What the heck is a 12 year old doing having sex? even more to the point which foreigner was she having sex with that gave her the disease? it had to be 1 of those sexpat trash that gave it to herhttp://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/local-news/2011/07/17/davao-girl-12-becomes-youngest-contract-hiv-thru-sex-167390DAVAO CITY -- A 12–year-old girl from this city has become the youngest person to become infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through sexual intercourse, a city health official said. Dr. Josephine Villafuerte, City Health Office (CHO) chief, said the girl is the youngest since the city started monitoring HIV cases in 1993.Naay mga bata na karon na naga-engage na sa sex at a very young age (There are children now who engage in sex at a very young age)," Villafuerte said.She said 22 new cases of persons living with HIV, 21 of them are males, have been recorded between January and March this year. The new cases have brought the number of persons living with HIV in the city to 140. Villafuerte said 39 new cases have been recorded in the city in the whole of 2010. Although the figure shows that HIV is prevalent among men, Villafuerte said it is not yet conclusive that the highest incidence in the city is indeed men having sex with men. HIV is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Aids). Aids is the late stage of the chronic disease, which is caused by HIV infection. "Even if they are positive with HIV, there is still hope. There are free medicines we can provide for them," Villafuerte said.Villafuerte said HIV must not be associated with death since there are advancements, which can now prolong the lives of persons living with HIV. Less than 20 people have died of HIV infection in the Davao City since 1993, she said.

not to argue with you but I do not think HIV is common in 12 year old or even in teenagers so I think it had to be given to her by a sexpat that paid her for sex

That might be a reasonable assumption but there is no evidence so far, so I would have to agree with Candyman on this, if there was or is any evidence, then it is sure to come out in the news. Now with that said, it would be reasonable IMO to come to the conclusion that somewhere along the line it must have been brought in by someone who travels outside the Philippines, and that would include OFW and especially those who work ships and hit every port.

As you can see by the following article, the main transmitters of the HIV virus, are OFW's and merchant seamen in particular. I doubt very much that it is any "Sexpat" as you describe it, simply because, people in this line of "sport" would take basic precautions of "covering up", simply because if they didn't, then their hobby would come to an abrupt end !HIV cases up by 20 percent ain MayBy Sheila Crisostomo (The Philippine Star) Updated July 03, 2011 12:00 AM MANILA, Philippines - The number of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cases in the country rose by 20 percent in May with 184 new cases recorded by the Department of Health (DOH).In its Philippine HIV and AIDS Registry, the DOH said Friday that the 184 new HIV cases was not only higher than the 153 cases recorded in May 2010 but it was also the “highest number of cases reported in a month.”“Most of the cases (92 percent) were male. The median age was 28 years (age range: 18-67 years). The 20-29 years (59 percent) age group had the most number of cases. Fifty-two percent (96 percent) of the reported cases were from the National Capital Region,” the DOH said.The sector of “males having sex with other males (MSM)” accounted for 83 percent of the cases, followed by the use of contaminated needles by injecting drug users with 13 cases.“Of the 184 HIV positive cases, two were reported as AIDS cases. Both were males (28 and 35 years old) and acquired the infection through bisexual contact. There was one reported death for this month,” the DOH added.Thirty of the cases involved overseas Filipino workers who acquired the virus – 11 heterosexual, six homosexual and 13 bisexual.The registry showed that since January 1984, there were 6,853 HIV cases in the country, with 869 of them progressing into Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).The DOH has observed that MSM had overtaken commercial sex workers as the primary contributors in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the country early this decade.But last year, the DOH had started monitoring infections among injecting drug users in Cebu City.The DOH feared that this would further escalate the spread of HIV cases in the Philippines since one contaminated needle is being used by four to 10 injecting drug users during sessions.Full Story Here : http://www.philstar....ubCategoryId=63
