Resumen
Descripción
It is recognized by both private and
public sectors that an adequate education plays an important
part in stemming the spread of HIV. While the topic of sex
education among primary and secondary schools remains a
contentious issue for a predominantly Catholic country like
the Philippines, teaching health professionals about
HIV/AIDS is a vital part of the subject of infectious
diseases. At present, there is a need to evaluate the
current curriculum of health professionals in terms of the
adequacy of the teaching about HIV/AIDS. This study was
undertaken to review the present state of HIV/AIDS education
in undergraduate health professionals' curriculum and
to assess the response of local tertiary private hospitals
to the emerging threat of HIV/AIDS. It analyzes the current
situation of HIV/AIDS lectures and discussions in public
tertiary education academic curricula of health
professionals in the Philippines. It determines the
perceptions of different stakeholders as to the sufficiency
of the current level of lectures and discussions on
HIV/AIDS. It describes the private hospital sector response
to the HIV/AIDS problem. This study was divided into two
parts. The first part dealt with the first and second
objectives, focusing on the training of health professionals
for HIV/AIDS. The second part dealt with the third
objective, investigating the response of the private sector
to the HIV/AIDS problem.
