00:00Rising HIV infections, sound alarm across Western Pacific region.

00:04The World Health Organization and UN AIDS are issuing a clear warning.

00:08HIV infections are rising sharply across the Western Pacific region.

00:12This includes 38 countries and areas that convene today for a high-level meeting in Fiji.

00:18Here are the key data points.

00:20In Fiji, new HIV infections have increased tenfold over the past decade.

00:25In the Philippines, new infections rose roughly sixfold between 2010 and 2024,

00:30particularly among young men who have sex with men.

00:32In Papua New Guinea, the government declared HIV a national crisis due to rising infections

00:37among women of reproductive age and children.

00:39Why does this matter?

00:40This isn't just a local health story.

00:43Yeke se san?

00:44Oh, this is a yejore, a regional outbreak with global ripple effects.

00:49A resurgence here may reverse decades of progress in infectious disease control.

00:53For someone in trading and tech like you, health crises impact workforce productivity,

00:58supply chains, national budgets, and investor confidence.

01:01A heavier burden on public health systems can divert resources away from infrastructure,

01:06innovation, and tech.

01:07The traditional outlook says prevention first.

01:11But here, the focus must be tailored interventions, not one-size-fits-all.

01:16Late diagnosis, insufficient treatment coverage, and limited access are major hurdles.

01:20It also reminds us, even in a world obsessed with new technologies, some challenges remain.

01:26Stubbornly, old school, disease, public health, human behavior.

01:30What to keep an eye on?

01:31Will governments in the region ramp up testing, harm reduction programs,

01:35and access to newer prevention tools like long-acting prep?

01:38Could weakened health infrastructure cause knock-on effects on regional economies

01:42and thereby global investor sentiment?

01:44How will this change behaviors, regulation, or tech investment in healthcare services and

01:49digital health platforms in the region?

01:52Will this become a precedent for how global health threats can emerge in places we don't

01:57always watch closely and impact the broader digital and economic world?

02:00My takeaway for you in your space, crypto tech trading, don't dismiss health crises as far away

02:09and irrelevant.

02:11They can trigger macro shifts, change risk appetite, draw funds away from growth sectors,

02:15impact labor and supply chains.

02:17Use this as a signal.

02:18When a real world system falters, the digital doesn't automatically absorb it.

02:22Sometimes the digital bends and breaks too.

02:24When a real world system falters, the digital does not have a problem.
