AIDS Registry
To keep track of the epidemiology of HIV and AIDS, the DOH maintained a passive surveillance system, the AIDS Registry. The registry continuously logs Western blot-confirmed HIV cases reported by hospitals, laboratories, blood banks, and clinics. Unfortunately, the number of subjects tested by year cannot be ascertained and, therefore, rates cannot be calculated. Likewise, data input into the registry is limited, because mandatory HIV testing is prohibited by Philippine laws, and voluntary counseling-and-testing services for HIV is limited. Thus, the registry may not be fully sensitive to capturing potential HIV cases.
Integrated HIV Behavioral and Serologic Surveillance (IHBSS)
In 2004, the NEC of the Department of Health and Family Health International undertook an evaluation of the current HIV surveillance system and made recommendations for adopting new methodologies and questionnaires to improve the capacity of the system to detect emerging localized epidemics and measure behaviors that put populations at risk for HIV transmission. The recommendations were accepted and the revised Integrated HIV Behavioral and Serologic Surveillance (IHBSS) system was implemented in 2005.
The overall purpose of the Philippines integrated HIV and behavioral surveillance system is to provide data to improve the country response to the epidemic with the following specific objectives:
• Quantifying the magnitude of HIV infection
• Understanding how HIV is spreading - or might potentially spread
• Assisting in HIV/AIDS program planning
• Advocating for prevention and care services
• Aiding in program evaluation

10 Years After UNGASS
The United Nations General Assembly, at its 65th session, adopted resolution /RES/65/18- of December 20, 2010 which decided, inter alia, to convene a high level meeting (HLM) from June 8-10, 2011 to undertake a comprehensive review of progress realizing the Declaration Commitment on HIV and AIDS (2001) and the Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS (2006). The Resolution further calls upon the United Nations System, including the regional commissions, to consider initiatives in support of the preparatory process and the HLM.
To contribute to the regional consultation on March 30-31, 2011 and to the preparatory process for the HLM in June 8-10, a national consultation on Universal Access to Prevention, Treatment, Care and Support was held in Fersal Place Hotel, Quezon City on March 22, 2011.
The objectives of the national consultation are to:
1. Facilitate a multisector review of progress achieved in the Philippines
2. Identify challenges, gaps, and the way forward in efforts to ensure universal access to prevention, treatment care and support to all Filipinos by 2015.
3. Promote dialogue between health and other sectors, such as justice and drug control, to address policy and legal barriers to universal access.
The Consultation was attended by over 30 participants from non-government organizations, government agencies, and development partners. Participants came from Davao, Ormoc, Cebu, Zamboanga, Bicol, Baguio, and Metro Manila.
HAIN organized the consultation in partnership with Philippine National AIDS Council and with support from UNAIDS.
Attending the Regional Consultation in Bangkok are:
1. Cong. Kaka Bag-ao, Akbayan Representative
2. Atty. , Dangerous Drugs Board
3. Dr. Fercito Avelino, Philippine National AIDS Council Secretariat
4. Mr. Jonas Bagas, TLF-SHARE Collective

The workshop is participated in by the 15 of the 17 regional teams composed of the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Officers, Regional STI Coordinators and Provincial Health Team Leaders. The teams will be consolidating the results of the recently concluded Rapid Assessment of Vulnerability (RAV) to HIV of selected LGUs which were conducted from May to July 2010. The RAV results will be used to enhance the regional health sector plans particularly identification of key techncial assistance needed by LGUs.
The following partners are supporting the NEC and NASPCP in facilitating the workshop: PNAC, USAID-HealthGov, GFATM, WHO, UNAIDS, ACHIEVE, HAIN, and QC Health Department.
