This was 79% higher compared to the same period last year. Mos of the cases (93%) were males. The median age was 27 years (age range: 17-62 years). The 20-29 year (61%) age-group had the most number of cases.


Reported modes of transmission were sexual contact (376) and needle sharing among injecting drug users (4). Males having sex with other males (82%) were the predominant type of sexual transmission. Most (93%) of the cases were still asymptomatic at the time of reporting.

In January 2013, the bulk of the new HIV cases came from NCR, Region 4A, Region 3, Region 11, and Region 7.

There's nothing wrong with having HIV!!! Why would you want to suggest a specific HIV dating site? People with HIV can date people without herpes!!! No disrespect but in my opinion this sort of specifics only promotes discrimination and alienation as a result!!... Just another way of exploiting someone else's lack of confidence really . Hiv Positive Dating Sites
suggest you the Best HIV positive dating sites of 2017, you can go along with them by considering their activity, privacy , policies and safety features.
