Indonesia
Indonesia introduced pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in 21 districts and 34 healthcare facilities are now providing PrEP services to men who have sex with men, HIV negative partners and serodiscordant couple without prior assessment (UNAIDS Secretariat). In addition, 7776 condoms were distributed to refugees to prevent HIV transmissions; and 46 refugee representatives and volunteers were trained as HIV peer counsellors and supported to promote HIV prevention and treatment and provide support services among refugees (UNHCR).
In collaboration with the Directorate-General of Corrections, the Prison Health Information System was updated to integrate healthcare recording and reporting systems improving HIV prevention and treatment services among people in the correctional system (UNODC).
Midwives and community volunteers from 11 primary healthcare centres were trained on the delivery of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services and a rapid assessment of the national PMTCT programme was finalized to accelerate progress towards elimination of vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B (UNICEF).
A total of 131 districts implemented a comprehensive HIV prevention model strengthening service delivery among female sex workers. In addition, seven districts rolled out a pilot project with 934 participants (sex workers and their partners) to prevent intimate partner transmission of HIV. This was done through a partnership with the network of people living with HIV in Indonesia (UNFPA). Technical support in 514 districts increased access to testing, e.g., through the provision of 140 000 viral load testing reagents which expanded these services to about 85% of the people living with HIV in the country (WHO).
