The international literature shows that HIV-risk behaviour for women mostly occurs in the context of intimate relationships. Power imbalances in the social, economic and cultural spheres put women at risk. This paper addresses the roles of male partners in women's engagement in drug-use behaviour and drug-related HIV-risk behaviour in Indonesia. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with 19 women who had injected drugs in the previous month in three sites in central Java. Most of the women had male partners who also injected drugs. Results show that male partners play a significant role in the initiation of drug use, the provision of drugs, injecting behaviour and in the constitution of women injectors' social networks. These findings suggest the need to develop couple-based interventions and to facilitate women-only groups as part of HIV prevention.

“…Among Southeast Asian countries, the annual incident rate of HIV infection has declined in many countries, including Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand, whereas it has continuously increased in countries such as Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines [1], [2]. In Indonesia, the number of people living with HIV was estimated to be 380,000 at the end of 2011, and 55,000 people were newly infected with HIV in 2011.…”

BackgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cause serious health problems and have an impact on the Indonesian economy. In addition, the rapid epidemic growth of HIV is continuing in Indonesia. Commercial sex plays a significant role in the spread of HIV; therefore, in order to reveal the current HIV prevalence rate among commercial sex workers (CSWs), we conducted an epidemiological study on HIV infection among CSWs residing in Surabaya, the capital of East Java province of Indonesia with large communities of CSWs.Methodology/Principal FindingsThe prevalence of HIV infection among 200 CSWs was studied. In addition, the subtype of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and the prevalence of other blood-borne viruses, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and GB virus C (GBV-C), were studied. The prevalence rates of HIV, hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-HCV antibodies and anti-GBV-C antibodies were 11%, 64%, 4%, 0.5% and 0% among CSWs involved in this study, respectively. HIV-1 CRF01_AE viral gene fragments were detected in most HIV-positive samples. In addition, most CSWs showed low awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and had unprotected sex with their clients.Conclusions/SignificanceThe HIV prevalence rate among CSWs was significantly higher than that among the general population in Indonesia (0.2–0.4%). In addition, CSWs were at a high risk of exposure to HBV, although chronic HBV infection was less frequently established. Our results suggest the necessity of efficient prevention programs for HIV and other blood-borne viral infections among CSWs in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Background Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy has changed human immunodeficiency virus infections and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) into chronic medical conditions. These conditions affect the quality of life of Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS. The aimed was analyzing the influence of ARV usage, caregiver stigma, caregiver burden, and caregiver coping on the quality of life of Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS. Methods Participants in this study were caregiver for Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS. This study measured ARV usage, caregiver stigma, caregiver burden, caregiver coping, and quality of life in Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS. Measurement data were analyzed using logistic regression test and ANOVA, test with p < 0.05. Results HIV/AIDS Indonesian children aged 7.7 ± 3.68 years, with an average participant age of 40.2 ± 11.26 years. Most participants were biological parents of Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS (64.2%) and female (56.6%). Participants stated that all Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS tend to keep their health status confidential. Most HIV/AIDS Indonesian children regularly used ARV (83.0%) and had a good quality of life (71.7%; β = 0.683; p < 0.001). Caregiver stigma value was 21.7 ± 2.06, with a median value of 22 (15–26; β = 0.064; p = 0.548). Participants had moderate and mild caregiver burden, with percentage of 50.9% and 49.1%, respectively (β = 0.058; p = 0.593). Caregiver coping value was 77.2 ± 7.30 (β = -0.196; p = 0.049). Conclusions There is an influence of the use of ARV drugs and caregiver coping with the quality of life of Indonesian children with HIV/AIDS. Regular ARV use improves quality of life, while the higher the caregiver coping, the lower the quality of life.
