5,583 new HIV cases from July-Sept. 2025 in PH — DOH
The Department of Health (DOH) reported 5,583 new HIV cases in the Philippines from July to September 2025, a 22 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
These latest figures indicate a continuing rise in HIV infections in the Philippines, which has the fastest-growing HIV epidemic in the Asia-Pacific region.
The DOH previously called for a national public health emergency due to a 550 percent increase in HIV cases among individuals aged 15 to 25 from 2010 to 2024.
The increasing number of cases coincides with a reduction in HIV-related foreign funding, impacting the operations of advocacy groups.
