<p>HIV/AIDS has been a global concern. According to UNAIDS, the Philippines is one of the seven countries in the world and the only country in Southeast Asia which reported an increasing trend in the number of people infected with HIV. Thus, this investigation determined the knowledge and attitude of college students of the University of the Immaculate Conception on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This is a correlation study which examined whether their knowledge on HIV/AIDS has something to do with their attitude towards it, basing on the premise that the more informed a person is on matters related to HIV/AIDS, the more appropriate his or her attitude towards it is formed. A survey using an adapted questionnaire was conducted to 380 randomly selected college students of the University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City, Philippines. Findings of the study revealed a high level of knowledge on HIV/ AIDS and a moderately positive attitude towards all the aspects involved in dealing with these health issues. Subjecting the data to Pearson r analysis, it was found that there is a significant moderate relationship between the knowledge and attitude on HIV/AIDS from the standpoint of the college students.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Health education, knowledge, attitude, HIV/AIDS, correlation study, University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City, Philippines</p><div> </div>

The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a leading cause of mortality on the African continent and world. HIV and AIDS are among the greatest public health challenges confronting health authorities around the world. The greatest burden of HIV and AIDS is felt in sub-Saharan countries, with Nigeria and South Africa having the greatest incidence of the disease in the world. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, but with effective treatment and healthy living, HIV infection will not develop into AIDS. With increased awareness campaigns by national, regional and international health institutions, there has been an increased awareness on HIV and AIDS across the world. Using data from search query trends on HIV/AIDS submitted online on the most widely used search engine Google from 2004-2019, a decline in search interest for AIDS relative to HIV is revealed in South Africa. This trend mirrors progress on the ground in South Africa, with a decline in AIDS-related deaths and people living longer with the HIV virus. This observed trend might be an indicator that multilateral efforts at combating HIV/AIDS, particularly through awareness raising and behavioural interventions in South Africa is bearing fruit, not just on the ground, but also reflected in the online information seeking on the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) attracted the attention of the health community for the first time in 1981 after the discovery of cases such as Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia and Kaposi's Sarcoma. After going through the research process it turns out that HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes these cases. HIV is a group of Retroviruses that attack the human immune system, while the collection of certain clinical conditions that are the end result of HIV infection is called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) (S.A. Price, 2006). According to (BKKBN, 2010), approximately 50% of people with AIDS in Indonesia are adolescent age groups. During adolescence often arises a sense of wanting to try this is important for adolescent reproductive health. Behavior of wanting to try new things if encouraged by sexual stimulation can bring adolescents into premarital sex with one of the consequences of transmission of venereal diseases including HIV / AIDS (Kumalasari, I, Andhyantoro, 2012). The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence adolescent knowledge in preventing HIV and AIDS in SMA N 7 Pekanbaru City. This research is an analytic research with Cross Sectional approach where the independent variables are Age, Attitude, Source of Information while the dependent variable is Youth Knowledge. The sampling technique was stratified with 83 respondents. The results of the study were calculated using the Chi Square statistical test results with a value of α 5% obtained results Age (p value 0.017 and OR 3.4), Attitude (p value 0.003 and OR 4.3), Information Sources (p values ​​0, 003 and OR 3.9) . Then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted where there is a relationship between Age, Attitude, source of information with Youth Knowledge in HIV AIDS prevention. It is necessary to increase health promotion by involving cross-sectors to the community, especially school adolescents by providing counseling about HIV AIDS, including prevention of sexually transmitted diseases in order to reduce the transmission of HIV AIDS

Introduction:The Philippines has an increasing number of newly diagnosed cases of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). In 2010, the Philippine National Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) introduced an Outpatient HIV/AIDS Treatment (OHAT) package to cover the necessary basic healthcare expenses of patients. The objective of this study was to review patients’ perspectives on the OHAT package in terms of meeting health needs and providing economic risk protection.Methods:The study was divided into two phases: (i) patient surveys (PS); and (ii) health provider interviews (HPI). The PS focused on the health needs of package utilizers and non-utilizers, specifically their satisfaction with the current package coverage. The HPI focused on key personnel working at treatment hubs to gain insight on the impact of the OHAT package on facility operations, service delivery, and patient care.Results:The majority of patients were satisfied with the current package because of the reduced annual out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. However, continuing OOP expenditure was also the main reason for dissatisfaction. This was due to non-uniform provision of services across different hubs, mainly resulting from the unavailability of services and health provider discretion on final package inclusions. Non-coverage of opportunistic infection (OI) treatment and privacy issues were also noted as causes of dissatisfaction. Claim filing for formal membership requires an employer's signature for proof of contribution. Due to the fear of stigma some members created a second insurance account or shifted to an individual payment type, which increased OOP expenses.Conclusions:The OHAT package has increased access to services and medications for HIV/AIDS patients in the Philippines. Despite increasing package utilization there is still room to improve the package, especially with regard to addressing privacy needs and non-uniform package inclusions, and extending coverage to the treatment of OIs.

Introduction:The Philippines has an increasing number of newly diagnosed cases of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Most Filipinos rely on out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure to finance their healthcare needs. In 2010, the Philippine National Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) introduced an Outpatient HIV/AIDS Treatment (OHAT) package to cover the necessary basic healthcare expenses of patients. The objective of this study was to review the OHAT package in terms of patients’ financial risk protection, specifically the amount of OOP expenses incurred and the package's support value.Methods:The study was divided into two phases: (i) patient surveys (PS); and (ii) facility costing surveys (FCS). PS focused on information from enrolled and non-enrolled patients, specifically their current financial needs and expenses. The FCS reviewed actual cost breakdown for each treatment hub of package inclusions.Results:The calculated maximum support value of the package in 2015 was 267 percent. The median annual patient OOP expenditure was PHP 4,700 (USD 91). Maximum expenditure reached as high as PHP 392,000 (USD 7,551) per year mostly due to treatment for opportunistic infections (OIs), which are currently not included in the package. High OOP expenditure was also due to non-uniform coverage of services across different hubs; there was no consensus among providers on what specifically should be included in the package. This reflected a variety of package support values, with some hubs falling below patient expenditure.Conclusions:The current OHAT package, if properly implemented, is sufficient to cover the basic yearly healthcare needs of patients. However, non-uniform implementation and variation in prices of services per treatment hub means that coverage is not always sufficient in all areas, which can cause continued high OOP expenses for patients even with insurance coverage. Furthermore, coverage of OI's as the main driver of increased OOP expenses should be explored.

ABSTRAK HIV dan AIDS (Acquire Immune Deficiency Syndrome) merupakan masalah global. Kurangnya pengetahuan akan cara penularan virus HIV dan pengobatan terhadap ODHA di Indonesia, membuat semakin meningkatnya kasus HIV dan AIDS setiap tahunnya dan muncul berbagai stigma negatif dari masyarakat terhadap ODHA. Dengan adanya stigma negatif dari masyarakat lain terhadap penyakitnya membuat ODHA memiliki rasa takut, tidak percaya diri, marah, malu dan kecewa pada dirinya sendiri. Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah metode pendekatan arsitektur perilaku. Beberapa data awal yang telah ditemukan pada survei awal, dikembangkan dalam survei lanjutan. Data-data tersebut kemudian diperdalam dan dikembangkan melalui serangkaian survei yang dilakukan berulang kali. Proses analisis merupakan bagian yang menyatu dengan proses observasi data. Dari proses ini kemudian dibangun konstruksi teori dari lapangan. Untuk memenuhi semua kebutuhan dalam proses rehabilitasi diperlukan penataan ruang yang baik agar hubungan antar ruang dapat mendukung semua kegiatan yang terjadi dalam proses tersebut. Selain itu juga, untuk menciptakan suasana rehabilitasi maka diperlukan lingkungan yang baik dalam perancangan panti rehabilitasi agar pasien dapat berinteraksi dengan sesama pasien dengan baik. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah, merancang sebuah bangunan panti rehabilitasi untuk orang dengan HIV/AIDS agar mampu mengembalikan fungsi sosial ODHA di dalam masyarakat dengan pendekatan arsitektur perilaku.Kata Kunci : Arsitektur Perilaku, HIV dan AIDS, Panti Rehabilitasi ABSTRACTHIV and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) are global issues. A limited knowledge of HIV transmission and treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia has increased the number of HIV/AIDS cases annually and made the society stigmatize people with HIV/AIDS. Such stigma has made people with HIV/AIDS feel frightened, unconfident, ashamed, and disappointed with themselves. The designing method used in this thesis was the behavioral architecture. Some preliminary data from an initial survey was developed in the follow-up survey. Such data was then further studied and developed through a series of repeated surveys. The analysis process became an integral part of the data observation process. Thereafter, a theory was constructed based on the field data processing. To fulfill all the needs of rehabilitation process, a well-designed spatial planning is required, so the relationship between spaces can support all the activities in the process. In addition, to support the atmosphere of rehabilitation, a good environment is required in designing a rehabilitation center to allow patients to interact well with each other. To conclude, a rehabilitation center for people with HIV/AIDS was designed to restore the social function of people with HIV/AIDS in society based on behavioral architecture. Keywords: Behavioral Architecture, HIV and AIDS, Rehabilitation Center

Utilization of antiretroviral therapies (ART) prolongs life and heightens ability to engage in productive activities among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study implemented a 6-week long Social Care Intervention (SCI) Program in Ghana and identified protective factors associated with Quality of Life (QoL) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We discovered that SCI model in the form of social support associated positively with differences in the QoL among PLWHA. Logistic regression revealed that social support, especially affectionate support, was positively associated with a higher level of QoL. People who were older and healthier tended to have higher levels of QoL compared with their counterparts who were younger and sicker. These findings suggest that building social support system can serve as an empowerment approach to promote quality of life among PLWHA in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where resources are limited.

A new class of medications, protease inhibitors, has dramatically improved the health of many people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This development has had a major impact on the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS. This article considers how a group is affected by the larger systems of which it is a part. The article examines changes in the content, process, and salient leadership tasks of an ongoing therapy group for people with HIV and AIDS before and following the initial introduction of new medical treatments. It also considers how the group process continues to be affected by the more recent failure of these medications for many patients. Implications for research, practice, and training are discussed.

Efforts to stem the tide of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic in Africa emphasise the necessity that learners should be able to make informed decisions. Although learners in Zimbabwe’s schools are taught about HIV and AIDS, the extent of their knowledge needed to be determined. The major objective was to assess the knowledge of secondary school learners in Harare, Zimbabwe, about HIV and AIDS. Structured interviews were conducted with 75 Grade 8 (Form 1) secondary school learners from four schools in Harare.Most learners had obtained their HIV and AIDS knowledge from schools, but some did so from their parents, community activities, the radio or television. No learner had commenced with sexual activities and all had heard about HIV, but not all knew what HIV was, and even fewer could define AIDS. Less than one-third of the learners could mention the three most important HIV preventive measures. Most learners were willing to undergo voluntary counselling and testing (VCT), but few had done so. As no learner had commenced sexual activities, opportunities existed to empower Grade 8 (Form 1) learners with adequate HIV and AIDS knowledge. Generally the learners’ HIV and AIDS knowledge levels were high but some misconceptions existed. Schools should engage with radio and television programmes to address misconceptions about HIV and AIDS. Learners should be enabled to access VCT services. More effective HIV prevention education in Zimbabwe’s schools, could enable more youth to remain HIV negative.OpsommingPogings om die Menslike Immuniteitsgebrekvirus (MIV) en Verworwe immuniteits-gebreksindroom (VIGS) pandemiese golf in Afrika te stuit, beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid dat leerders ingeligte besluite moet kan neem. Alhoewel leerders in Zimbabwe se skole onderrig word oor MIV en VIGS, behoort die omvang van die kennis vasgestel te word. Die hoofdoelwit was om sekondêre skool leerders van Harare, Zimbabwe, se MIV en VIGS kennis te bepaal. Gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer met 75 Graad 8 (Vorm 1) sekondêre skool leerders van vier skole in Harare.Die meeste leerders het hulle MIV and VIGS kennis by skole opgedoen terwyl ‘n paar dit van hulle ouers, gemeenskapsaktiwiteite, die radio en televisie gekry het. Geen leerders het met seksuele aktiwiteite begin nie, almal het van MIV gehoor, maar nie almal het geweet wat MIV is nie, en nog minder kon VIGS definieer. Minder as een-derde kon die drie belangrikste MIV voorkomende maatreëls noem. Die meeste leerders was gewillig om vrywillige berading en toetsing (VBT) te ondergaan, maar min het dit reeds gedoen.Aangesien geen leerder seksueel aktief was nie, bestaan geleenthede om Graad 8 (Vorm 1)leerders te bemagtig om ingeligte besluite te neem. Oor die algemeen was die leerders se MIV en VIGS kennisvlakke hoog, maar wanopvattings het bestaan Skole behoort saam te werk met radio en televisie programme ten einde wanopvattings aan te spreek. Leerders moet in staat gestel word om VBT dienste te benut. Doeltreffender MIV en VIGS voorligting in Zimbabwe se skole, kan meer jong mense in staat stel of HIV negatief te bly.
