HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)  dan AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome masih menjadi ancaman kesehatan masyarakat secara global. Prevalensi HIV/AIDS di Kabupaten Banyuwangi juga cukup tinggi yakni 4.557 kasus. Cara penularan HIV terbesar adalah melalui hubungan seksual (71 %). Sejumlah 18,23% orang dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) adalah wanita pekerja seks (WPS). Meskipun lokalisasi di Banyuwangi telah resmi ditutup pada tahun 2013, namun praktik prostitusi masih terselubung dijalankan. Hubungan seksual tanpa kondom menjadi mata rantai penyebaran HIV/AIDS di masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui korelasi pengetahuan dan sikap WPS dengan persuasi penggunaan kondom di eks lokalisasi Gempol Porong Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Desain penelitian adalah analitik kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian yaitu WPS di Eks Lokalisasi Gempol Porong berjumlah 32 orang yang diambil dengan teknik Total sampling. Pengambilan data dengan metode angket dan dianalisis statistik menggunakan SPSS 20.0 version. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa WPS yang memiliki pengetahuan rendah dalam penanggulangan HIV/AIDS sebanyak 56,2 %, sikap negatif sebesar 53,1% dan sebanyak 59,4% tidak melakukan persuasi penggunaan kondom. Analisis uji chi-Square menunjukkan ada hubungan antara pengetahuan WPS dalam penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dengan persuasi penggunaan kondom (ρ = 0,002α), serta ada hubungan antara sikap WPS dalam upaya penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dengan persuasi penggunaan kondom (nilai ρ = 0,000α). Variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dengan persuasi penggunaan kondom adalah sikap, dengan  probabilitas sikap negatif WPS sebesar 78%. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan masukan pihak terkait guna peningkatan 100% penggunaan kondom sehingga dapat menekan angka pertumbuhan HIV/AIDS di Kabupaten Banyuwangi.

Newborns exposed to the virus need to have clinical follow-up from birth, maintaining control and permanent health care in specialized multiprofessional services that meet the specific demands of their serological condition. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of children with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome attended at a Reference Center in the city of Belém, Pará, Brazil. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional epidemiological study with qualitative and quantitative variables on the profile of infected children from secondary data, in the period from 2014 to 2019 in the State of Pará. 1,270 children exposed to the virus by vertical transmission, between 0 and 12 years of age, were identified, 06 (0.47%) of which tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and 60 (4.72%) children who developed the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, with an average time of 3.5.7 years for disease progression and 8 years for death. In view of the results obtained, it is clear that there is a need to expand health programs in primary care, aiming at health promotion and prevention, as qualified care generates improvements in the quality of life of patients, since most of the transmission is vertical. Thus, it is necessary to carry out further studies in the area, aiming to improve the fight against the disease and reach in more detail the epidemiological profile of HIV/AIDS in children in the State of Pará.

Pada pasien HIV, ada banyak kelainan klinis yang didapat. Abnormalitas hematologi adalah salah satu manifestasi paling umum dari infeksi human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) tingkat lanjut dan acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).Jumlah sel darah merah rendah, adalah yang paling umum dari gangguan ini. Frekuensi dan keparahan manifestasi hematologi dapat mempengaruhi jumlah CD4 dan kadar hemoglobin. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui korelasi kadar CD4 dan kadar Hemoglobin sebelum terapi ARV pada penderita HIV/AIDS di RSUD DR. H. Abdul Moeloek Provinsi Lampung Tahun 2017. Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah studi cross sectional dilakukan dari rekam medis dari Januari hingga Desember 2017 di RSUD DR. H. Abdul Moeloek Provinsi Lampung. Sebanyak 102 pasien dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling. Analisis menggunakan analisa univariat dan bivariat dengan uji spearman.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat rata-rata tingkat hemoglobin adalah 12,421 ± 12,7 gr / dl dan tingkat CD4 rata-rata adalah 151,36 ± 89,0 sel / mm3. Ada hubungan yang bermakna dengan kadar CD4 dan kadar hemoglobin sebelum terapi ARV, nilai p = 0,00 (nilai-p <0,05). Koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,458 menunjukkan korelasi positif dengan kekuatan sedang.H1 diterima dengan korelasi positif lemah. Secara statistik signifikan antara kadar Hemoglobin dengan kadar CD4 pada penderita HIV/AIDS yang belum mendapatkan terapi ARV sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai penanda penurunan kadar CD4.

Kasus human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) telah menjadi masalah kesehatan dunia. High active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) telah menurunkan angka kematian dan kesakitan pada pasien HIV. Pasien HIV memilki risiko tinggi mengalami erupsi alergi obat dibandingkan masyarakat umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengindentifikasi manifestasi erupsi alergi obat ARV pada pasien HIV/AIDS periode 2005–2014 di Klinik Teratai RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan dari rekam medis pasien HIV/AIDS dengan erupsi alergi obat ARV di Klinik Teratai RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung tahun 2005–2014. Dalam penelitian ini didapatkan sebanyak 111 pasien HIV/AIDS mengalami erupsi alergi obat karena ARV. Erupsi alergi obat ARV banyak terjadi pada wanita (55%) dan pada rentang usia 20-29 tahun (55%). Jumlah CD4 pada pasien HIV/AIDS dengan erupsi alergi obat saat pertama kali terdiagnosis HIV terbanyak adalah <200 sel/mm3 (55%). Manifestasi kulit yang paling umum terjadi adalah ruam makulopapular (89,7%). Reaksi erupsi alergi obat umumnya disebabkan oleh nevirapin (82,5%). Dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa ruam makulopapular merupakan manifestasi erupsi alergi obat ARV yang paling sering muncul.

ABSTRACT Introduction India is one of the countries where a large population is affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It destroys the specific immune system cells called CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) cells leading to an advanced condition called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is one of the life-threatening conditions. It is an infectious disease that can affect caregivers as well. These patients need to be treated with compassion and caution. The doctors need to be aware of the various types of infection, their symptoms, and precautions while treating them. Hence, there is a need to evaluate awareness and behavior among the medical and dental interns while dealing with patients suffering from HIV infection/AIDS patients. Materials and methods The present cross-sectional survey explored knowledge, awareness, and behavior of medical and dental interns toward HIV-infected/AIDS patients at People's University, Bhopal, India. A questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was given to the interns. A total of 350 interns were included in the study; 250 interns were from People's College of Dental Sciences & Research Centre and People's Dental Academy, Bhopal, India, while 100 interns were from People's College of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, India. The collected data were analyzed and subjected to relevant statistics. Results Out of 350 questionnaires received, 250 were answered by dental interns and 100 were answered by medical interns. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of percentage knowledge score for dental interns was 76.57 ± 17.67 and for medical interns, it was 83.05 ± 11.04. Median of percentage knowledge score was 84.80 and 86.00 for dental and medical interns respectively. Mann—Whitney U-test showed no significant difference between dental and medical interns for percentage knowledge scores (p > 0.05). The awareness score between the dental and medical interns showed that dental interns (82.34) showed slightly better awareness to the HIV patients than medical interns (81.00), although it was not statistically significant. When the behavior scores were compared between the dental and medical interns, the medical interns showed a higher score (85.4) compared with the dental interns (76.80), which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion The cross-sectional survey showed that medical students had better knowledge but dental interns had better awareness, though both were statistically not significant. The medical interns had better behavior score than dental interns, which was statistically significant. How to cite this article Ashok KP, Tripathi A, Ashok S.
