ABSTRACT
A total of 50 HIV carriers, 46 of them female prostitutes, have been detected through seroprevalence surveys of the Department of Health. Infection rate are highest in 2 cities near US military bases. Seven (7) frank AIDS cases who contracted the disease outside the country have been reported .
