Combating HIV/AIDS

This is good news. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in cooperation with the Department of Health (DOH) is stepping up its campaign against HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Predictably with the release of a new report that shows a rise in registered HIV/AIDS cases, the blame game has began... it's really counter-productive to point fingers at the government, the Catholic church etc.

The focus should be on educating people about the risks.I believe that one's health is one's responsibility not anyone else's... educating people about HIV/AIDS is very important but the individual should also do his part--all the information in the world is useless if you ignore it and keep on doing things that put your health at risk.
