SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #284 "May Gamot Ba Para Di Ma-Infect sa HIV?" Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar284 \n  \nWebinar #284\nMay 15\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nMay Gamot Ba Para Di Ma-Infect sa HIV?\nPre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Teodora Elvira C. Wi\nHIV/AIDS & STI Expert\nTeam Lead\, Sexually Transmitted Infection (STIs)\nDepartment of Global HIV\, Hepatitis\, and STI Programmes\, World Health Organization\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #284\nMay 15\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nMay Gamot Ba Para Di Ma-Infect sa HIV?\nPre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)\n\nIn the contemporary landscape of global public health\, the paradigm of HIV prevention has undergone a transformative shift from purely behavioral interventions to a robust\, biomedical framework centered on pharmacologic prophylaxis. As we navigate the complexities of ending the HIV epidemic\, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis\, or PrEP\, has emerged as a cornerstone of our preventive armamentarium. In this week’s episode\, we will have a nuanced discussion on pharmacological profiles of tenofovir-based regimens\, specifically focusing on the inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase as a primary mechanism for preventing viral replication following potential exposure. While the science of PrEP is grounded in rigorous clinical trials and pharmacokinetic data\, its success relies heavily on the clinical acumen and empathetic communication of frontline providers. It is no longer sufficient for specialists alone to manage these regimens. Rather\, the decentralization of PrEP delivery into primary care\, pharmacy-led initiatives\, and nursing consultations is essential to mitigate the incidence of seroconversion within vulnerable populations.\n\nWe will also discuss the critical clinical eligibility criteria\, the importance of baseline and longitudinal renal function monitoring\, and the evolving landscape of long-acting injectable formulations versus traditional daily oral dosing. In addition\, we will address the systemic challenges of adherence and the sociocultural barriers that often impede equitable access to these life-saving medications.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Teodora Elvira C. Wi\, an HIV/AIDS & STI expert. She is the Team Lead\, Sexually Transmitted Infection (STIs) from the Department of Global HIV\, Hepatitis\, and STI Programmes\, World Health Organization HQ. Join us in this intellectual discourse that will help ensure that the promise of a future without new HIV infections becomes a tangible reality.

SUMMARY:"Market Design with Distributional Policies: Lessons for the Philippines?"
DESCRIPTION:HAPPENING ON FRIDAY\, May 15\, 2026. 4:00 PM\, at the Judith R. Duavit-Vazquez and Class of 1984 Lecture Room (UPSE 105)\n\n🎓 UPSE-PCED Friday Seminar\, featuring M. Bumin Yenmez\, Ph.D.\, a Professor of Economics at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL). Before joining WUSTL\, he worked at Boston College\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Microsoft Research. He holds a PhD from Stanford University and a bachelor’s degree from Caltech\, and serves as an associate editor of the Journal of Economic Theory.\n\n🧠📚💡Abstract: Market design started with the famous work of Gale and Shapley (1962) and has reshaped various markets such as school choice\, kidney exchange\, and college admissions. More recently\, distributional policies such as affirmative action have become a central focus of the literature. In this lecture\, I give an overview of this literature starting with policies based on reserving seats for protected groups (Hafalir\, Yenmez\, and Yildirim\, 2013). Such reservation systems have been implemented at the national level in Brazil\, Chile\, and India\, and were used to allocate vaccines during the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.\n\nThe Philippines has its own tradition of affirmative action policies — including reservations for indigenous peoples\, persons with disabilities\, and other marginalized groups — and market design offers principled tools for evaluating\, refining\, and implementing such policies. I will conclude with recent advances that formalize distributional objectives through diversity functions and distributional preferences\, and discuss their potential application to Philippine allocation problems.\n\n📝 Please register using the links below or by scanning the QR codes in the poster:\n 📍 Onsite: https://tinyurl.com/4m5fs4vr\n Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/bddsmr3r \n\n👀 We’d love to see you there!\n\nSource: UP School of Economics Facebook
