“…The relationships between HIV comprehensive knowledge, stigma, and preventive behaviour suggest the need to understand factors affecting HIV knowledge. Among these factors, communication about reproductive health in one’s social network plays an important role in HIV education [ 13 , 14 ]. Taboos surrounding the topics of sex, sexuality, and reproductive health have been known to be barriers to improved knowledge of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in Indonesia and many other countries [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Objectives: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among youth seems under-prioritised compared to other key populations. HIV knowledge and stigma are important parts of HIV prevention. To inform HIV prevention among youths, this study quantitatively analysed the associations between open communication regarding sexuality and sexual health, comprehensive HIV knowledge, and non-stigmatising attitudes in Indonesia.Methods: This study used data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. The analysis included unmarried men and women aged 15-25 years old. Comprehensive HIV knowledge and a stigmatising attitude were defined according to the IDHS 2017. Open communication about sexuality and sexual health was defined as the number of people with whom participants could openly discuss these topics in their direct network of friends, family, and service providers, with a scale ranging from 0 to a maximum of 7. Primary analysis used binomial logistic regression with weighting adjustments.Results: The final analysis included 22 864 respondents. Twenty-two percent of youth had no one in their direct network with whom to openly discuss sexual matters, only 14.1% had comprehensive HIV knowledge, and 85.9% showed stigmatising attitudes. Youth mostly discussed sex with their friends (55.2%), and were less likely to discuss it with family members, showing a predominant pattern of peer-to-peer communication. Multivariate analysis showed that having a larger network for communication about sexuality and sexual health was associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes.Conclusions: Having more opportunities for open sex communication in one’s direct social network is associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes.

“…Participants' insights, experiences, and practices on HIV protection and Internet use then informed the development of an internet-based HIV intervention platform, the so-called "Kita Banget" (So-US) model. More findings on the "So Us" have been published elsewhere [17] (Figure 4).…”

“…First, Habermas' construction and explanation of the communicative action, life world, and system world carried out throughout the research, had enhanced participants' confidence, ownership, and group belonging in this research. Second, participants' reflections and participation in the research processes during the face-to-face meetings and Facebook pages drove for creative empowerment and innovative problem-solving skills presenting a practical solution in creating an internet-based strategy, namely "So Us" or "Kita Banget [17].…”

There is increasing awareness of the need to develop innovative and relevant methodologies to best capture the voices of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM), which will inform HIV prevention. This article discusses the process of researching with YMSM in Bali, the solution to methodological gaps in research for Internet-based HIV prevention. This research endorsed the Habermas Communicative Action Theory which was then translated to Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology. Nine YMSM aged 18-24 years old participated in this research through multiple research activities for four months. Data collection included structured group meetings, group workshops, informal participant observations, and after-hour conversations over afternoon tea and shared meals. Participants used a range of visual and digital media to share their collective ideas and different trial strategies. We argue for the opportunity for participatory action research to strengthen the roles of YMSM in HIV prevention.

“…This indicates a dearth of condom knowledge in the general population of Indonesia. It is common knowledge that HIV/AIDS prevention and promotion programs are standardized, i.e., based on a plan approved by government ministries [18,19]. In the Asia-Paci c region, including Indonesia, the HIV epidemic is concentrated among the signi cant populations of men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers, people who inject drugs (PWID), and transgender women (waria), making HIV education and treatment a national priority for these populations [20,21].…”

Background: Indonesia's total number of HIV/AIDS cases is still high. Inadequate knowledge about the risk of HIV infection will influence HIV prevention and therapy. This study aimed to map the level of HIV-related knowledge among Indonesians living on six major islands in Indonesia and investigate the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and HIV/AIDS knowledge. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the Bahasa Indonesia version of the HIV Knowledge Questionnaire-18 items (HIV-KQ-18) Instrument. Data collection was done online through the Google form application. Results: A total of 5,364 participants were recruited. The participants from Java had the highest degree of HIV/AIDS knowledge, which was 12.5% higher than participants from Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua, and Maluku. Linear regression showed that region, educational level, monthly expenditure, occupation, background in health sciences, and workshop attendance were significantly correlated with HIV knowledge. Participants typically understand that "HIV/AIDS transmission" only happens when sex partners are changed. Additionally, the government still needs improvement in HIV/AIDS education, particularly in the HIV incubation period, HIV transmission from pregnant women to the fetus, and condom use as one method of protection. Conclusion: There are disparities in HIV/AIDS knowledge levels among the major islands of Indonesia. Based on these findings, the government's health promotion program to increase public awareness of HIV/AIDS must be implemented vigorously. Additionally, in line with our research findings, it is essential to broaden the scope of HIV/AIDS education and promotion materials.
