Study Notes

HIV Epidemic Among Adolescents in the Philippines

  • New HIV infections among adolescents doubled from 2011 to 2015.
  • Male-to-male sex and males who have sex with both males and females are the predominant modes of transmission (58% and 26%, respectively), with heterosexual contact accounting for 9% and sharing infected needles making up 7%.

HIV Prevalence

  • HIV prevalence among adolescent males/transgender individuals who have sex with males (M/TSM) doubled in the last five years.
  • This increase is reflected in the 2015 Integrated HIV Behavioral and Serologic Surveillance (IHBSS).

High-Risk Behaviors

  • High-risk behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use, start early, often during adolescence.
  • A significant portion of young key affected populations (YKAP) reported being drunk in the previous year.
  • A substantial percentage of M/TSM, FSWs, and male PWIDs reported having sex while intoxicated.
  • Age of first drug use and first injection for PWIDs was 16 and 20 years old respectively.

Initiation of Protective Behaviors

  • Protective behaviors like condom use typically begin two to three years after the initiation of sexual activity.
  • The likelihood of condom use decreases as the time gap between the first sexual encounter and the first condom use increases.

YKAP Locations and Partners

  • YKAP are present in schools, social media, and cruising sites.
  • Adolescent M/TSM frequently use social media and cruising sites to find partners.
  • Adolescent FSWs typically visit bars, clubs, streets, and parks to find paying partners.
  • YKAP have diverse sexual partners, with varying levels of frequency and transactional sex, often involving multiple partners.

Condom Use

  • Condom use among adolescent M/TSM, particularly those who have anal sex, is low.
  • Only 35% of M/TSM who engaged in anal sex used a condom the last time they had sex, and consistent condom use with most recent partners was even lower at 11%.
  • Reasons for not using condoms include unavailability, dislike of condoms, partner opposition, and a perception that condoms aren't necessary.

Knowledge and Perception

  • Knowledge about HIV and self-perceived risk is low among YKAP when compared to older age groups.
  • Younger M/TSM and FSWs who are most at risk have the lowest level of knowledge about HIV prevention and transmission.
  • A significant percentage of YKAP perceive themselves as at risk for HIV infection primarily due to multiple sex partners and infrequent condom use.

Access to Prevention Commodities and Services

  • YKAP have limited access to HIV services, with low rates of needle and syringe provision and unequal access to condoms and lubricants.
  • Less than half of adolescent M/TSM reported finding condoms easy to obtain in their community.

HIV Testing and Care

  • The testing rate among YKAP is low.
  • Testing rates are significantly lower among 15 to 17 year olds.
  • Linkage to care amongst 15 to 19 year olds with HIV is limited, with only 10% ever diagnosed and 34% having linkage to care, fewer currently on medication, according to HARP data from December 2015.
  • Barriers to testing include fear, perceived lack of need, and limited awareness of testing facilities.

Interventions

  • Strategies to increase YKAP's knowledge about HIV and access to prevention are crucial.
  • Interventions should focus on improving HIV testing among YKAP while ensuring youth-responsive services to effectively address the growing HIV epidemic.
  • Encouraging high-risk behavior YKAP to receive free HIV testing services, including improving testing uptake rates and establishing community-based testing centers.
