August 4, 2024 marks the 55th year of FPOP in its continuous genuine service to the Filipino people in SRHR.

To celebrate this milestone, the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines Baguio Benguet Chapter will conduct its Medical Mission together with its partner.

See us tomorrow, August 16, 2024 (Friday) from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon at Malcom Square, Baguio City and enjoy free medical services.

The second wave of Free and Confidential HIV Screening was conducted last March 15, 2024, with the help of the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines (FPOP) and UC CON College Student Council.

51 students from the university participated in the half-day activity. Members of FPOP also provided education and information about HIV and HIV screening. The participants received free male and female condoms after learning the result of their test.

As the first step in eliminating the stigma and negative perceptions connected with HIV testing and screening, the screening informs students of their status and encourages them to be tested without fear.

The participants were duly informed by the members of FPOP and UYAHH that all disclosed information was kept totally confidential, their identity was respected, and all data was handled with the utmost care.

Are you ready for part 2?

As part of the celebration of Women's month this March, we are pleased to inform everyone that there will be another FREE HIV SCREENING for everyone!

A human immunodeficiency virus test can determine whether you are infected. An infection that weakens your body's ability to fend off infections is HIV. Since the initial discovery of the virus, tests that aid in the diagnosis of HIV-positive individuals have grown increasingly dependable and user-friendly. As soon as 20 minutes, you can receive early findings from this screening.
