“…IO dapat mempengaruhi metabolisme tubuh termasuk proses pengolahan makanan menjadi energi yang mengakibatkan tubuh kekurangan energi dan fatigue. Jenis IO terbanyak adalah infeksi tuberculosis (43%), kandidiasis (21%), dan diare 9%, dan variabel usia yang paling berhubungan dengan kejadian IO (p-value 0,0001) (Sutini et al, 2022). Peningkatan insidensi IO diikuti dengan penurunan CD4 (Indah & Eryando, 2023;Sundari et al, 2023).…”

This study aims to identify the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy on reducing fatigue scores in HIV/AIDS patients. The research method uses a pre-post quasi-experimental design with a control group design. The study results showed that giving progressive muscle relaxation therapy to the intervention group decreased fatigue by 8.763 points, with a p-value of 0.000. In conclusion, advanced muscle relaxation therapy can be used as an intervention of choice to reduce fatigue conditions in HIV/AIDS patients for seven days, at least once a day, in the afternoon for 10-20 minutes per exercise, taking into account the factors of Hb levels, duration of ARV use, and psychological factors. Keywords: Fatigue, HIV/AIDS, Progressive Muscle Relaxation

“…Opportunity costs can be defined as the extent to which profits, benefits, and values must be given or sacrificed to be able to participate in this program intervention. Someone who has HIV is prone to experiencing opportunistic infections as a result of weak immunity, such as tuberculosis infection, candidiasis, herpes simplex, salmonella, digestive infections, toxoplasmosis, and others [23,24]. Lifetime HIV-related medical expenses incurred for a person with HIV amounted to $420,285 [25].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused obstacles in providing PrEP services for HIV prevention. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decline in the use of PrEP for HIV prevention. Social restriction policies and limited services are provided for fear of being infected with COVID-19. The aim is to review the challenges and strategies for providing HIV PrEP during the pandemic. This article narrative reviews the acceptance of the PrEP program according to The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability, challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Affective attitude, burden, ethics, self-efficacy, and perception of effectiveness influence acceptance of the PrEP program. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several challenges were faced, including fear of transmission of COVID-19, disruption of access to health services, disruption of PrEP supplies, and shifting of priority for health workers to COVID-19. Strategies implemented during the pandemic to increase PrEP acceptance include telemedicine and remote counseling, mobile laboratories, medication home delivery, longer PrEP stocks, and online education and information. To support the PrEP program during the COVID-19 pandemic, collaboration and integration of PrEP and COVID-19 services are required.

“…This condition shows that ART compliance in Indonesia is still lacking. The low level of ART in Indonesia means that many PLHIV show low CD4 counts (< 350) and viral loads increase to ≥ 40 copies/ml, the impact of which is an increase in the number of OI (Sutini et al, 2022). The most common OIs found in patients were oral candidiasis (58.6%), pulmonary tuberculosis (41.4%) and pneumonia (41.4%).…”

Introduction: Globally, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been successful in reducing the death rate due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Different conditions in Indonesia mean the death rate due to HIV/AIDS is still high. The problem lies in the low compliance with ART. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between ART adherence with number of CD4, the opportunistic infection (OI) and viral load in PLHIV. Methods: A quantitative survey with cross-sectional approach was conducted between August – September 2022. As many as 375 PLHIV were recruited and agreed to give consent as research respondents. All respondents completed a questionnaire about ART adherence, OI and had blood taken to check CD4 count and viral load. Analyses were performed using Chi-squared test SPSS version 21 with significance level p<0.05. Results: A significant relationship was shown between ART adherence and OI (p value= 0.000 with <0.05). The respondents who reported adherence in ART also showed asymptomatic OI. The analysis also showed that ART adherence had significant relationship with CD4 count (p value= 0.000 with <0.05) and viral load (p value= 0.000 with <0.05), respectively. Respondents adherent to taking ART had better level of CD4 and suppressed viral load in the body. Conclusions: Adherence of antiretroviral therapy is the important factor contributing to the immune status of PLHIV, which has an impact on reducing CD4 count and suppressing viral load, thereby preventing the emergence of OI.
