Kaagapay, a Fun Run for HIV Awareness
HIV infection is on the rise. Contrary to what most Filipinos believe, an average of 55 new cases is being diagnosed everyday (DOH). Despite linkages to care and treatment, the disease still holds stigma and discrimination. To break the stigma and raise awareness on the disease, Healthserv Los Baños Medical Center through its Infection Prevention and Control Committee partnered with UP Los Baños Gender Center as part of the commemoration of the World AIDS Day, holds its first fun run for HIV awareness – “KAAGAPAY.”
Kaagapay, which means to run together- is an aspiration towards a person infected with HIV to not feel isolated in their journey with the disease. This activity aims to engage the local community and bring people together who share a common goal of valuing and promoting health for all, strengthening community partnership. This is a two-day event which include a charity run, health-check booths, interactive activities focused on HIV awareness on the first day. The second day will be a series of lectures on HIV awareness.
“Kaagapay, a Fun Run for HIV Awareness” will be held on December 1, 2024, Sunday at UPLB Fair Grounds. We hope that you run with us. Together, let us help break the barrier and shatter the stigma. SEE YOU THERE!
