Prevalensi penderita HIV/AIDS di Kota Tangerang yang merupakan daerah industri dari tahun ke tahun meningkat tajam. Kecenderungan peningkatan kemungkinan disebabkan oleh letak strategis Kota Tangerang yang berbatasan langsung dengan Jakarta serta dengan geografi dan demografi yang hampir sama dengan Jakarta. Bersamaan dengan itu kasus peredaran dan pemakaian narkotika di wilayah Tangerang dari tahun ke tahun meningkat tajam. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara karakteristik remaja pengguna narkoba suntik (penasun) dengan perilaku berisiko tertular HIV/AIDS di Kecamatan Ciledug Kota Tangerang Tahun 2007. Data yang dikumpulkan secara cross sectional dilakukan pada 206 sampel responden remaja berusia 15–24 tahun yang menggunakan narkoba suntik melalui wawancara langsung dengan berpedoman pada kuesioner. Karakterisitk remaja tersebut meliputi karakteristik: pribadi (pengetahuan tentang HIV/AIDS, jenis kelamin, umur, tingkat pendidikan, status ekonomi, posisi urutan dalam keluarga, status orang tua, dengan siapa tinggal), lingkungan sosial (keterpaparan pergaulan dengan pengguna narkoba, pola asuh orang tua, lingkungan tempat tinggal) dan karakteristik budaya (masyarakat fanatisme agama, daerah pendatang/campur, kegiatan di luar rumah). Penelitian menunjukkan gambaran perilaku remaja penasun yang berisiko tertular HIV/AIDS mencapai angka 55,3%. Terdapat 8 (delapan) variabel yang berhubungan erat (p < 0,05) dengan perilaku penasun berisiko yaitu tingkat pengetahuan, umur, tingkat pendidikan, status ekonomi, status orang tua, pola asuh orang tua, lingkungan tempat tinggal dan kegiatan di luar rumah. Variabel yang paling dominan adalah tingkat pengetahuan dimana remaja penasun yang mempunyai tingkat pengetahuan kurang, mempunyai risiko tertular HIV/AIDS 6,9 kali dibandingkan yang mempunyai tingkat pengetahuan baik.Kata kunci : Pengguna narkoba suntik, remaja, HIV/AIDS.AbstractPrevalence of HIV-AIDS in Tangerang City—an industrial area, continues to increase.

In the field of shipping, we know a group of ship crew workers (ABK) who are professions with a high level of mobility. They sail for a long time, days, months, even years, making those who already have a wife / old partner do not meet their wife / partner so that their biological needs are not met. Estimates and projections of the number of people with HIV / AIDS at the age of ≥15 years in Indonesia in 2017 were 628,492 people with a number of new infections as many as 46,357 people and deaths as many as 40,468 people. This study aims to determine the relationship of condom use with HIV / AIDS risk behavior among crew members. This study uses a cross sectional study approach. This research was conducted at the Soekarno-Hatta Port of Makassar, with a total sample of 285 respondents. The results of the study found that there was a relationship between the use of condoms and HIV / AIDS risk behavior among crew members.

Study Results

Background: Industries are sources of environmental pollutants. However, there are few human biomonitoring (HBM) studies in the vicinity of industrial areas. Thus, we evaluate the feasibility of conducting an HBM study to assess exposure to metals in an industrial area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted near a steel factory. Adults (exposed = 775; controls = 775) were randomly selected and sex-matched. Subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire and a 24 h dietary recall. Blood samples were collected to analyze metal concentrations, blood count, biochemical parameters, and thyroid hormones. The feasibility of the survey was assessed following guidelines. The descriptive analysis was performed for the first 250 participants (pilot study). Results: Adjustments were made to the survey execution, including age-matching, fieldwork team, questionnaire, blood collection, and research awareness. The complete questionnaire was answered by ≥97% of participants; metals were measured in ≥98% and clinical parameters in ≥89%, except thyroid hormones (13–44%). The average age and family income were of 50 years and USD 575/month, respectively. The participants had equal distribution among sexes: 50% had a medium education level, and 59% were nonwhite. Conclusion: This preliminary HBM study demonstrates feasibility for the total population, with results indicating representativeness of the target population.

Background or Objectives: HIV/AIDS transmission in Ecuador is considered a concentrated epidemic; therefore, there are some studies on high risk groups but there is limited published data regarding the HIV/AIDS risk factors among adolescents of African descent. In this study, we sought to explore the determinants of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and behavior among afro-descendant youths attending schools in the city of Esmeraldas, Ecuador. Methods: A cross-sectional survey among school-attending youths was conducted in Esmeraldas, Ecuador in 2010. Our target population was afro-descendant youths attending the last two years of high school. Thirty public high schools enrolling students in junior and senior years were identified. Outcome data were analyzed in the form of three composite variables. A multivariate linear regression model was built for each outcome. Results: A total of 213 school-attending afro-descendant youths aged 14 to 21 years old were enrolled in this study. Gender distribution was almost equal with a 1:1.17 male to female ratio. Overall, students in this population scored well in comprehensive knowledge of HIV with 88% having medium or higher knowledge. Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Knowledge of HIV and its determinants was medium to high, but knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases was low among afro-descendant Ecuadorian adolescents in our study. Results of this study might be instrumental in facilitating decision-making processes related to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention and control strategies in this specific population.
