13th Philippine National Convention on AIDS | AIDS Society Of The Philippines

Thank you for attending “The Evidence: A Roundtable Discussion on HIV and AIDS in the Philippines” on the 13^th Philippine National Convention on AIDS last October 24 and 25, 2014 and contributing to its success.

We believe the perspectives on the 6 themed topics offered by our guest speakers and the subsequent discussion amply highlighted the importance of the pieces of evidence presented from the Asia Pacific Region, the national scenario and the positive community’s perspectives. Clearly there is work to be done in formulating successful strategies and executing them in partnership with the government. This is an ongoing process and we are happy that we are one in our hopes and commitment as we signed the 2014 AIDS Manifesto.

Your presence helped to make this event a great success and your enthusiasm and positive spirit helped make our time together both productive and fun. We wish you all the best and hope that you continue to be engaged with the AIDS Society of the Philippines. Stay tuned for upcoming events by visiting www.aidsphil.org.
