The 21-year-old Russian national<\/strong> who went viral on TikTok after threatening to spread HIV in the Philippines<\/strong> is virus-free<\/strong> and is just rage baiting<\/strong>, according to the Bureau of Immigration (BI)<\/strong> on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>

Following his arrest<\/strong>, the Department of Health (DOH)<\/strong> sent a representative to the BI Warden\u2019s Facility<\/strong> where he is currently detained to conduct medical examinations<\/strong>, including HIV testing<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe saw that this person was not sick,\u201d said BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval<\/strong>. She added that the foreigner's posts on social media<\/strong> were intended to incite and increase views<\/strong>, not as a real threat.<\/span><\/p>

Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla also condemned the Russian's actions, calling them deeply hurtful<\/strong> to the feelings of Filipinos. \"You see, he not only said he would spread HIV, he even insulted all Filipinos<\/strong>. That's what's so shocking,\" Remulla said. He also confirmed that the foreigner is negative for HIV and all STDs<\/strong>, so it's clear that he's just showing off<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

Despite the incident, Remulla emphasized that the Philippines still welcomes tourists<\/strong>, but will not allow abuse of the country's goodwill<\/strong>. The foreigner is considered an undesirable foreign national<\/strong> and will remain at the BI Warden's Facility<\/strong> while deportation proceedings<\/strong> are prepared.<\/span><\/p>

At the same time, the HIV and AIDS Support House (HASH)<\/strong> issued a statement urging content creators<\/strong> to be responsible and not exploit public health fears<\/strong> for online engagement. According to HASH Executive Director Desi Andrew Ching<\/strong>, the viral video highlights the need for greater accountability<\/strong> and sensitive messaging<\/strong> on online platforms.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSuch reckless content<\/strong> creates stigma against people living with HIV and damages the Philippines\u2019 reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for tourism and migration,\u201d Ching added. He urged the government to strengthen evidence-based awareness campaigns<\/strong>, especially at international ports of entry<\/strong>, to combat misinformation and promote responsible behavior<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
