Thank you for the wonderful insights. Currently, what we are tagging
is the hospital. So for example, Manila Hospital (tagged as a
hospital) we add the tags like disease:hiv=yes. say that it is a
treatment facility and it dispenses hiv medicine. But what i am
having difficulty is that hiv facility is treated like a department.
You can put in the email address and contact details of the hospital
but if I add the contact details of the Hiv facility it then gets
mixed with the hospital details.
In this case A hospital can have a clinic specifically for HIV, and a
clinic can also have a small office for HIV patients (not
specifically another clinic).
Thanks Joseph and Warin most. of the cases are really similar here.
For treatment hubs - yes this is for inpatients similarly for the one
you described. This is are mostly hospitals but in some cases
clinics. My problem here is that a big hospital has alot of contact
details for the hospital so the information and contact details for
the hiv treatment facility are mixed.
For hiv care - yes it is a bit of all a combination. I cant tagged it
as a pharmacy as it only releases specific anti-retroviral drugs.
Currently We are using this tagging system as assisted by the local
OSM community in the Philippines.

But I feel the feature gets overshadowed by the
hospital/clinic/social facility/office tag. Your thoughts would be
very helpful.

Are you sure you mean "inpatient?" An "inpatient" facility, in
American English, is a hospital which has beds where patients are
cared for overnight.
This would be mapped as amenity=hospital for the main feature, most
likely.
> primary hiv care (dispensaries+testing)
You don't mention care by a nurse or physician, but I assume this is
an amenity=clinic (with physicians and nurses) which also has an
amenity=pharmacy in the same building. There might also be a
healthcare=laboratory at the location.
> testing centers/clinics (testing only)
Is this a doctor's office, or is there just a nurse, or just a
laboratory technician who can draw blood for the test? If there is a
doctor, it might be an amenity=doctors. If there is just a
laboratory
for testing, that would be a healthcare=laboratory facility.
For the speciality, it's possible to use something like
healthcare:speciality=hiv if that's the only thing that the clinic
treats.
But here in Indonesia and back in the USA most clinics that treat
HIV
also offer treatment for other infectious conditions, so a
different
specialty like healthcare:speciality=infectious_diseases would
usually
be more correct.
I see that in the Phillipines the tag "disease:hiv=yes" has been
used:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/disease%3Ahiv#map
In Indonesia and the USA you can get an HIV test at just about any
healthcare=laboratory and larger clinics and all hospitals. But
if you
can only get this done at some specialized places in the
Phillipines,
you could consider adding a tag like "hiv_testing=yes/no" for
clinics,
doctor's offices, and laboratories.
Similarly, in the USA it's normal to be able to get hiv medications
from standard pharmacies. But if they are only available from a few
pharmacies in your country, you could add a tag like
"hiv_medication=yes/no" to an "amenity=pharmacy" facility.
It looks like "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes" has been
used in combination. That seems overlong and complex, so it
would not
have been my first choice:
