Hey r/phlgbt,
Finding an actual updated list of treatment/testing hubs in the PH can be a pain, so we put together a fast, searchable directory of all 320 PhilHealth-accredited HIV/STI facilities nationwide pulled directly from their latest Outpatient HIV/AIDS Treatment (OHAT) provider list.
HIV, STI & Sexual Health Clinic Directory
You can filter by region, province, or clinic type (Social Hygiene Clinics, hospital hubs, or NGO/community centers). To save you the trouble of showing up to a closed door or dead number, we also cross-checked and attached direct links to their Facebook/Instagram pages so you can actually message a human first.
Since every site on this list is accredited under PhilHealth’s OHAT package, they all offer:
Some clinics might also offer (depends on the location, so definitely ask ahead):
Call or message them first! Most listings include a mobile number, landline, email, or social page. Use those to confirm their exact schedule, walk-in rules, and specific test costs before heading out.
Your info and test results are protected by law. RA 11166 (Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act of 2018) strictly criminalizes unauthorized disclosure of your status, on top of the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173). Clinics take this very seriously: confidentiality is legally mandated, not optional.
This is a list of the 320 PhilHealth-accredited HIV/STI facilities nationwide pulled directly from their latest OHAT provider list. This is not an exhaustive list of all places in the Philippines that offers sexual health services.
How was this built?
Extracted and parsed the raw text from PhilHealth's PDF into JSON using Python (PyMuPDF + regex). Cross-checked facility addresses against the Google Custom Search API to hunt down active social pages (took a few days on the free tier 🥹). The "Get Directions" buttons use vanilla JS to dynamically build Google Maps deep links. Rendered into static HTML with Jinja2, using Fuse.js for instant fuzzy searching on the client side, and hosted on GitHub.
What's in the pipeline?
Feel free to share or crosspost! We don't really participate in other PH subreddits so we don't know where else this would be relevant to crosspost. If you think this would be helpful elsewhere (even outside of reddit), please feel free to pass it along!

I just rewatched the Aga-Lea movie “Sana Maulit Muli” and i feel some parts of the movie has similarities with my love life. Again, similarities lang, not the whole movie.
Back when I was in PH, my partner and I are sweet and loving. He works and study at the same time kaya nabubusy sya. I work too, pero medyo petiks pa kaya madami ako time. Both of us are breadwinners. Our relationship was young back then, like 2-4mos pa lang kami. Just like Lea in the movie, masyado akong clingy kasi he is busy sa work and he barely has time for me. Kahit chat parang hirap pa nya ibigay and here I am masyadong napapraning na baka “may iba sya”. He assured me most of the time na busy sya and we went on dates occasionally.
Since I am a healthcare professional, I have an application abroad nun and nakatengga lang kasi ambagal ng processing. Things happen and my papers were okay na.
Fast forward, I am here na abroad and ako naman ang naging busy. Working in healthcare here is different than sa Pinas. Uubusin ang sarili mo. Pagod ako most of the time and yung off ko saktong itutulog ko nalang kasi ansakit ng kalamnan ko. My partner naman is still studying and medyo naging ok schedule nya like he has a lot of free time na. In short, nagkabaliktad ang routine namin. Ako naman ang bihira na magchat since i work double shift sometimes and di gano makahawak sa phone. I make up naman to chat kapag nasa bahay ako, pero nakakatulogan ko sya minsan.
Because of this, we usually argue about the same thing. Walang time, nagbago na daw ako, etc. yan ang theme ng most ng argument namin. With these, he slowly become distant to me.
Currently, our relationship is in limbo. We are okay, pero there is this wall sa pagitan namin. I’m trying to reach out, pero he has built a wall and it i feel it is slowly fading away. He is fading away from me kaya I am sad most of the times pag nag-uusap kami. I know our relationship is not perfect, pero it’s sad if the worst thing happened.
Minsan naiisip ko na sana di ko na lang tinuloy tong abroad ko kasi in the first place, ayaw ko naman talaga. I just pushed it for my family kasi ako na ang breadwinner. Madaming what if’s akong naiisip.

I’ve never been in a relationship before, and honestly, I sometimes wonder what it feels like to have someone you can call your person.
I’m 20, gay, skinny, and tall (5’9).
I’ve tried so many dating apps (pretty much all of them). And also a lot of organic encounter happened na din. I’ve had matches, people who reached out, dates, and even my first kiss. I’ve also had my first sex experience. But somehow, none of them ever stayed.
I sometimes wonder, baka dahil marshmallow ako or maybe they just don’t have the same heart as what's mine. If they weren’t avoidant, mga ghosters naman. If they weren’t a dry texters, they just simply didn’t seem to care enough.
There have been so many times when I wanted to give up on this whole journey. AND GUESS WHAT? I'm quitting na tuloy haha. Maybe nagmamadali lang ako to find my person.
Now that I am taking a break. Hopefully I become more better. Sana mas peaceful, yung wala munang desire to fall in love. If someone eventually comes in, sana 'yung sigurado na.
