Abstrak Provinsi Papua memiliki prevalensi HIV/AIDS tinggi, dimana terdapat 6957 wanita usia 15-49 tahun menderita HIV/AIDS. Masalah ini dapat menyebabkan penularan HIV/AIDS ke bayi bahkan kematian bayi karena HIV. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisa faktor yang mempengaruhi keberlangsungan program PPIA. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam. Penelitian dilakukan di Jayapura, Dinas Kesehatan Kota Jayapura dari Januari 2015 sampai Juni 2015. Populasi penelitian adalah semua tenaga kesehatan di dinas kesehatan kota Jayapura, dan sampel nya adalah 12 orang mencakup kepala UPT AIDS TB, kepala seksi P2PL, kepala puksesmas, kepala KIA, staf KIA dan penanggung jawab HIV puskesmas. Pengambilan sampel adalah purposif sampling dan data dianalisis dengan triangulasi. PPIA tidak berhasil karena rendah nya K1 dan juga K4, dimana ada puskesmas yang memiliki K4 hanya 58%. Di rumah sakit Abepura ditemukan 8 kelahiran bayi dengan HIV, hal ini karena ibu hamil positif yang tidak menkonsumsi ARV secara rutin sampai melahirkan. Rendah nya K1 juga disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu ibu hamil lebih tertarik ke dokter praktek, suami yang tidak setuju bila istri nya mendapatkan tes VCT, dan rendah nya kesadaran ibu hamil akan pentingnya K1 sampai K4 dan juga VCT. Begitu juga dengan SIHA yang tidak berjalan dengan baik. Kata kunci : Pencegahan HIV, Ibu hamil, bayi, Jayapura   Papua province has high prevalence of HIV/AIDS where there was 6957 cases among women age 15-49 years old. Moreover, this increasedthe number of infants with HIV and impact the rise of infant mortality rate.This study aims to analize factors that affected this HIV prevention from mother to child. This study is qualitative using indeep interview, and located in Jayapura City from January 2015 to June 2015. The population is all staffs in Jayapura’s Health Department, and the total sample is 12 including head of this program, staff of local primary care, staf of hospital, and staffs that have responsibily to run this program. This is purposive sampling, and data will analize with triangulation. HIV prevention is not success due to the low rate of pregnant women visit to local primary care. There was a local primary care that only has 58% of pregnant women visit. In Abepura hospital 2015, there was 8 cases of childborn with HIV. This is because many positive mothers did not consum ARV. The low visit in local primary care has several causes such as mother more willing to go to private obsetric, treat from husband where husband  didn’t allow VCT to his wive, and the low self efficacy of pregnant mother. The HIV report system is not well implemented. Key words : HIV Prevention, pregnant mother, infant, Jayapura

Objective Research synthesis, through qualitative or quantitative systematic reviews, allows for integrating results of primary research to improve public health. We examined more than 2 decades of work in HIV prevention by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Synthesis (PRS) Project. We describe the context and contributions of research synthesis, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, through the experience of the PRS Project. Methods We reviewed PRS Project publications and products and summarized PRS contributions from 1996 to July 2020 in 4 areas: synthesis of interventions and epidemiologic studies, synthesis methods, prevention programs, and prevention policy. Results PRS Project publications summarized risk behaviors and effects of prevention interventions (eg, changing one’s perception of risk, teaching condom negotiation skills) across populations at risk for HIV infection and intervention approaches (eg, one-on-one or group meetings) as the HIV/AIDS epidemic and science evolved. We used the PRS Project cumulative database and intervention efficacy reviews to contribute to prevention programs and policies through identification of evidence-based interventions and development of program guidance. Subject matter experts and scientific evidence informed PRS Project products and contributions, which were implemented through strategic programmatic partnerships. Conclusions The contributions of the PRS Project to HIV prevention and public health efforts in the United States can be credited to CDC’s long-standing support of the project and its context within a federal prevention agency, where HIV programs and policies were developed and implemented. The effect of the PRS Project was likely facilitated by opportunities to directly influence program and policy because of connections with other research translation activities and program and policy decision making within CDC.

The issue of the prevention of AIDS among intravenous drug users (IDUs) is a serious issue that must be addressed. The large number of hard to reach IDUs that enter and are retained in the jail system make the jail an excellent place to provide HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Based on a successful jail-based prevention program, the Community Outreach Project on AIDS in Southern Arizona (COPASA), this article addresses six issues that HIV/AIDS educators need to deal with when providing HIV/AIDS prevention in a jail setting. These issues include (a) the constraints of the jail setting; (b) access to inmates; (c) the educational needs of IDUs; (d) type, format, and content of the intervention; (e) HIV/AIDS testing in the jail; and (f) evaluation of the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS jail-based programs.

: Iran has been one of the active countries fighting against HIV/AIDS in the Middle East during the last decades. Moreover, there is a strong push to strengthen the national health management system concerning HIV prevention and control. In Iran, HIV disease has its unique features, from changes in modes of transmission to improvement in treatment and care programs, which can make it a good case for closer scrutiny. The present review describes the HIV epidemic in Iran from the first case diagnosed until prevention among different groups at risk and co-infections. Not only we addressed the key populations and community-based attempts to overcome HIV-related issues in clinics, but we also elaborated on the efforts and trends in society and the actual behaviors related to HIV/AIDS. Being located in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, given the countryspecific characteristics, and despite all the national efforts along with other countries in this region, Iran still needs to take extra measures to reduce HIV transmission, especially in health education. Although Iran is one of the pioneers in implementing applicable and appropriate policies in the MENA region, including harm reduction services to reduce HIV incidence, people with substance use disorder continue to be the majority of those living with HIV in the country. Similar to other countries in this region, the HIV prevention and control programs aim at 90-90-90 targets to eliminate HIV infection and reduce the transmission, especially the mother-to-child transmission and among other key populations.
