The Philippine Legislative Policy Affecting HIV/AIDS: An Assessment of the Effectivity of R.A. 8504


This article looks closely into the provisions of the AIDS Prevention law. The author emphasizes that RA 8504 remains a model law absorbing many of the best practices cited in the international discourse on HIV/AIDS but proposes a new agency attached to the DOH and DOF for purposes of policy consideration, the streamlining and strengthening of the PNAC secretariat, a provision to allow access by HIV/AIDS sufferer to affordable ARVs and supported drugs, and strengthening of HIV/AIDS education to improve the law further.
