Concentrated Epidemic

Latar belakang: Prevalensi HIV di Kota Kendari, Sulawesi Tenggara terus meningkat dan menyebar hingga di populasi ibu rumah tangga. Dalam 7 tahun terakhir 21.6 % pasien HIV adalah ibu rumah tangga. Meski masih dalam level concentrated epidemic, angka ini telah menunjukkan meluasnya infeksi HIV pada masyarakat umum dan terlambatnya upaya pengendalian. Tes HIV sukarela untuk diagnosa tidak sebanding dengan laju epidemi HIV yang sangat cepat. PITC menjadi pilihan untuk menemukan sebanyak mungkin orang yang telah terinfeksi HIV pada populasi khusus dan memfasilitasi mereka untuk mendapatkan perawatan, dukungan dan pengobatan (PDP). Tujuan: Mengevaluasi input, proses dan output layanan PITC dalam meningkatkan jumlah orang di populasi khusus yang dites HIV dan mengetahui hasilnya. Hasil: Sasaran program adalah populasi khusus yang terdiri dari ibu hamil dan pasien dengan penyakit terkait HIV yang berkunjung ke puskesmas atau berada di wilayah kerja puskesmas yang mendapat pelayanan di posyandu atau kunjungan rumah pada 13 wilayah kerja puskesmas di Kota Kendari. Kegiatan meliputi: pemberian informasi tentang HIV, penawaran tes, tes HIV, penyampaian hasil tes dan konseling serta rujukan ke PDP jika hasil HIV positif. Pelaksana PITC adalah tim yang terdiri dari dokter, perawat, bidan, laboran dan Petugas RR. Simpulan: Terjadi peningkatan yang signifikan pada jumlah orang yang dites HIV dan mengetahui hasilnya melalui PITC di 15 puskesmas di Kota Kendari.

Hiv Aids

Introduction: A global pandemic threat HIV/AIDS is also matter of concern of developing countries like Nepal where the first case was identified in July 1988 and later became epidemic and then concentrated epidemic among risk group for HIV. Several studies reflected HIV is associated to many factors, Literacy and Socio-economic conditions being at the highest rank. Members of Nepal army are generally with less educational background and few with higher educational status are at higher post. Thus knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS among this group need to be assessed. Aims: The overall objective of our study was to assess knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS among Nepal army in Banke district. Methods: A Cross-sectional descriptive study with population size of 146 Army was performed which covered the entire population of Shree Shreemehar Army Camp in Banke, starting from 18th June to 27th August, 2018. A pre-tested questionnaire containing structural, semi-structural and open ended questions were made as data collection tool. All the soldiers in Army camp were interviewed after receiving consent as an ethical clearance. Results: All 146 Army of our study were aware about HIV/AIDS mainly via mass media (83.56%). 33 respondents still didn’t know about availability of its treatment. Misconception about its complete cure and vaccination was seen in 12 and 39 respondents respectively. 58 respondents were found knowing about the free health services by government. 141 respondents knew certain things about prevention. 28 respondents admitted of having multiple sex partners and only 24 among them used preventive measure. Conclusion: Though all the respondents of our study had known about HIV/AIDS still they had misconception regarding its treatment and prevention. Many respondents do not even know about the free health services of government. Few of them still don’t use preventive measure.

The Stability

The Brazilian AIDS epidemic is undergoing important changes in its third decade. The present article reviews some central findings: the proportional reduction in cases related to injection drug use; the stability, in recent years, of new cases in the male homosexual/bisexual population; and the relative and absolute increment in heterosexual transmission, even though the estimates of incident rates still point to the first two categories mentioned as those most affected by the epidemic. Still should be detached the persistent increase in incidence rates among women and its stability in the younger age groups, probably the result of behavior changes (such as the consistent use among youth of condoms in sexual relations with casual partners and a reduction in cases related to injection drug use). It is well-know that HIV prevalence in the general population has stabilized at less than 1%, which characterizes Brazil as one of the countries with a concentrated epidemic. The article also emphasizes the growth of AIDS morbidity-mortality in the less favored socioeconomic strata and in women, and the stability of the mortality rate among men.
