INTRODUCTION

Every twelve seconds someone in the world is infected by HIV. When HIV is not treated
properly, it will lead to AIDS and even worse, to death. Therefore HIV and AIDS are an
enormous problem. Most people know that HIV is dangerous, but most of these people do not
know what HIV and AIDS exactly are, what they cause and how to prevent an infection. A lot of
organizations already give educational programs on HIV and AIDS in the entire world in order
to increase the amount of people who have proper knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS and
consequently to decrease the amount of people being infected. Despite the great work of these
organizations, AIDS is still one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world.
HIV is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world and is
considered pandemic by the World Health Organization. Nevertheless, complacency about HIV
may play a key role in HIV risk. Since its discovery in 1981 to 2006, AIDS killed more than 25
million people. HIV infects about 0.6% of the world's population. In 2009, AIDS claimed an
estimated 1.8 million lives, down from a global peak of 2.1 million in 2004. Approximately
260,000 children died of AIDS in 2009. A disproportionate number of AIDS deaths occur in
Sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and exacerbating the burden of poverty. An
estimated 22.5 million people, 68% of the global total, live with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa,
which is also home to 90% of the world's 16.6 million children orphaned by HIV. Treatment
with antiretroviral drugs reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection. Although
antiretroviral medication is still not universally available, expansion of antiretroviral therapy
programs since 2004 has helped to turn the tide of AIDS deaths and new infections in many parts
of the world. Intensified awareness and preventive measures, as well as the natural course of the
epidemic, have also played a role. Nevertheless, an estimated 2.6 million people were newly
infected in 2009.

LOCATION OF THE STUDY

Our programs will be held in all of the schools around San Jose City, Nueva Ecija,
Philippines. We will also use social media sites to spread information about HIV, because the
children of this generation are fond of using their gadgets and browsing to the internet.
Children or teen agers do not often get a proper education at school and consequently no
sexual education and information about HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases.
Neither do they get sexual information from their parents. Furthermore the Philippines is a
catholic country and the church does not approve the use of contraceptives and therefore does
not give any clear and honest education and information about these. The lack of information for
the youth causes ignorance about sex and the risks and consequences of unsafe sex, like
pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. This is a big problem and we want to help to solve
this problem. We want to increase the awareness of the consequences of unsafe sex of the youth
in the Philippines, especially focusing on HIV and AIDS.
PROGRAM

Seminar
Part I: Singing of the National Anthem
Part II: Prayer
Part III: Opening Remarks
Part IV: Introduction of the speaker (Defining HIV)
Part V: Introduction of speaker (Discussion of the dangers of HIV)
Part VI: Discussion on how to prevent HIV from spreading
Part VII: Open Forum
Part VIII: Closing Remarks

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

We need to properly educate the youth about the dangers of having an Human
Immunodeficiency Virus, because, teen agers usually explores new things like sex and it is one
of the most common way on how to transmit HIV from one person to another. If they are not
properly educated about this kind of topics like, HIV or safe sex, they won’t be careful and they
wouldn’t know how to prevent this kind of virus to spread.
They need to learn everything about this topic for them to know what to do and to lessen
the ignorance of the people of the Philippines from HIV, AIDS, and safe sex because, learning is
living.
