Analisis Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Keterbukaan Status Hiv Seropositif Wanita Penderita Hiv/Aids Terhadap Pasangan Seksual Di LSM Victory Yogyakarta

Abstract

Background: The disclosure of women’s HIV status toward their sexual partners is an important issue that should be regarded as one of the efforts to prevent and control the spread of HIV. Research on the disclosure of seropositive HIV status as well as women-related factors in Indonesia, especially Yogyakarta is only a few.
 Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyse a factor related to the growth of HIV-positive female HIV/AIDS to sexual partners in LSM Victory Yogyakarta
 Methods: This is a correlational descriptive research along with its cross-sectional approach on 329 women with HIV/AIDS at the Victory Plus NGO from June to July 2016. This research used a purposive sampling method and a questionnaire as the data collection technique. The bivariate analysis test was undertaken by using a chi square and multivariate test along with a logistic regression.
 Result: The multivariate analysis and logistic regression show five independent variables related to the disclosure of seropositive HIV status of women with HIV/AIDS toward their sexual partners, namely ethnicity (aOR = 36,859; 95% CI; (6,544-207,616)) religion (aOR =0,255; 95%CI; (0,075-0,868)), discussion with partners prior to the HIV test (aOR =0,069; 95%CI; (0,065-0,438)) , types of sexual partners (aOR = 0.191; 95% CI; (0.082-0,445)) and knowledge on the partners’ HIV status (aOR = 0.036; 95% CI; (0.008-0.160)). The highest level of reason for seropositive HIV women not to be open about their partners’ status is the fear of being rejected by their partners and the environmental stigma of HIV AIDS disease.
 Conclusion: The disclosure of seropositive HIV status in women with HIV/AIDS in the Victory Plus NGO of Yogyakarta was 79.4% or classified as a high category with some related factors such as ethnicity, religion, discussion with partners prior to the HIV test, types of partners and knowledge on the partners’ HIV status.

“…Along with the development of HIV in the body, PLWHA will often face physical, psychosocial, psychological, and mental problems, both directly and indirectly, which will impact the quality of life of PLWHA (Rina, 2013). Based on previous research on the quality of life of PLWHA and the disclosure of PLWHA status, it was found that PLWHA in Yogyakarta had a mediocre quality of life (53.95%) and had high disclosure of status to sexual partners (79.4%) (Farillahsari & Yasin, 2014;Rukmi & Darussalam, 2018).
