Results: The input of the HIV-AIDS prevention was systematically programmed, including education on the used of lubricants and protection/ condoms, budget monitoring and evaluation, and counseling to homosexual men. The process of program had been implemented in accordance with the existing program implementation guidelines.

HIV infection is spreading among the poor, women, and migrant communities in the interior of Northeast Brazil. The research focused on different configurations, beliefs, representations, and forms of social organization of behavior thought to be associated with the population's capacity to efficiently follow AIDS prevention measures. Participants located in neighborhoods known for having large migrant populations were identified by Family Health Program Workers in Fortaleza and Teresina. The study adopted a qualitative methodology. Several belief-system concepts and values, as well as the social organization of sexuality revealed in the study, represent obstacles both to AIDS prevention and condom use. Hunger, lack of prospects, and fear are associated with a social situation of poverty, exclusion, prejudice, and total absence of basic human rights When examined together, these elements define different configurations in the migrants' increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. The groups' increased vulnerability relates to the socioeconomic complexity that must be considered in HIV/AIDS control and prevention programs.

Background: The number of people infected HIV/ AIDS continues to increase, including in Jambi. The reports from January to September showed 51 people with HIV infection occurred in Jambi. The accessibility of HIV/ AIDS voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services are important in high risk area. This study aimed to investigate the HIV/ AIDS prevention program through the implementation of voluntary counseling and testing services at primary health center, Jambi. Subjects and Method: The mix-method study was conducted at three locations, including Tanjung Pinang, Rawasari, and Pakuan Baru Community Health Centres, from March to May 2020. The study’s informants were HIV/ AIDS counselors, laboratorian/ pharmacists, and HIV / AIDS risk groups who visited the VCT clinic. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations. The data were reported descriptively. Results: The implementation of the VCT program was generally good (82%), i.e., counselors had attended the training at least once, and the education level of health workers was standard. The health professionals were friendly and used simple and understandable language to communicate with clients. The facilities and infrastructure showed that the cleanroom was clean, but the other facilities were still incomplete. There was only one door in the counseling room and the absence of an information board for the VCT service flow. Some of these HIV/ AIDS counselors also had responsibility for some other programs besides VCT services. There was a WhatsApp group with risk groups. Conclusion: The VCT program is well implemented. Some improvements in terms of periodic evaluation of the implementation of VCT services, upgrading staff skills and providing an adequate number of facilities and infrastructure.

The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the implementation of Banyuwangi district Regulation no.5 2017, concerning of HIV/AIDS prevention and control for gay and trangender population. The research method used in this study is descriptive-qualitative. The research results on implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention and control for the gay and transgender population on Banyuwangi : First, the communication aspects carried out by the implementor actors have gone well and can carry out collaborative activities, Second, in terms of general resources, it is said to be sufficient, Third, the disposition aspect of the implementor has been very positive, and Four, the aspects of beurocratic structure, where the divison roles between implementing agencies are very clear. Furthermore, the driving factor of the implementation, is the existence of a good relationship between actors of implementor and a high sense of social concern for the problem of HIV/AIDS among individual implementers. The inhibiting factor is that there are still some members of the population from gay and transgender community, who are still difficult to be given directive and the delays in funding support by the government.

Aims: This study compares the sexual behaviour of the residents of Bonny kingdom, Rivers State in pre-intervention and post-intervention periods of a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention program carried out by the African Health Project in collaboration with independent research consultants and members of the Ibanise HIV/AIDS initiative in the community for three years from 2009-2012. Methodology: This is a quantitative survey that used a structured questionnaire among a representative sample of the general population aged 15 – 49 years. Post-intervention survey was conducted three years after the pre-intervention survey. The data obtained include the demographics; age, sex, education, occupation, marital status and sexual related information. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: This study comprised 1021 (53.3%) males and 895 females (46.7%) in the pre-intervention survey and 659 (54.2%) males and 556 (45.7%) in the post-intervention survey, mostly aged 15-34 years and had secondary education. More females have ever had sex in both surveys but there was a significant reduction in the percentage of males who have ever had sex from 70.8% to 42.0% in pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys respectively. The rate of sexual activities was very high before intervention among unmarried males (51.6%), age 15-24 years (69.6%), secondary education (50.7%) and graduates (65.9%). However, there was a drastic reduction in these values after the interventions. During pre-intervention survey, 9.4% of females and 13% of males had ever accepted or given gifts exchange for sex while the post-intervention survey showed a decrease into 8.0% among females and 5.5% among males. This proportion was 13.0% among adolescents 15-24 years in the pre-intervention survey and 4.7% in the post-intervention survey. Also, there was 65.0% decrease in the proportion of singles who had ever received gifts in exchange for sexual intercourse after the intervention. A high proportion of the males had multiple sexual partners during the pre-intervention survey (34.6%) but the value reduced to 3.2% after the intervention. Similarly, the percentage of the adolescent who had multiple sexual partners reduce from 22.2% to 2.5% due to the intervention. The pre-intervention survey showed that about 56.0% of males and 81.0% of females had sex with non-marital partners while the post-intervention survey showed that about 71.0% of males and 76.0% of females did same. Conclusion: The study has shown a significant positive impact of health interventions in improving the sexual behaviour of Bonny residents. However, more and regular interventions are needed in this environment to further prevent the spread of HIV and STIs due to the vulnerability of the residents, especially the adolescents to sexually transmitted infection.There is also need for more study to evaluate the impact of sexual and reproductive health programs for adolescence and adult that already exist in Nigeria in comparison with the HIV intervention outcome.
