Abstract Background: The incidence of tuberculosis in HIV patients (TB-HIV) w as estimated at 126 per 100,000 in the world. The number of HIV infected patients in Indonesia around 190,000 to 400,00 0 and the prevalence of TB-HIV is 5%. Data TB-HIV still increase s and they are un aware of that until a late stage. Understanding the risk factors of people with TB-HIV co-infection is important to know. This study aims to know the predictors of TB-HIV patients in the clinic voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in Medan city. Methods: This is a case-control study. The case is TB-HIV patients (aged > 20 years) seen at clinic VCT Medan in 2016. Control is HIV patients without TB (aged > 20 years) seen in the same clinic VCT. The number of cases was 120 and the number of control 120. Data were collected from the medical record. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test in SPSS software. Results: The t otal was 240 patients. The majority were in the age group 31-40 years old (52.9%), male (75.8%), married (71.7%), had tertiary education (85.4%), had employment (89.2%) . Significant factors were CD4 < 500 cells/ml (OR 3.92; 95% CI 2.13-7.22), BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 (OR 5.79; 95% CI 3.25-10.21), had history of TB family (OR 7.9; 95% CI 3.67-18.18), adherence ARV (OR 1.35; 95% CI 1.02-1.79). Conclusions: The predictors of incidence TB-HIV co-infection was low CD4, low BMI, and had a family history of TB. Pay the attention for the nutritional status of TB-HIV patients and provide appropriate nutritional intake needs and adherence ARV.

<p>Background: The CCR5.32 polymorphism (a naturally occurring 32-bp deletion in CCR5) influences the ability of HIV-1 to infect the target cells. Homozygosity for CCR5.32 prevents infection of HIV-1 R5 strain, while the heterozygous is associated with lower plasma viral load and delayed progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, there is no report about the presentation of CCR5.32 polymorphisms in Indonesian HIV patients. The aim of this study is to detect CCR5.32 polymorphisms in Indonesian HIV patients, especially in Voluntary Counseling and Testing Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta, Indonesia. In an ongoing molecular epidemiology study of blood borne virus, 154 HIV patients in Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta were used for the study. The blood samples were collected during November – December 2011. The blood samples were aliquoted and fractionated. The DNA was extracted from all blood samples, and subjected for the PCR assay to detect the presentation of CCR5.32 polymorphisms. Internal amplification control was included in all assays. PCR products were analyzed in 3% agarose. The results showed that CCR5.32 polymorphism was not detected in all blood samples. So it can be concluded that all patients in this study had the CCR5 wild type.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: CCR5.32, HIV, Indonesia.</p>

Intervensi perilaku sangat penting dilakukan dalam pencegahan HIV sebagai intervensi dalam upaya meningkatkan status kesehatan. Tujuan: Mengetahui bentuk intervensi perilaku untuk mengukur outcome dari pencegahan terjadinya HIV terutama pada kelompok berisiko. Metode:  Electronic database dari jurnal yang telah dipublikasikan melalui ProQuest, PubMed., dan ScienceDirect. Hasil: Review dari delapan jurnal yang telah dipilih menyatakan bahwa intervensi perilaku memberi pengaruh terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan tentang HIV/AIDS, konseling bagi kelompok dengan rIsiko tinggi seperti pada Lelaki Seks dengan Lelaki (LSL) dan juga pelaksanaan tes HIV atau yang dikenal dengan Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VST). Instrumen penelitian yang  digunakan untuk mengukur behavioral intervention pada penelitian kuantitaif yakni kuesioner, instrumen berbasis komputer dan internet seperti sosial media, sedangkan pada penelitian kualitatif menggali informasi dengann indepth interview dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penguatan intervensi perilaku dalam pencegahan HIV memberi manfaat dalam peningkatan pengetahuan, persepsi dan perilaku pencegahan HIV positif, serta penurunan stigma bagi ODHA. Simpulan: Penguatan intervensi perilaku dapat mencegah terjadinya HIV pada kelompok berisiko sehingga dapat meningkatkan derajat kesehatan.Kata kunci: intervensi perilaku, pencegahan HIV, LSL
