¹Surveys (BSS 2003) for this population included at most only 3 out of the 5 questions prescribed by UNAIDS for this indicator. The 2005 IHBSS has been conducted. However, official results have not yet been released as of submission of this Country Report.

³Surveys (BSS 2003) for this population included only at most 3 out of the 5 questions prescribed by UNAIDS for this indicator. The 2005 IHBSS for IDU has not yet been conducted as of submission of this Country Report.

⁴Only males 15-24 year olds were asked this question in the 2002 YAFS. Overall, six questions were asked related to this.

⁵Data available is for 2003 only. According to the LEAD Project, 4,000+ samples coming from nine (9) sentinel sites have been completed in 2005. However, official results have not yet been released by NEC as of the time of submission of this Country Report.

⁶2003 HIV Serologic Surveillance (as reported in the 2003 National Epidemiology Center (NEC) Technical Report).

⁷Percentages were computed based on BSS sample size of 300 PIP tested for HIV per sentinel site x 10 sentinel sites = 3,000 PIP tested for HIV. Official estimates for population size of PIP are still not available. However, the 2002 Consensus Report on STI, HIV and AIDS Epidemiology placed the population size at 540,000 for 2001.

⁸2003 HIV Serologic Surveillance (as reported by the National Epidemiology Center (NEC)).

⁹Percentages were computed based on BSS sample size of 300 MSM tested for HIV per sentinel site x 10 sentinel sites = 3,000 MSM tested for HIV. Official estimates for population size of MSM are still not available.

¹⁰No percentages were computed due to absence of official estimate for population size of IDU. However, the 2002 Consensus Report on STI, HIV and AIDS Epidemiology placed the population size at 10,000 in 2001.

¹¹No percentages were computed due to absence of official estimate for population size of OFW.

¹²Available data from the HIV/AIDS registry as of September 2005 is for 10-19 and 20-29 year old. Not in percentage but in actual numbers. Figures provided are cumulative from 1987 to September 2005. There were 13 males aged 10-19 years old and 334 males aged 20-29 years old documented to have HIV. There were 31 females aged 10-19 and 365 females aged 20-29. Overall, the totals are 44 cases for age 10-19 and 699 for ages 20-29.
