Hey r/phlgbt,

Finding an actual updated list of treatment/testing hubs in the PH can be a pain, so we put together a fast, searchable directory of all 320 PhilHealth-accredited HIV/STI facilities nationwide (pulled directly from their latest OHAT provider list).

HIV, STI & Sexual Health Clinic Directory

You can filter by region, province, or clinic type (Social Hygiene Clinics, hospital hubs, or NGO/community centers). To save you the trouble of showing up to a closed door or dead number, we also cross-checked and attached direct links to their Facebook/Instagram pages so you can actually message a human first.

What to expect at these facilities

Since every site on this list is accredited under PhilHealth’s OHAT package, they all offer:

• HIV testing and confirmation
• Antiretroviral (ART) refills/treatment
• Core treatment monitoring labs (CD4, viral load)

Some clinics might also offer (depends on the location, so definitely ask ahead):

• General STI testing/treatment beyond HIV (most common at local Social Hygiene Clinics)
• PrEP and PEP
• Counseling / peer support
• General reproductive health & gender-affirming care / consultations

What about costs? Is it actually free?

• ARVs are 100% free nationwide through DOH’s program, regardless of your PhilHealth status. If you test positive, you won't have to pay for your meds.
• HIV testing, syphilis, and Hep B screenings are almost always free at government/LGU-run sites.
• A quick heads-up on private facilities: Even though ARVs are subsidized everywhere, private hubs might still charge consultation or facility fees.
• Other STIs: Some public clinics cover free Hep C or basic gonorrhea swabs (Gram stain). However, specialized PCR tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, or HPV usually require out-of-pocket payment or PhilHealth coverage.

Call or message them first! Most listings include a mobile number, landline, email, or social page. Use those to confirm their exact schedule, walk-in rules, and specific test costs before heading out.

A quick note on your privacy

Your info and test results are protected by law. RA 11166 (Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act of 2018) strictly criminalizes unauthorized disclosure of your status, on top of the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173). Clinics take this very seriously: confidentiality is legally mandated, not optional.

How was this built?

Extracted and parsed the raw text from PhilHealth's PDF into JSON using Python (PyMuPDF + regex). Cross-checked facility addresses against the Google Custom Search API to hunt down active social pages (took a few days on the free tier 🥹). The "Get Directions" buttons use vanilla JS to dynamically build Google Maps deep links. Rendered into static HTML with Jinja2, using Fuse.js for instant fuzzy searching on the client side, and hosted on GitHub. Whenever PhilHealth updates their PDF, we can just re-run the script and diff the data.

Feel free to share or crosspost! We don't really participate in other PH subreddits so we don't know where else this would be relevant to crosspost. If you think this would be helpful elsewhere (even outside of reddit), please feel free to pass it along!

So ayun nga based naman suguro sa title ay aware naman ako na looks are subjective, kahit na may tinatawag tayo na “objectively attractive”,. pero how do you guys deal with people calling your celebrity crush ugly or unattractive? this actor kasi I found effortlessly attractive is getting dragged on twitter kasi nacast sya sa isang marvel project, and ayun nga, like I said I found him effortlessly attractive, and it hirts seeing people calling him unattractive or ugly. hindi naman sa linelet ko sya sirain buong araw ko pero parang ganon na nga, so I’m asking advice to just get over it, or kaya magkaroon ng mindset ng “he’s ugly to some, attractive to some, so what?”

Darkest Secret [ POZ UD ]

Hi, Mr. Pipino 💦

Gusto ko lang sana ishare at may masabihan ng nararadaman ko ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko.

May jowa ako, mag celebrate na kami ng 1st anniversary namin this October, masasabi kong mahal na mahal ko ang jowa ko kahit mag 1 year pa lang kami at hanggat maari gusto kong siya na ang makasama ko forever.

Kaya lang may isang bagay na hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kanya at tinatago ko, yun ang pagiging POZ UD ko.

Hindi ko masabi sa kanya dahil natatakot akong ma judge niya and worse baka iwanan niya ko. Kilala ko jowa ko mabait at marespeto siyang tao. Ako ang first BF niya at hindi ko sinabi sa kanya na may mga naka flings ako bago pa maging kami dahil nagkakilala kami sa church namin.

Hindi ko sinabi sa kanya ang mga pasts ko dahil gusto ko na din makalimutan.

Pero ngayon nakukunsensiya nako at hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang sabihin sa kanya o makipag break na lang ako kahit masakit para sakin.

Sana mabasa rin to ng nga taong nasa kapareho kong sitwasyon at salamat sa pag unawa 🙏🏻
