HIV/AIDS commodities happened in all of the treatment hubs throughout the year. At the regional level, DOH anchored their trainings on four key areas: (1) Reaching out to Key Populations; (2) HIV Counseling and Testing; (3) Enrollment to ART; and (4) Program Management. CSOs contributed in the effort through the training of 24 health services providers (HSPs) on STI detection and management, and 40 health service providers on HIV/AIDS counseling and services. D. Governance and Systems Capacity building As a critical component in curbing the rise of HIV cases in the country, DOH pursued strategies to increase the capacity of systems, infrastructure and personnel to enable optimal delivery of critical prevention, treatment, care and support interventions. Among these is forging partnerships with local government units (LGUs) to help them establish their own Social Hygiene Clinics (SHC) or “sundown clinics” capable of providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS health care. In 2019, there were 153 recorded SHCs across the country providing HIV prevention, testing and treatment services primarily to key affected populations. Based on HARP data, as of June 2019, 15 percent (6,974) of the total number of PLHIV initiated on ART did not continue treatment or lost contact. To address this concern, DOH conducted Adherence Counseling Trainings to capacitate service providers and grassroots support systems to adapt experiences and learning as well as continue innovating responses that are sensitive In addition, the Philippine NGO Council on Population Health and Welfare developed the “Philippine HIV/AIDS Field Worker’s Toolkit for Behavior Change Communication”, aimed as a guide for community health outreach workers and case managers in the delivery of quality ReachScreen-Test-Enroll-Adhere (RSTEA) services, and in achieving DOH program targets. Monitoring and Evaluation To improve the monitoring and surveillance systems of HIV/AIDS incidence in the country, comprehensive data gathering, on-the-ground monitoring, and inventory systems and practices based on the AIDS epidemic model has been put in place. Moreover, HARP publishes online monthly reports accesible to everyone. DOH also enjoined the LGUs to establish or reactivate their Local AIDS Councils (LACs) to promote synergy between the LGUs and the 80 2019 Annual Report Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012
