While the topic of sex education among primary and secondary schools remains a contentious issue for a predominantly Catholic country like the Philippines, teaching health professionals about HIV/AIDS is a vital part of the subject of infectious diseases. At present, there is a need to evaluate the current curriculum of health professionals in terms of the adequacy of the teaching about HIV/AIDS. This study was undertaken to review the present state of HIV/AIDS education in undergraduate health professionals' curriculum and to assess the response of local tertiary private hospitals to the emerging threat of HIV/AIDS. It analyzes the current situation of HIV/AIDS lectures and discussions in public tertiary education academic curricula of health professionals in the Philippines. It determines the perceptions of different stakeholders as to the sufficiency of the current level of lectures and discussions on HIV/AIDS. It describes the private hospital sector response to the HIV/AIDS problem. This study was divided into two parts. The first part dealt with the first and second objectives, focusing on the training of health professionals for HIV/AIDS. The second part dealt with the third objective, investigating the response of the private sector to the HIV/AIDS problem.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC PROGRAMSACADEMIC YEARADEQUATE EDUCATIONAGE GROUPSAIDS CAREAIDS CASESAIDS EDUCATIONAIDS PATIENTSAIDS PREVENTIONANTIBODYASSOCIATE PROFESSORBASIC HEALTHBREASTFEEDINGCAREGIVERSCASES OF AIDSCLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGYCLINICAL PRACTICECOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITY EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY HEALTHCONDOMCONDOM USECONDOMSCOURSE DESIGNCURRICULUMDIAGNOSESDIAGNOSISDISCRIMINATIONDISEASEDISEASE MANIFESTATIONSDISEASE PREVENTIONDOCTORSDRUG USERSEDUCATION SECTOREPIDEMIOLOGIC DATAEPIDEMIOLOGIC TRENDSEPIDEMIOLOGYFACULTY MEMBERSFACULTY OF MEDICINEFAMILIESFAMILY MEDICINEFAMILY PLANNINGFURTHER EDUCATIONGENDERGENERAL PRACTITIONERGEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONGYNECOLOGYHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH PROFESSIONALHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH TOPICSHEALTH WORKERSHEALTHCARE WORKERSHIGH RISK GROUPSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIVHIV INFECTIONHIV POSITIVEHIV TESTINGHIV TRANSMISSIONHIV/AIDSHOMOSEXUALSHOSPITALSILLNESSIMMUNITYIMMUNOLOGYIMMUNOSUPPRESSIONINFECTIONINFECTIOUS DISEASEINFECTIOUS DISEASESINJURIESINTERVENTIONLEARNINGLIBERAL ARTSLITERATUREMALESMEDICAL COLLEGESMEDICAL CURRICULAMEDICAL EDUCATIONMEDICAL MICROBIOLOGYMEDICAL SCHOOLMEDICAL SCIENCESMEDICAL STUDENTSMEDICAL TECHNOLOGYMEDICINEMIDWIFERYMIDWIVESMOSQUITO BITESMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONMOTHERSNEEDLE SHARINGNEEDLE STICKNEW CASESNURSENURSESNURSINGNURSING STUDENTSOBSTETRICSPATHOLOGYPATIENTPATIENT CAREPATIENT EDUCATIONPATIENTSPEDIATRICSPEOPLE WITH AIDSPERSONAL INFORMATIONPHARMACOLOGYPHYSICIANPHYSICIANSPHYSIOLOGYPREGNANCYPREVALENCEPREVENTIVE MEDICINEPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPROGNOSISPROPER USE OF CONDOMSPROPHYLACTIC MEDICATIONSPROPHYLAXISPSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORTPSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVENTIONSPSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDSPSYCHOSOCIAL PROBLEMSPSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC TERTIARY EDUCATIONRABIESRAPID SCREENINGREPRODUCTIONRESEARCH ASSOCIATESRESEARCH INSTITUTERISK BEHAVIORRISK FACTORSRISK FOR INFECTIONRISK GROUPSRISK OF INFECTIONRISK OF TRANSMISSIONROOMSSARCOMASCREENINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSSEROLOGYSEXSEX EDUCATIONSEX WORKERSSEXUAL PRACTICESSEXUAL TRANSMISSIONSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSSOCIAL ISSUESSPECIALISTSPECIALISTSSTDSSTISSURGERYSURVEILLANCE DATASYMPTOMSTEACHINGTERTIARY INSTITUTIONSTHERAPEUTICSTHERAPYTRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSMISSION OF DISEASETREATMENTTROPICAL MEDICINEUNAIDSUNINFECTED PARTNERVERTICAL TRANSMISSIONVIRAL DISEASESVIRAL LOADVIRUSWASTEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/11894
