Empowering the Frontline | PN HIV/AIDS Training of Healthcare Workers for Counseling to Testing

The PN Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/ Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Training of Healthcare Workers for Counseling to Testing served as a cornerstone program, empowering our medical service personnel with advanced counseling techniques and technical competencies to deliver client‑centered, evidence-based HIV testing services. The training was held last 03-07 November 2025 at the CPO Clubhouse, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

In collaboration with the US Department of Defense PEPFAR, Taguig City Local Health Unit and several PN Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), this training further benefited from global best practices and technical support tailored to military and health-care settings. Through this partnership, we’re leveraging military-to-military expertise to strengthen testing, prevention, and linkage to care which ultimately broadens our network of trained health professionals who provide stigma-free, high-quality HIV services.

The training was honored by the presence of COL DINO ANTHONY P FLORES MC(MNSA), The Chief Surgeon Navy whose remarks underscored the Philippine Navy's commitment to health, readiness, and compassion. Together, we’re building a more informed, stigma-free health system. EveryBuddy Laban sa HIV!
