HIV cases have increased by 500% in the Philippines. This means the archipelago has the fastest rate of transmission of the virus in Asia Pacific. Some officials have called it a public health crisis.

If nothing is done, the country could have half a million HIV patients by 2030. Why is HIV spreading so quickly in the Philippines?
