Pasig City, Philippines, January 30, 2025

 In light of recent concerns regarding disruptions in international aid, My Hub Cares reaffirms its unwavering commitment to providing life-saving treatment and care for all People Living with HIV (PLHIV). The organization assures the community that it remains fully equipped and resourced to continue its essential services without interruption.

“Our priority has always been and will always be the health and well-being of the community we serve,” said Dr. Joan Carlota Ranieses, the Chief of Clinics of My Hub Cares. “We want to reassure everyone that access to vital HIV treatment, preventive care, and support services will continue without disruption.”

Key measures ensuring uninterrupted services include:

• Stable Supply of Life-Saving Medication – My Hub Cares has sufficient stocks of antiretroviral (ARV) medications procured through the Department of Health (DOH), ensuring continuous treatment for PLHIV.

• Comprehensive, Free Services – Through the PhilHealth Outpatient HIV/AIDS Treatment (OHAT) package, My Hub Cares provides free services, including laboratory tests, medication delivery, unlimited teleconsultations, in-clinic consultations, purchased ARV’s and medicines for opportunistic infections, vaccines, and more.

• Sustained STI Testing and Treatment – The organization independently purchases STI testing kits and treatment medications, supplemented by partner local government units (LGUs) that provide additional support for STI testing and treatment.

• Uninterrupted PrEP Availability – My Hub Cares maintains an ample supply of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) medications, sourced from the DOH and other key partners, ensuring continued HIV prevention efforts.

• Dedicated In-House Team – Unlike organizations heavily reliant on external funding and personnel, all staff at My Hub Cares are in-house professionals, ensuring stability and consistency in service delivery.

“Despite challenges in international aid, My Hub Cares remains steadfast in its mission to provide accessible, high-quality HIV treatment, prevention, and care. The organization encourages PLHIV and those at risk to continue seeking the support they need with confidence,” said Ico Johnson, the Vice President of My Hub Cares.
