testMNL is a HASH initiative designed to promote HIV testing and prevention, specifically among the LGBTQI+ community, with a focus on men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people in Manila, Philippines. Launched by 2024, the campaign uses digital platforms and community engagement to raise awareness about HIV testing, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and overall sexual health.
Raise awareness, promote digital access and participation, reduce stigma
The campaign is known for its creative and accessible content, often incorporating humor, teen slang, and culturally relevant messages to reach its target audience. testMNL also addresses a wider range of sexual health issues, including harm reduction from chemsex, mental health issues, and advocating for human rights within the LGBTQI+ community.
