i just read this in todays newspaper (sunstar)
sabi ng CHO chief, Dr. Josephine Villafuerte, 17years old na raw yung bata now and she was 17 when she was found to have HIV, and according to Villafuerte, was probably exposed to the virus five years ago. she added na its a good thing daw kasi other sectors are now aware of how serious the issue is.
this came about after another doctor from CHO, Dr. Jordana Ramiterre, chief of CHO's Reproductive Health and Welness Center reacted to the news article saying it was erroneous.

---------------------
probably daw, so hindi siya sure and i dont think the CHO has the technology to say for sure kung five years ago nga ba nakuha nung bata yung HIV virus. in short, the doctor's statement was played up by the journalist para mas maging sensational ang dating.
