Humphrey Gorriceta
There is a need to push education for HIV and AIDS, because people still don't know what it is. And this is one of the main ground for discrimination.
Humphrey is one of the only HIV-positive Filipinos who openly discloses his condition, and accepts to put a face on that virus, in a country that still largely denies its existence. But for one person like him, so many HIV-positive Filipinos live with this disease in secret, like these three young individuals, who share their stigmas anonymously. Living in perpetual fear of the recriminations and reactions of their family, friends and colleagues, especially in a country where lack of education on the matter provides the ground for undue discrimination.
