Summary
Increasing new HIV infections
Increasing trends among women and new
infections consistently high among low risk
women and probably increasing
Low condom use among high risk men (clients of

HIV TRANSMISSION IN INTIMATE
PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS
HIV transmission among intimate partners
in Indonesia- key facts
Intimate partnership refers to marriage
HIV epidemic powered by men who buy sex, men who inject drugs
and men who have sex with men
Evidence of transmission expanding to people who buy and sell sex
and wives
15% IDUs, 46% of MSMs and 32% of mobile men buy sex. 15% of
MSMs are married (most likely their bisexual status is hidden from
their spouses) and 66% of mobile men live with families.
No data on intimate partners of IDUs or sex workers. Information
on types of partners of MSMs is not known.
Projected total number of HIV
infections among various groups linked
to IDUs in Jakarta 2000-2020
HIV transmission among intimate partners
in Indonesia- key facts
The data on HIV among married women is not available
Less than 1 percent of ANC clients are tested for HIV and it
was found that 3 percent of those tested have been positive.
ANC Surveillance not done except in Papua (because of the
nature of the epidemic)
HIV prevalence among pregnant women was estimated at
0.38 percent in 2012, and was expected to increase to 0.49
percent in 2016
In Indonesia, it is estimated that about 4.9 million women are
wives of men who are at risk of HIV infection

RECOMMENDATIONS
Policy and strategies
Source: UNAIDS Guidance Note on identifying opportunities for addressing Intimate Partner Transmission of HIV in
GFATM Proposals and National Strategic AIDS Plans
Gathering evidence for developing the
strategy on prevention of intimate partner
transmission
Assess the current SRH services for MSMs,
IDUs and FSWs
Map the availability and accessibility and
barriers to accessing services (should cover
public and private sector facilities)
Assess the coverage, quality, effectiveness and
whether there is adequate focus on
prevention among their intimate partners and
emphasis on dual protection
Promotion of dual protection is critical
for preventing intimate partner
transmission
Dual protection means the simultaneous
prevention of unintended pregnancy and HIV and
STIs infection through the consistent and correct
use of male or female condoms, alone or in
combination with another contraceptive method.
A woman and man of reproductive age group
need dual protection if they are having sexual
intercourse and want to avoid a pregnancy or
protection from STIs or HIV if one of them had
unprotected intercourse with another partner of
the same sex or opposite sex
Major recommendations for promotion of
dual protection policy and programmes
Current HIV/AIDS and STI policies including
policies on prevention of mother to child
transmission should incorporate dual protection
using condoms.
Family planning services should ensure
information about dual protection. Risk
assessment of clients for HIV and STI should be
part of counselling and screening for medical
eligibility. Training of providers is critical.
Programme interventions for young peoples
should focus on dual protection
