On November 14, 2025, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) 4B class participated in a seminar titled “Sexual Education & HIV-AIDS Awareness: Empowering Individuals to Make Informed and Responsible Decisions for Brighter, Healthier Futures.” The seminar provided an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of sexual health and the importance of promoting awareness and responsible health practices.
The seminar aimed to raise awareness of sexual health, encourage informed and responsible decision-making, and strengthen students’ knowledge of HIV and AIDS prevention. Through informative discussions, participants gained valuable insights into health education, preventive measures, and the importance of addressing misconceptions and stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS. These learnings are essential in preparing future nurses to become reliable sources of health information and advocates for community well-being.
The BSN 4B class extends its sincere gratitude to Dr. Hartzyll B. Vergabera, MD, FPCP, for sharing her expertise and valuable insights on sexual health education and HIV/AIDS awareness. Her discussion emphasized the importance of advocacy, prevention, and compassionate care—principles that future nurses can carry into their professional practice. Through initiatives like this, the students reaffirm their commitment to promoting health awareness, empowering individuals to make informed choices, and contributing to a healthier and safer community.
