HIV/AIDS Project

Aksi Stop AIDS (ASA):

Within the past decade, Indonesia has witnessed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. The window of opportunity to prevent the exponential spread of HIV into the general population, with disastrous consequences, is fast closing. USAID is assisting the government of Indonesia to address the spread of HIV among most-at-risk-groups, including commercial sex workers and their clients; injecting drug users; men who have sex with men; and the general population of Papua, where the epidemic is emerging rapidly. The program aims to: (1) increase coverage and use of risk reduction behaviors, practices and services; (2) improve the capacity of partner agencies to self-assess and enhance their performance; and (3) strengthen institutional responses from the AIDS Commissions (at all levels), clinics, the prison system, and the uniformed services.

ASA is a three-year program, being implemented by Family Health International (FHI), which works in seven provinces, including DKI/Jakarta West Java, East Java, Central Java, Papua, Riau Islands, and North Sumatra.  In these seven provinces, ASA works in 78 of the total 100 districts identified by the Government of Indonesia as being priority areas.
