i had a conversation with a tourist here recently about basically this. he was asking about the "hygiene" checks that the girls undergo here in ac and was wondering how often they get tested for hiv / aids.
i did try to tell him that the weekly checks were very "basic" and to the best of my knowledge... any extensive checks happen... never?
i did suggest that hiv / aids testing is available (and where) ... so maybe he will be on a mission to provide some of the young ladies with testing. who knows?
along the same thread, the last time one of my acquaintances was in town for his second visit, he was reporting that at one larger walking street bars, that 30 of the dancers had been reported to have hiv. amazing that rumors like this even get started here (especially from a new visitor) ... since that would indicate that the testing is indeed very comprehensive which it is not.
there are always a few cherry girls rep001tered about the bars... that would reduce the risk... almost to nothing.

Just a word of caution for the travelers coming here, there have been a couple of incidents of reported "skimming" devices here. This is not unique to the Philippines and the same caution should be used anywhere nowadays.
I don't use the ATM's here but I have noticed that more of the ATMs have the lighted blinking card slot which I think is supposed to help identify the there is NOT a skimmer in place.
This article from today.
2 Bulgarians held for ATM skimming.
By Ding Cervantes, Ric Sapnu (The Philippine Star).
Updated May 20,2014 - 12:00 am.
Camp Olivas, Pampanga, Philippines Police officers arrested two Bulgarian men for allegedly putting a skimming device in an automated teller machine (ATM) at a mall in Mexico, Pampanga.
Mladenov Emil Stoyanov, 22, and Karnev Lyuven Georgeiv, 28, were arrested after a bank client reported to the mall security guards that the ATM has two pin pads with a card skimmer, said Chief Superintendent Raul Petrasanta, Police Regional Office 3 director.
Petrasanta said before the arrest, the suspects were seen loitering and watching the ATM booth.
The two were held by mall security guards until police officers arrived.
Investigators reportedly found in the suspects' possession three data cables that matched the ATM card skimmer, a screwdriver and a laptop computer with decoding software.
Petrasanta said they have coordinated with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) office in Clark Freeport to verify the status of the Bulgarians.

This was supposedly at the SM Mall in San Fernando. Though not here in Angeles City, it is the second report that I know of this year. Maybe the news reports that make the print are the ones where those pesky foreigners are responsible and there are actually more incidents than that.

As you know, they are here. Just somewhat in the minority.
It will require quite a bit of research.
I couldn't tell by her clothes what bar she might have worked at (may have been a waitress), but an obvious veteran here.

right?
but then, the new raids are more about the girls being trafficked and less about the **** issue.
i was talking yesterday with a fellow that suggested that if you see a few filipinos in a bar buying girls lots of drinks and trying to get them to "go out" then it may be time to make a hasty departure from that venue. seemed like good advice!

And when I travelled to BKK a while back with 2 cuties they we told "only the westerners traffic girls so you must be careful" - while trying to get their contact details LOL.
Works one way only and is why it is more fun in the Philippines.

Of course, I also have an account which does not charge me for foreign ATM transactions. These can quickly mount up if you need to pay them with your own bank.

Nothing to worry! Only thing, probably your bank will give you a lousy exchange rate.
Enjoy!
