Abstract

Prevention is very important to be done by People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in order not to transmit the HIV virus to other people which causes an increasing number of HIV cases. This study aims to determine the factors associated with prevention of HIV transmission by PLWHA at the Taratak Jiwa Hati Padang Foundation in 2018. This type of research is a quantitative method with a cross sectional design. The study began in September 2018 until May 2019. The number of samples in this study were 51 respondents using purposive sampling method. Data analysis using Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Respondents who did not prevent HIV transmission were 31.4%, had a low level of knowledge of 25.5%, had a negative attitude towards prevention of HIV transmission by 39.2%, did not get good infrastructure facilities at 41.2%, did not get the role of health workers at 45.1%, and did not get the role of NGO officers by 31.4%. The results of bivariate analysis have a relationship between knowledge, attitudes, the role of health workers, and the role of NGO officers. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the most related variable to prevent HIV transmission was attitude. The most related factor for prevention of HIV transmission by PLWHA is attitude (p = 0.007; POR = 8.638 95% CI = 1.780–41,918). It is also expected that health workers can increase knowledge of PLWHA by providing information about the use of needles and safe use of condoms whenever PLWHA visits the VCT Polyclinic in the hospital and it is also expected that health workers can provide condoms and needles.
