AB Indonesia, an archipelago with a population of 185 million consisting of
more than 150 ethnic groups is at the cross roads with regards to the
AIDS epidemic. The first AIDS case was detected in 1987. As of 31
December 1993, the number of reported HIV infections is 193, including
49 cases of AIDS. The modes of transmission are heterosexual blood
(64%), homo/bisexual (32%), intravenous drug use (2%) and use of blood
products 2%. The reported number of HIV infections greatly
underestimates the magnitude of the problem. It is likely that the true
figure is a 100 times higher, so that Indonesia may have around 20,000
HIV infections. The Indonesian government has taken several measures to
control the spread of HIV/AIDS. A National AIDS Committee was
established by the Minister of Health in 1987. A Short Term Plan
(1988-1989), an Interim Plan (1990-1991) and a Medium Term Plan
(1991-1994) have been formulated. A National AIDS Plan, involving all
relevant ministries is being formulated and its implementation will be
coordinated at a higher level, possibly, by the coordinating Minister of
People's Welfare.
