Our PrEPR Proposal at the Finals!
CAMP’s entry to HOPE Philippines’ nationwide crowdsourcing call to search for solutions that increase PrEP use in the Philippines made it to the finals!
The proposed solution seeks to increase the demand for PrEP among key populations by building a strong community that will steward awareness and accessibility of PrEP, and champion the effectiveness of PrEP.
"PrEPR: PreP Reinforced" is an innovation proposed by CAMP’s very own Project Officers Matthew David, Jaybs Pobocan, and Executive Director Ian Felix Alquiros, in collaboration with Roy Yap of Falcom Technologies.
The team’s proposed solution is the development of a closed-loop data ecosystem that aims to enable clinics and clients to monitor PrEP issuances - composed of a Clinics App for the delivery of PrEP services, and a Clients App to facilitate virtual consultations, refill requests, PrEP use monitoring, built-in with a social networking feature for users to interact.
The HOPE Philippines project is being carried out by the Foundation for the Advancement of Clinical Epidemiology, Inc. (FACE, Inc.), with support from the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST PCHRD).

2023 #ZeroStigmaPH Volunteers Needed!
This year’s theme for World AIDS Day is “Putting Ourselves to the Test: Achieving Equity to End HIV.” It encourages people to unite globally to eliminate the disparities and inequities that create barriers to HIV testing, prevention, and access to HIV care. First observed in 1988, World AIDS Day is a day to unite to help end HIV and remember those lost to AIDS-related illnesses.
At the heart of the barriers is the Stigma that surrounds HIV/AIDS, the LGBTQIA+ Communities, and Mental Health! Let's all work together to aim for #ZeroStigmaPH

MSB is a qualitative investigation into HIV stigma in the Philippines for men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) populations and their families. The project is funded by the Global Fund - Sustainability of HIV Services for Key Populations in Asia (SKPA) Program through the Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations (AFAO) and Philippine country sub-recipient LoveYourself Inc.
MSB aims to establish an understanding of the context of LGBT and HIV-related stigma in the Philippines. The results of the pioneering study is now being used to inform the policies of government and non-government organizations for the promotion of health practices in the country and the region. With the research outputs, we hope to: (a) improve stigma and discrimination reduction activities of community-based organizations by anchoring them on quality research; and (b) contribute to enabling environment, by addressing barriers to access, including stigma- and gender-related barriers to services.
Specifically, the research project answered the following key questions:
1. In what ways is HIV stigma experienced in the Philippines by MSM, TGW, and their families?
2. In what ways does HIV stigma in the Philippines hinder HIV awareness and testing?
The project’s dissemination and culminating activities was held online held via Zoom, and broadcasted live in the official Facebook channels of:

CAMP Core gains Mental Health & Psycho-social
Support Trainers Certification
[July 25, 2021 - Quezon City]
Four CAMP Core Members have been certified as Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Trainers/Facilitators. In a series of Training of Trainers, CAMP Executive Director Ian Felix B. Alquiros, CAMP Training and Development Director Alissa A. Angeles, CAMP Reserach and Development Officer Rogeselle Burdeos Monton and CAMP Arts & Advocacy Officer Marcel L. Milliam, successfully completed the certification training held online last May 13, 14 and June 11, 2021. This training was given by the Center for DIsaster Preparedness (CDP) to further increase Mental Health and Psycho-social Support (MHPSS) Trainers and practitioners badly needed at this time of pandemic. The CAMP Core MHPSS team went on to roll-out their first MHPSS Training entitled KAMUSTA KA?: Kwentuhang Pag-ayo last June 25, 2021. This was done in partnership with HIV & AIDS Support House Inc. (HASH) for their Community Based Screening Motivators. It was a much needed time for these volunteers to take a mental health break and to process their experiences especially so that they are also burdened with the issues that they encounter with their advocacy and the clients that they selflessly serve. CAMP is now fully equipped to offer MHPSS Sessions for those in the Advocacy that it serves, among PLHIVs and LGBTQIAs and Private Sectors who would also need the same mental health and self care sessions.

The Culture and Arts Managers of the Philippines, Incorporated (CAMP, Inc.), a budding non-profit organization, unites the arts and HIV advocacy to support the cause with a pioneering “art for healing” exhibit on 13 June 2018 (4:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.) at the Casa Real, Acacia Estates in Taguig City.
CAMP, Inc. Executive Director Ian Felix Alquiros underscored, “We’ve seen in the previous years that arts have been pivotal in bridging people to take bold action, especially in turning the table of HIV epidemic in the country.” Latest data from the Department of Health showed that 871 individuals were diagnosed with HIV in February 2018 alone, bringing the total cases to 52, 280 since 1984.
According to Alquiros, “The launching of CAMP, Inc. excites the Filipino arts and HIV advocacy communities in the effort to formally merge culture and the HIV cause into a singular functioning organization to utilize the arts as a tool for personal and societal journey of healing.”
To raise funds for CAMP’s initial programs in battling the epidemic and serving the affected communities, there are about 30 phenomenal artists and art patrons who will donate about 50 artworks to be auctioned off during the said “art for healing” exhibit.
Among the artists who donated their artworks are Ani ng Dangal Awardees: Edwin S. Loyola and Niccolo Cosme, who will showcase their masterpieces from their “What’s On Your Mind” and “XIV” series, respectively.
Loyola’s “What’s On Your Mind” series was enthused by his perception of the Philippine society, thus putting powerful words, both aggressive and motivating, into a visual collection laid on a canvass. Cosme’s “XIV” series, on the other hand, was inspired from the 14 stations of the cross, but created within the context of HIV.
Cosme explained, “The pieces from XIV series are painted with HIV positive blood, which I think, give more leverage and texture as well as deeper story on the artworks. This is something that we cannot achieve in terms of digital print.” The conceptual artist also said that through supporting the art exhibit does not only mean donating artworks, but imparting himself and his life for people to imbibe and be inspired with.
Lined-up programs of CAMP include module development in mentoring potential culture and art workers to craft advocacy projects that will primarily benefit the HIV infected and affected communities as well as reintegration of drug users and welfare promotion of transactional sex workers.
CAMP, Inc. is a group of culture managers in the country who envision the use of humanities and the arts as a catalyst to support the HIV infected and affected individuals and communities for their personal and societal transformation and psycho-emotional healing.
