Athena by LoveYourself

Athena by LoveYourself successfully conducted a Quarter 3 HIV Caravan at TELUS Vertis last September 18, 2026,, bringing essential HIV prevention and s*xual health services directly to employees in the workplace. The activity aimed to increase access to HIV prevention services, promote regular HIV testing, and strengthen awareness of available community-based health services among working individuals.

As part of the outreach program, Athena by LoveYourself provided free and confidential HIV screening and counseling, same-day enrollment to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for eligible clients, and free condom distribution. Health education on HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and safer s*xual practices was also integrated into the activity to encourage informed decision-making and address misconceptions surrounding HIV.

Your calendar is full of things that matter—make sure your health has a place in it, too.

Schedule the check-up. Get tested. Take a break. Check in with yourself. Reach out when you need support.

Because taking care of yourself deserves a place on your schedule, too.

Last September 13, 2026, BarkCodePH in Sta. Maria, Bulacan opened its doors for Pawsitive Talks—an initiative of BarkCodePH, one of Athena by LoveYourself’s valued community partners, bringing meaningful conversations on SOGIESC and HIV into a welcoming café space.

Facilitated by Veronica Ortega, the discussion on “Navigating SOGIESC” created an opportunity for participants to better understand s*xual orientation, gender identity and expression, and s*x characteristic; while Em Barrera led “HIV: A Comprehensive Foundation,” encouraging open, informed, and stigma-free conversations about HIV.

Beyond the conversations, Athena by LoveYourself brought accessible s*xual health services closer to the community through free & confidential HIV testing, PrEP enrollmen and condom distribution.

Through partnerships like this, we continue to destigmatize HIV, normalize conversations about s*xual health, and make accurate information and preventive services more accessible to communities.

A big thank you to BarkCodePH for creating a space where learning, advocacy, and community can come together—one conversation at a time.

Kahit hindi pa malinaw ang daan.
Kahit nagsisimula ka pa lang.

Pwedeng mangarap ng buhay na mas payapa.
Pwedeng mangarap ng mga bagay na nagpapasaya sa’yo.

Pwedeng mangarap. Pwedeng magsimula. Pwedeng piliin ang sarili.

Bisitahin ang Athena by LoveYourself at bigyan ang sarili ng space para huminga, matuto, mag-alaga, at magpatuloy.

Taking charge of your health starts with being curious about it.

The more you understand, the better prepared you are to make informed decisions and speak up for the care you deserve.

From prevention to regular check-ups, s*xual health, and mental well-being—make knowing your health part of loving yourself.

Every new role comes with new challenges, but it also gives us a chance to discover what we’re capable of.

As you step into something new, remember to give yourself the same patience and encouragement you give others.

You’re learning. You’re growing. You’re becoming. And that’s already something to be proud of.
