ABSTRACT Background : Research on ocular inflammation associated with gonorrhea began in conjunction with the entry of trachoma into South of Jakarta, Indonesia (2011-2014) during the Napoleonic wars. The initial questions involved the cause of the contagiousness of gonorrhea and how the contagion spreads from the genitalia to other sites. Because efforts to infect animals with gonorrheal matter were unsuccessful, all experiments were conducted on human subjects. Once these two causes of blindness were tentatively differentiated, attempts to restore vision in an eye that had been blinded by a trachomatous membrane over the cornea by instilling gonorrheal pus began to be practiced. In 1841, Joseph Piringer described his use of this method to determine infectiousness decades before the discovery of pathogenic bacteria, as well as ethical concerns about the associated endangerment of patients. Beginning in the 1880s, research focused on the identification of the gonococcus and assessment of its pathogenicity. The ethical dilemma of inducing a disease with an unpredictable outcome persisted until the 1940s, when gonorrhea could be reliably cured by penicillin.

Vaccination to Reduce the Incidence of Human Papillomavirus Infection as a Sexually Transmitted Infection that Leads to Cervical Cancer Dharmala AB, Martha E, Haryanto SS Kristen Krida Wacana University ABSTRACT Title : Vaccination to Reduce the Incidence of Human Papillomavirus as a Sexually Transmitted Infection that Leads to Cervical Cancer Background : The increasing numbers of sexually transmitted infections around the world, especially developing countries. Material and Methods : The method that we used to complete this paper was study literatures. We searched literatures according to our chosen topics and group them by our paper’s sections. Results : Indonesia takes the second place to be the largest amount of cervical cancer patients after China. Discussions : The human papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to a family of papillomaviruses that have been watched through the ages and studied in a variety of animal models. HPV genome produce the necessary viral proteins (virion), which leads to active viral production in an orchestrated manner. HPV viral DNA synthesis occurs early after infection as part of an initial amplification of viral genomic DNA. The HPV genome exists in an extrachromosomal form known as an episome in low-grade lesions caused by HPV from both low- and high-risk types. Natural or innate immunity to the HPV virus is responsible for 90% of clearance of initial viral infection in spite of the relative lack of detectable systemic humoral response and a blunted cellular immune response to the early proteins produced after infection. To prevent the incident of the HPV infection, vaccine issue is needed. The vaccine contained nine HPV-16 E6 and four HPV-16 E7 synthetic peptides. After they received the last vaccination, 85% of the patients had circulating vaccine-induced HPV- 16–specific T cells, which proliferated when stimulated with E6, E7, or both. Conclusions : Indonesia takes the second place to be the largest amount of cervical cancer. The source of these problem is the infection of HPV. Preventing by vaccination is working. With 85% of the patients are protected from the infection of HPV, because of the vaccination, lowering the amount of the patients will be possible. Keywords

Transmission

Gaspard, K.J., Noble K.A., 2007) Both genital and nongenital HPV appear to be transmitted predominantly through closed "skin- to-skin" or "mucosa-tomucosa” contact and transmission is facilitated by minor trauma at the site of inoculation. The incubation period for HPV infection ranged from 3 weeks to 8 months, with an average of 3 months. Similarly, 60% of the male consorts of women

Treatment

therapies.

Podofilox is a topical antimitotic agent that results in visible necrosis of wart tissue. The safety of podofilox during pregnancy has not been established. Imiquimod cream is a new type of therapeutic agent that stimulates the body’s immune system (i.e., production of interferons and other cytokines) to induce complete regression of lesions, which was associated with clearance of HPV DNA from the lesion as well as an increase in

infiltrating dendritic

cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD94+ natural killer cells. It is category B drug and therefore potentially safe for use in pregnancy. Imiquimod cream is an immune-response modulator that binds to toll – like receptor 7 and promotes type 1 T-cell–mediate immunity and its

A Comprehensive Approach of Guidance for Condom Promotion in Society Januardi Indra, Imaculata Goldnesia, Yuan Laura AMSA-UB, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Brawijaya

ABSTRACT Introduction: HIV-AIDS now become a global health issue. HIV-AIDS is syndroms caused by deficiency immune system. According to WHO, until 2013 prevalence of HIVAIDS was remained high. There were approximately 35.0 [33.1–37.2] million people living with HIV and 1.5 [1.4–1.7] million people died from HIV globally. Health promotion held by government faces many obstacles. One of the problem is condoms are always connected to the risky sexual behavior. Condom socialization in Indonesia lately caused a more rejection and hatred mindset toward condom because it’s wrongly done. That’s why we need a better method. Material and Methods: Using open question quisionnaire with four groups targets (colleagues, parents, teachers, and religous figures). The variables are their knowledge about condoms function, reasons why rejecting condoms, where they got opinion, and their stance about their opinion. Results: 98% responders know about the function of condoms. Reasons why rejecting condoms are 72% condoms will increase the number of free sex, 13% against religious thought, 8% uneffective method, 7% against social value. 49% responders got opinion from their own idea, 36% from news and media, 13% from religion basic, 2% did not answer. 87% of responders would still go against condom 10% of responders would change their mind and 3% did not answer the question. Discussion: Effort of promoting condom in the society has been quite successful (98% responders know condoms’ function). Instead, the effort of promoting condom in form of socialization should be focus on promoting condom as an effective STD transmission prevention and start leaving the old trend to promote it as a contraception tool. News and other media take quite a huge impact toward people mindset. As a solution government should provide the data that shown the existence of condom did not in line with the increasing of sexual abuse case, or it’s not contribute to the case of sexual abuse instead condom protect the sexual abuse victim from infected by STD. Conclusions: Three things as guides for distributing and promoting condom. Condom socialization should focus on promoting condom as an effective STD prevention tool, and not/minimize talking about condom as contraception tool.Government have to provide the data/fact that condom existence did not contribute to the increasing of sexual abuse, instead it protect the sexual abuse victim from STD.Government should introduce the method to spread condom that has no impact to the increasing of free sex habit.

Recombinant Brd4 Carboxyl Terminal Domain as a Potential Cervical Cancer Preventive Therapy in High-risk Human Papillomavirus-Infected Women

Kevin Julio Wijanarko & Gabriele Jessica Kembuan Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, Surabaya ABSTRACT Background

Human papillomavirus infection is an extremely widespread sexually-transmitted disease affecting almost all sexually active men and women at some point in their lives. While many infections remain asymptomatic, HPV infection can lead to diseases like genital warts, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. A novel vaccine is already available for HPV infection prevention, however this vaccine offers no protection to patients already infected by HPV prior to vaccination. The expensive price and lack of education of women, especially Southeast Asian women, are barriers for effective HPV screening and prevention. Affected women rarely undergoes Pap smear and other screening methods, resulting in mostly high-grade cervical cancers by the time of diagnosis. We analyzed the molecular biology of human papillomavirus and its life cycle to postulate a new idea about a therapy that is possibly effective for HPV-infected cells, and thus can be used by women who is already infected by HPV prior to vaccination, or unvaccinated women. Materials & Methods We conducted a systematic review of journals through evidence-based methods to formulate a new idea for human papillomavirus therapy in infected cells. Results We propose a protein recombinant pre-cancer therapy for HPV-infected cervical epithelial cells, which consist of a recombinant Brd4 protein, combining only the CTD domain of a Brd4 protein, which binds protein E2 transactivation domain and to nuclear localization signal. The nuclear localization signal will be bound to Importin-" and translocate along with the recombinant CTD domain into the nucleus, where it stabilizes E2 proteins in the nucleus. Nuclear E2 proteins can lower human papillomavirus DNA transcription and repress the expression of E6 & E7 oncogene proteins that are crucial for HPV-inducted cervical carcinogenesis. Conclusion Our proposed pre-cancer therapy for HPV-infected cervical is projected to present an end result of E2-protein induced lowering of HPV DNA transcription, and inhibition of E6 & E7 oncogenic proteins. This therapy will be available in the form of vaginal suppository to


ensure direct access to HPV-infected vaginal basal keratinocytes. We foresee barriers for the implementation of this therapy, such as lack of government funding and medical research, lack of patients’ knowledge, and the reluctance to use treatments in the form of vaginal suppositories. Medical professionals and medical students may further research this proposed therapy to determine the efficacy, effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness, and also to educate women about cervical cancer, HPV, and HPV vaccine Contact details: Kevin Julio Wijanarko Kevin_julioch@yaho o.com 089688884209

Center of Disease Control and Prevention (2008) also explains that in most cases, HPV goes away on its own, but if it doesn’t it may cause health problems such as genital warts and cancer. HPV can also cause cervical and other cancers including cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharyngeal cancers.

Knowledge and Attitude of Religion-Based and Non-Religious-Based Organizations Towards HIV/AIDS Social Stigma Fidelisa Cita Arini, Zakirunallah Karunia, Nurul Fadhilah Faculty of Medicine Hasanuddin University Makassar

ABSTRACT Introduction: HIV/AIDS stigma exists around the world in a variety of ways, including rejection, avoidance of HIV infected people, and violence against HIV infected individuals or people who are perceived to be infected with HIV. Stigma-related violence or the fear of discrimination prevents many people from seeking HIV testing, returning for their results, or securing treatment, possibly turning what could be a manageable chronic illness into a death sentence and perpetuating the spread of HIV. Erasing the stigma in society is essential for encouraging people at risk to seek medical help about diagnosis and treatment. In Indonesia, we believed that religious society is a major stakeholder to erase the stigma. Indonesia is a country that based on religion. A number of different religions are practiced in the country, and their collective influence on the country's political, economic and cultural life is significant. In this research, we compare the knowledge and attitude in religious and non-religious organizations in Indonesia regarding HIV/AIDS and find the connection to develop option to reduce HIV/AIDS stigma in Indonesian society. Methods: In this study, we combine survey and literature study. After doing introduction which includes backgound and several theories regarding HIV/AIDS and social stigma about it, we conducted research based on an online questionnaire. The respondents are members of either religion-based or non-religion-based organizations originated from several cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Bandung, Denpasar, Makassar). Results: A total of 171 questionnaires were received and analyzed. The respondents from religion-based organizations are 81 people and from a non-religion-based organizations are 90 people. The most significant finding is that only 36.2% respondents from religion-based organizations claims that they avoid HIV positive people while the non-religion-based counterparts scores 45.2%. Conclusion: The knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS in religion based and non religion based organization in Indonesia is considered as good with the overall score higher than 80%. Religion-based organizations show better attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients with only 36.2% of the members that judge or avoid HIV/AIDS positive people and the nonreligion-based counterpart got higher score of 45.2%. In this research, we conclude that religion-based organizations can help the society to reduce the stigma by showing others that religion-based organizations don’t avoid people with HIV.

THE EFFECT OF AMSA’S PHILOSOPHY TOWARDS ATTITUDE AND KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN MAKASSAR ABOUT HIV/AIDS

Rabinda Fitriana Tuasikal, Febrianty Elisabeth Pandede, Marini Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, Makassar

Abstract Introduction

HIV and AIDS is a matter of concern because the number of cases has increased over years. As medical student, we assume students tend to have knowledge about HIV/AIDS. There are some different attitude towards HIV and people living with HIV. Positive attitudes are far more common among respondents with good knowledge, while poor knowledge is to a greater extent associated with negative attitudes. Material and method

The objective of this study was to asses medical student’s knowledge about HIV and their attitude to people with HIV. We want to see how AMSA can affect the attitude of the students in medical faculty and their knowledge comparing with non-members. Through random sampling, students from 3 medical faculty in Makassar were assessed by questionnaires. Respondents were asked about their knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS. Then the data was analyzed and converted to a chart using SPSS 16.0. Result

The analysis indicated that AMSA members have high quality of knowledge about sexually transmitted infection or especially HIV/AIDS comparing with non-AMSA members who become respondents that some of them (5%) still have low quality of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The study revealed that most of AMSA member knows the cause, system that affected, onset, symptoms, transmission, complication, risk factor and prevention of HIV. We can also know that knowledge affect student’s attitude towards people with HIV and AIDS. Via its events, AMSA providing better acknowledgement about sexually transmitted infection to its members, that affects AMSA members’ attitude to people live with HIV/AIDS. Conclusion

From the study we can know that AMSA members have better knowledge about HIV/AIDS compared to non – member. AMSA members also tend to be more tolerant and have positive attitudes towards people live with HIV/AIDS.

People with HIV/AIDS usually come to doctor with fever, weight loss, diarrhea, and some other symptoms. But, the symptoms will appear after some onset time about 5-10 years after they get infected. The transmission of HIV/AIDS can be by blood, vaginal fluid, and sperm. It is a fatal disease that can make lots of complication

So that the community that have high risk to have this kind of disease are drug abusers, sexual workers, doctors, and nurses. Because not only sexual workers that can be transmitted by HIV but also doctors, nurses, even innocent people that receive blood from HIV/AIDS

Material and Methods People’s attitude and knowledge about HIV/AIDS are different one another. Of course the differences itself are affected by several factors.

Chart 3.12 Knowledge about HIV/AIDS

From chart 3.12 above, we can directly know that all AMSA members have high quality of knowledge about sexually transmitted infection or especially HIV/AIDS comparing with non-AMSA members who become respondents that some of them (5%) still have low quality of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Moreover, they are medical students but still have lack of knowledge about the disease they have to master. Although there are 45% of non-AMSA respondents have high quality of knowledge, but based on the data that we get, the score that AMSA member have is still higher than non-AMSA member. Beside the variable about knowledge, we also do survey about another variable that is attitude. Attitude here refers to the act the medical students will do to the HIV/AIDS patients, whether they will discriminate them or not. In the questioner we spread, there are six scale question about the attitude toward HIV/AIDS patients. The scale is one until five that represent their thought about the question or sentence given, whether they very agree, agree, average, disagree, or


very disagree. Here are the result below : Chart 3.13 Attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients

respondents who less discriminative have lower number of scale. From chart 3.13 above, it is clearly show us that non-AMSA respondents tend to be more discriminative to HIV/AIDS patients comparing to the AMSA members.

Never Too Late To Stop HIV Andhika Rezky B, Atika Rosada, Ayang Rashelda, Asfarul Anam, Carmelita Christina, King Panji Islami, Pinka Nurashri Setyati Faculty of Medicine, Trisakti University Background: HIV/AIDS is still becoming a major problem for developing country and Indonesia is listed as one. Many of the infected pones are still unaware of their own current condition, thus didn’t get the right treatment from doctor and die eventually. Another thing to be thought is that as we are aware with the fact that society still mistreat the infected person and still considered it as taboo, they are isolated by their community or even their own family in which their support are the most needed. It will make them get depressed and might as well suicide is inevitable. We as medical student and future doctor must eradicate this issue and help educate people to become more aware with their risk and in the same time help people with HIV by embracing them, giving them care and treat them well to restore and build back their spirit. Society education by growing awareness to prevent themself and people around them from getting infected considered as an efficient way to help reduce the number in the future. One of the method as a refreshing way to help spread the news and educate the community is to make an intriguing instruments that will catch their interest supported by an effective way of communication to ensure that the community get the message right.

HIV Academic and Research Faculty of Medicine, Padjadjaran University HIV/AIDS remains one of the world’s most significant public health challenges, particularly in low and middle income countries. The vast majority of people living with HIV are in low and middle income countries. Globally, an estimated 35.0 million (33.1 37.2 million) people were living with HIV in 2013 and 3.2 million (2.9 3.5 million) of these were children. An estimated 39 million people have died from AIDS related causes so far, including 1.5 million (1.4 1.7 million) in 2013. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that infect cell of the immune system, destroying and impairing their function, breaking down the body’s ability to fend off some infections and other disease. As the infection progresses, the immune system becomes weaker and the person becomes more susceptible to infections. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) refers to the most advanced stages of HIV infection, defined by the occurrence of any of more than 20 opportunistic infections or related cancers. It can take 10 15 years for an HIV infected person to develop AIDS, antiretroviral drugs can slow down the processes even further. If the reproduction of the HIV virus stops, then the body’s immune cells are able to live longer and provide the body with protection from infections. Reaching the goal of treatment for all remains a huge challenge. About 85% of all people living with HIV are eligible for ART. As a result of recent advances in access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV positive people can live freely, live longer and in healthier lives. In addition, it has been confirmed that ART prevents onward transmission of HIV. At the end of 2013, 11.7 million people were receiving ART in low and middle income countries, this represents 36% (34% 38%) of the 32.6 million (30.7 34.8 million) people living with HIV in low middle income countries. HIV can be transmitted in several ways: #


Unprotected sexual intercourse with infected person Transfusions of contaminated blood The sharing of contaminated needles, syringes or other sharp instruments. The transmission between a mother and her baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. There are several ways to prevent the HIV transmission: #

Practice safe sexual behaviours such as using condoms. Get tested and treated for Sexually Transmitted Infections, including HIV. Avoid injecting drugs, always use new and disposable needle and syringe. Ensure that any blood or blood products that you might need are tested for HIV.

HIV Prevention : Marriage as The Best Antivirus Ever Afnandito Valeno Risky Sukarelawanto, Amanda Dania Satiti Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada Abstract Lately, HIV has been Yogyakarta's concern because there is an increase of HIV case occurred trhoughout Special District of Yogyakarta. But sadly, the concern not followed with right explanation about how HIV virus spreading among Yogyakarta's people. Many myth and wrong information was tell to people's, and that can make them easyly get HIV because they prevention was wrong. We belive that tell the right information and explain what myth and true fact about “how HIV spreading� to people's will make the more care and awareness. It is our duty as medical students to increasing people's awareness on HIV spreading by many ways. We are just the trigger, but the result success or not of this action was determine by our colaboration and contribution to fight HIV together.

What is Your Status? Fajar Muhammad, Novandika Kurnia Akbar, Desty Annisa Hapsari Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada According to WHO (World Health Organization), eight of the more than 30 pathogens known to be transmitted through sexual contact have been linked to the greatest incidence of illness. Of these 8 infections, the four are viral infections and are incurable, but can be mitigated or modulated through treatment: hepatitis B, herpes, HIV, and HPV. The infections that are spread through person-to-person sexual contact is called sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It can be also transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth, and through blood products and tissue transfer. STIs have an impact on sexual and reproductive health worldwide, and rank among the top 5 disease categories for which adults seek health care.


One of the STIs is HIV/AIDS. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse (anal or vaginal), transfusion of contaminated blood, sharing of contaminated needles, and between a mother and her infant during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. WHO said that there were approximately 35 million people living with HIV at the end of 2013 with 2.1 million people becoming newly infected with HIV in 2013 globally. This video tells us about a man with high risks of getting infected by HIV. He has a girlfriend he’d like to propose. But, in the earlier life, he likes to have sexual intercourse with other girls without using condoms. He uses drugs and maybe also shares injection or needle that most probably contains HIV. He’s in a great risk of having HIV/AIDS, and he maybe doesn’t know that it is possible for him to have such infection and transmit it to the people around him, including the girls he would like to marry. This video delivers a message that HIV tests are important. Testing for HIV and other STIs is strongly advised for all people exposed to any of the risk factors so that they can learn of their own infection status and access preventions and treatments as soon as possible. HIV tests are not for people with high risk factors only, but it is also important for people in general, because sometimes we don’t know that we are already infected with HIV until there are obvious symptoms. To prevent the transmission of diseases is always easier to do than to cure it. So, are you going to remain careless about your status? Go get yours now!

Freedom From HIV Ivan Bintang, Maria Natasya,Januardi Indra Jaya Brawijaya University HIV still becomes a frightening disease since the drugs to cure it effectively still yet to be found. Despite its position as a deadly disease and it’s really easy to transmitted, it’s also easy to prevent it to transmit to your own body. This video works by increasing people awareness about HIV in present situation. It give a picture to the viewer that people might be infected with HIV because of a certain condition like their wife is dying so they have no option beside going to prostitution. But, in the end, they regret it because they are infected of HIV and have a short life expectancy and low quality of life. Beside awareness, this video also giving you information of how to be free from HIV by changing your habit of having free sex, and used condom instead in a certain condition.

Is It Too Late? Chrisandi Yusuf, Camoya Gersom, Cakra Parindra, Andreas Jeffrey, Shelby Ernanda, Hashfi Mafazi Brawijaya University HIV is a retrovirus that causes AIDS. It's a condition in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening infections to thrive. Many factors may lead to the spread of HIV, endangering many lifes. The infection of HIV is without symptoms until an average of 10 years. That means, you never know what hits you and by the time you do, it's already too late. This life is too short. Among choices and ways in life, there are many that can lead us to success and prevail in life. But unfortunately, many people chose the wrong ways. A lot have succumbed to the temptation to have sex unprotected, resulting in many people infected with STDs. And in Indonesia, more than 200.000 people are infected with HIV AIDS. Being infected with HIV, is not a death sentence. Eventually, all people are going to die, would you rather sit tight or do something to make the rest of your life valuable? A change in never too late. Start a change from


within, to help bringing a change for the people. There are some ways to prevent HIV, first by voluntary testing and counseling about HIV when you are in sexual active age. Second, Be faithful, the risk of HIV infection getting higher by doing multiple partners sex. Third, use condom, because condom have a component that will kill sperm cells. Last but not least, sex education coming from teenagers will reduce HIV risk.

When we are speaking about HIV/AIDS, we’re not only speaking about developing countries, but also highly developed countries as well. There are still many parts of the world’s societies that do not have adequate knowledge and understanding of this disease, especially on how it’s transmitted and how it should be treated. With the lack of understanding from the society, all too often, HIV-positive people become targets of discriminations and stigma. Those who stigmatize the people living with HIV falsely believe that the virus could be transmitted even by the slightest touch. When that happens, others start to view HIV-positive people as a threat, resulting the snowball of stigmatization and discrimination becoming wider and bigger. On top of coping with the health challenges posed by HIV disease, HIV-positive people very often face rejection by the people around them. Many of them become isolated – within their homes, in public, and at their workplaces. Due to their fears of being isolated and humiliated, HIV-positive people hide their disease from their spouses, families, and friends. To make things worse, the fear of rejection and isolation prevents HIV-positive people from seeking treatment or even getting tested for HIV in the first place. This means they may spread HIV to others without knowing it and thus causing the magnitude of the HIV epidemics to only continue to skyrocket. Realizing it’s a problem, we choose to handle this situation from its root – the humans itself.

Title: 5% Potassium Hydroxide : a Promising New Treatment for Anogenital Warts M Evandiar Izwardy, Monica Djaja Saputera Tarumanagara University Abstract


Background: Anogenital warts are caused by human papilloma virus and represent one of the most common sexually transmitted disease. The virus may recurrent, persist, or become latent. There is no effective antiviral treatment to eliminate HPV virus and most therapies are aimed at the destruction of visible lesion. Mostly of the treatment of anogenital warts are invasive, pain, expensive; and there is no single therapy that has been proven effective at achieving complete remission in every patient. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of 5% KOH with other treatment such as cyrotherapy and 5-fluorourasil (5-FU) + SA in the treatment of anogenital warts. Material and Methods: A systematic literature method was designed and carried out using MEDLINE, EMBASE for trial published from 2011 to 2014. Result and Discussion: Therapies for anogenital warts are generally recommended based on some features, such as consideration of efficacy, side effect, and cost. The efficacy of 5% KOH same as 5-FU + SA and cyrotherapy. However, 5% KOH can cause varying side effect, such as irritation, transient burning sensasion, and erosion, but that side effect still safe for patient. On the other hand, 5% KOH treatment is the cheapest among the other treatments. Conclusion: 5% KOH is a promising new treatment for anogenital warts because it is as effective as cyrotherapy and 5-FU + SA, have a minimal side effects, and inexpensive than the other treatments Keywords: anogenital warts; 5% potassium hydroxide (5% KOH), 5-FU +SA, cyrotherapy

Lemon as An Agent in Eliminating HIV-1 Rio Alexsandro, Mutiara Lirendra, Rainhard Octovianto Tarumanagara University INTRODUCTION: More than 34 millions of world population are diagnosed with HIV and approximately 12% of the cases are in the South East Asia region, approximately in 67% are transmitted by sexual intercourse. Lemon is believed to be an agent in eliminating HIV, but it still a debateable subject. Further review of the on going research is necessary. METHODS: The data collecting strategy was based on the Cochrane HIV/AIDS Review Group. These following electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials : Pubmed – Indexed to Medline , AIDSearch , EMBASE and CINAHL from 2005 – 2011 , The Conchrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Central) in 2011 and The Abstracts of Relevant Conferences including Society of Obstetric & Gynecology Indonesia & The International AIDS Conference from 2005 – 2011. Two authors independently assessed the methodological quality of the trials and extracted data and the authors of the respective studies were contacted for additional data. RESULT: Four out of 71 articles were relevant to be reviewed. Two articles that support the hypothesis that lemon is an agent in eliminating HIV. DISCUSSION: According to the articles pH level is a significant factor in eliminating the virus. In comparison the researches that support the hypothesis took a careful meassurement of pH both in lemon and in subject that was applied by lemon juice, conversely the reasearches that didn’t support the hypothesis didn’t take an adequate note in pH meassurement. CONCLUSION: Lemon is an agent of eliminating HIV due to it’s acid pH. # #

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN STAVUDINE ADMINISTRATION WITH LIPODYSTROPHY AND DYSLIPIDEMIA AMONG HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS IN DR. KARIADI HOSPITAL SEMARANG ABSTRACT Christopher Octavianus, Valensa Yosephi, Christian Tricaesario, Jacob Bunyamin Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University

Abstract: Stavudine (d4T) administration has contributed in decreasing mortality rate of HIVinfected patients. In the other hand, stavudine is known to cause serious side effects such as lipodystrophy and dyslipidemia. Both side effects are known to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular complications. Aims: This study aimed to determine the association between stavudine administration with lipodystrophy and dyslipidemia among HIV-infected patients in Dr. Kariadi Hospital and also determine the factors associated with lipodystrophy and dyslipidemia. This study was an observational analytic study using cross-sectional method. Forty samples were divided into stavudine group (23 samples) and control group (17). All respondents had their lipid profile observed and lipodystrophy assessed by attending


physicians in VCT clinic Dr. Kariadi Hospital. Obtained data were analyzed using ChiSquare Test and Fisher’s Exact Test. The prevalence of lipodystrophy was 21.7% and dyslipidemia was 82.6% in stavudine group. Stavudine administration was significantly associated with dyslipidemia (p=0.008) especially in triglycerides elevation and HDL-c depletion (p=0.048 and p=0.009). Stavudine administration was not significantly associated with lipodystrophy (p=0.051) although it was associated with lipoatrophy of buttock and face (p=0.026 and p=0.013). Being female was associated with lipodystrophy incidence in stavudine group (p =0.014). Sex, age, CD4 count, and duration of treatment were not associated with dyslipidemia in stavudine group. Stavudine administration was associated with dyslipidemia among HIV-infected patients in Dr. Kariadi Hospital and was not associated with lipodystrophy.

Potency of DNA Vaccine Expressing E6 and E7 Antigen Administrated Using Free Needle Injector as Tumor Supressor Agent in Cervical Cancer Kharisma Ridho Husodo, Thoha Muhajir Albaar and Made Pradnyawati Chania Faculty of Medicine Brawijaya University ABSTRACT Cervical cancer is one of cancer with the most affected people. Cervical cancer is caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV has E6 and E7 proteins which play a role in cervical cancer pathogenesis. E6 and E7 proteins virus are able to decrease p53 and retinoblastoma activities selectively. They cause uncontrolable cell proliferation. However, cervical cancer treatment doesn’t give satisfying result yet because there are still many treatments that cause harmful adverse effects. In Indonesia, cervical cancer is cancer which has the most affected people, about 36% among all cancer type. Approximately, 40.000 new caes are found every year. WHO stated that there are 15.000 cervical cancer case found every year in Indonesia and about 70% of them are hospitalized in late stadium stage. Authors use descriptive and explorative writing methods. Materials of this scientific poster are from medical journals, review journals, books and scientific internet articles. Authors collect both qualitatif and quantitative data. DNA vaccine expressing E6 and E7 is produced using gene encoding PCR technique then it is transformed into plasmid of Escherisia colli. For improving its biovailability and effectivity, we use free needle injector as delivery method. This DNA vaccine has ability in inbiting cancer cell proliferation. Both E6 and E7 vaccine are able to increase antigen specific CD8+ T cell and CD4+ T cell immune response. These antigens also have ability in decreasing tumor size with or without adjuvant. Therefore, combination of these proteins as antigen target of DNA vaccine can optimally play a role as tumor supressor agent in cervical cancer.

CCTV (Cervical Cancer Therapy by rBCG-PTX-B Vaccine Recombinant Expressing Pertussis Toxin-B Oligomer (PTX-B) As Therapeutic Effect Cervical Cancer via immunomodulatory IL-10 TNF-! and Inhibition and Activator Protein-1 Athaya Febriantyo Purnomo, Made Ayu Mutiara Dewi Brawijaya University Abstract: More than 250,000 women died from cervical cancer in 2005, and 80% of cases occur in developing countries. In Indonesia, 52 million Indonesian women at risk of developing cancer is a cause of death in women. Cancer is often called The Silent Lady Killer. Etiology of cervical cancer is HPV (Human Papillomavirus) with virulence factors such as E6 and E7 oncoprotein. E6 and E7 transcription Settings controlled by several cellular proteins that bind to the binding site matching the viral genome LCR. One of the cellular transcription factors who plays an important role in the transcription of E6 and E7 is AP-1 (activator protein-1) complex. Decreased activity of AP-1 transcription will inhibit E6 and E7 thus binding and activation of p53 and pRb does not happen. BCG therapy is claimed to be the most successful immunotherapy of human tumors. BCG therapy has been applied in patients with SBC (superficial bladder cancer). Cytokines are released by BCG stimulation and role in anti-neoplastic associated with Th1 (IL-12, IL-2, TNF-", and IFN-!), while the inhibiting effects associated with Th2 (IL-10). This scientific work was written using descriptive and exploratory methods by collecting qualitative and quantitative data. As cervical cancer therapy, CCTV (Cervical Cancer Therapy by rBCG-PTX-B Vaccine) works through two mechanisms, the immunomodulatory effect of IL-10 and TNF-" and inhibition of Activator Protein-1 as a transcription factor E6 and E7. PTX-B component in the vaccine rBCG-PTX-B can inhibit c-Fos AP-1 complex, inhibits AP-1 binding to the target DNA, and inhibit AP-1 transcription in URR HP. On the other hand, BCG vaccine become the balance of pro and anti-neoplasmic cytokine. BCG components can increase the expression of TNF" via induction of Th1 who is the manufacturer antineoplastic cytokines. On the other hand, BCG inhibits Th2 produce pro-neoplastik cytokines, namely IL-10. So the balance between TNF-" and IL-10 can be formed. To apply the CCTV (Cervical Cancer Therapy by rBCG-PTX-B Vaccine) in the treatment of cervical cancer, the used measure is to make the construction of rBCG vaccine-PTX-B and then the preparation process CCTV (Cervical Cancer Therapy by


rBCG-PTX-B Vaccine) to spray the subsequently administered topical intravaginal. Prescribed dose of 5 x 103 CFU/kgBW dissolved in 0.01 ml of distilled water, and done every day until no longer detected cervical cancer. Literature study above proves that the r-BCG-PTX-B has potential as immunomodulatory therapy for cervical cancer through TNF-" Effect and IL-10 as well as the inhibition of AP-1 transcription factor E6 and E7. Liquid spray preparations of rBCG-PTX-B trade name the author of CCTV which is stands for Cervical Cancer Therapy by rBCG-PTX-B Vaccine.

THE EFFECT OF AMSA’S PHILOSOPHY TOWARDS ATTITUDE AND KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN MAKASSAR ABOUT HIV/AIDS Rabinda Fitriana Tuasikal, Febrianty Elisabeth Pandede, Marini Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, Makassar Abstract: Introduction HIV and AIDS is a matter of concern because the number of cases has increased over years. As medical student, we assume students tend to have knowledge about HIV/AIDS. There are some different attitude towards HIV and people living with HIV. Positive attitudes are far more common among respondents with good knowledge, while poor knowledge is to a greater extent associated with negative attitudes. Material and method The objective of this study was to asses medical student’s knowledge about HIV and their attitude to people with HIV. We want to see how AMSA can affect the attitude of the students in medical faculty and their knowledge comparing with non-members. Through random sampling, students from 3 medical faculty in Makassar were assessed by questionnaires. Respondents were asked about their knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS. Then the data was analyzed and converted to a chart using SPSS 16.0. Result The analysis indicated that AMSA members have high quality of knowledge about sexually transmitted infection or especially HIV/AIDS comparing with non-AMSA members who become respondents that some of them (5%) still have low quality of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The study revealed that most of AMSA member knows the cause, system that affected, onset, symptoms, transmission, complication, risk factor and prevention of HIV. We can also know that knowledge affect student’s attitude towards people with HIV and AIDS. Via its events, AMSA providing better acknowledgement about sexually transmitted infection to its members, that affects AMSA members’ attitude to people live with HIV/AIDS. Conclusion From the study we can know that AMSA members have better knowledge about HIV/AIDS compared to non – member. AMSA members also tend to be more tolerant and have positive attitudes towards people live with HIV/AIDS. # # # # #

Background Sexually transmitted disease is an infection that mostly spread by person-to-person sexual contact. Every single day, more than 1 million people acquire a sexually transmitted disease. Some diseases that acquire are chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. Most of sexually transmitted disease are present without symptoms, and increase risk of HIV infection. As we know, that sexually transmitted disease are spread by person-to-person sexual contact, we must know how to prevent that diseases. Barrier methods is a method that reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases transmission. The example of barrier methods is a male latex condom. To achieve the maximum protection, the condom must be use correctly and consistently. If condoms are not use correctly, the protection would not be maximal, and the spread of sexually transmitted disease still happen. So, what do you think? Don’t you love your partner? If you love your partner, you better use condoms, to prevent sexually transmitted disease. Love your partner by using condom from now. Title: Don’t you love your partner?

Background HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by human papilloma virus. There are many types of HPV that common worldwide, such as HPV type 6, 11, 16, and 18. Cervical cancer is the most impact of HPV infection in women. In the worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women with 530.000 new cases every year, and more than 270.000 women die from cervical cancer. In Indonesia, every single day there are 40 new cases of cervical cancer, and half that died from cervical cancer. Most people just know that HPV infection only affected women, but as we know HPV infection mainly transmitted via sexual contact. So we can see that high case of cervical cancer will be reacting to men. Several studies say that men also can affected by HPV infection via sexual contact with women or men. Some common disease of HPV infection in men are genital warts or condyloma acuminata, anal cancer, penile cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer. So, the prevention not only for women, but men need the prevention too. The prevention that can be for men and women is a vaccination. There are two types of HPV vaccine, such as bivalent and quadrivalent. Bivalent vaccine contains HPV type 16 and 18 to prevent cervical cancer in women. Quadrivalent vaccine contains HPV type 6, 11, 26, and 18 to prevent genital warts or condyloma acuminata, anal cancer, penile cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer in men; and genital warts or condyloma acuminata, cervical cancer, vulva cancer, anal cancer in women. Those of vaccines must give to men and women with a age range 9-26 years old. The following schedule of HPV vaccination are 0, 2 months, and 6 months. So, get the HPV vaccine now, and enjoy the benefits ! Title: Should I Get HPV Vaccination?

AIDS: No More, Save More Franklin Wijaya, Randy, Grace Elizabeth & Theresia I. P. Chesar Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana Contact Name: Grace Elizabeth Claudia, email: gracesaroinsong@gmail.com, Phone: 082125261227 AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) has become one of the most serious world’s health problem. Globally, there are almost 35 millions people currently living with HIV and 10 millions people died caused by AIDS. As we all know, AIDS caused by the virus known as Human Imunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The virus transmitted primarily by unsave sex intercourse, contaminated blood transfusions, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The infection cause progressive destruction of the immune cell which could make the infected people vulnerable and leads to opportunistic infections. HIV infection, however, takes a very long time to develop into AIDS and until now apperently there’s no symptoms of that infections. So, everyone could be infected by HIV without knowing it. Nowadays, HIV/AIDS had a great impact on society. There’s a lot of people who look down, rejecting, or even avoiding people with HIV/AIDS because they all afraid that they could be infected. Actually, they could not be infected just because of making conversation with those infected people. As such, people with HIV sometimes feel depressed, abandoned, and rejected, which lead them to take position to avoid treatment. Against this concern, we need to change peoples’ mind by start loving, helping, and supporting them and hoping they could get their self confidence back. Treat others the way you want to be treated and the world will be a much better place. So, do you want to save more HIV people? It’s all start with you.



Asymptomatic Gonorrhea: Unseen yet Exist Elnissi Leonard, Jefryanto, Jesryn Dhillon, Kezia Joselyn, Reinaldo Putra, Stefina Gunawan Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana Contact name: Elnissi Leonard, E-mail: elnissileonard77@gmail.com , Phone:087877805046 Abstract Gonorrhea is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI). This infection is spread by having unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. It can also be passed on from mother to child during birth or by sharing undergarments that are freshly soiled with infected mucus and urine. According to WHO, gonorrhea is one of the four STIs that is obtained by an estimated of 500 million people each year. There are 309.341 cases in 2010 worldwide. In men, the first symptoms usually appear 2-5 days after intercourse in the form of yellow or clear penis discharge along with severe irritation. In women, the only immediate indication may be irritation and a change in vaginal discharge. In generals, gonorrhea is more serious in females than in males because in about 10% of the cases, the infection spreads to the uterus and along the fallopian tube, causing inflammation and damage that could lead to infertility. Moreover, the possibility of infection passed by male to female is greater than from female to male. Unfortunately, the infection shows next to no symptoms in up to 80% of women. This asymptomatic condition could lead to lack of awareness of one’s condition and consequently lead to late diagnosis which could cause even more damage. It is important to raise awareness of gonorrhea and get yourself examined in order to have proper medication and avoid further complication.

“ Do I Deserve This? “ Hansens Yansah, Nathania Sutandi, Euginia Christa University of Indonesia According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year around 390 thousand children in underdeveloped and developing countries are infected with HIV/AIDS. In Indonesia, the number of the cases of HIV/AIDS in children has developed to 8 % of the total cases. Most HIV infections in children are transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, labor and delivery, or breastfeeding. HIV develops rapidly among infants and children, and without treatment, a third of all infected children will die of AIDS prior to their first birthday. In many settings worldwide, especially Indonesia, the biggest obstacle for children living with HIV at all ages is the fact that they often experience significant levels of negative stigma and discrimination, including being excluded from school, families, and communities, as people are worried that they might as well acquire HIV. Isolation and discrimination towards children with HIV/AIDS will cause extensive detrimental effects towards the children’s mental development. As a result, children with HIV/AIDS are not taken care of and onset of depression and mental instability might occur. These children have a higher tendency towards self-isolation. Giving education on how HIV is transmitted from person to person can improve knowledge, and thus, prevent or at least alleviate discrimination towards children with HIV/AIDS. Based on these facts, we have created this poster with the hopes of abolishing the social stigma given towards children with HIV/AIDS, so that those children can receive social equality in society and receive proper health care, education, fair treatments, and better interaction with their environment. We believe that by giving children with HIV/AIDS equal opportunities as normal children, these children could have a better future.

HIV Might Be Curable If Detected Early Currently, Sexually Transmitted Infections or best known as STI has been quite the concern especially in the medical world. One of the STI that is most discussed is AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which is caused by the HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus that attacks the human’s immune system especially the white blood cells. It is detectable only with the specific HIV test. The main problem of the virus is because it replicates rapidly making it almost impossible to eliminate. If not diagnosed and treated quickly, the progress will increase overtime the patient’s lifespan usually are short. In reality most of the patient didn't realize until years, which is until the virus replicate and attack the immune system. This is when the symptoms will start occuring. The Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) is most effective if initiated before symptoms develop and will reduce the risk of developing opportunistic infections, HIV related cancers, and AIDS. A functional cure for HIV is still under research, but current researches have found facts that if the people with HIV are treated within 10 weeks of infection, an effective cure to this is achievable. This means that the virus is kept at bay so that it can be handled with the most accurate treatment. HIV should be treated as a chronic disease that is managed over a person’s lifetime. Thus, using this poster we are hoping to raise the awareness of the public about early detection of HIV. If people are more concerned about screening of HIV, they would have known if they ever get infected and an early diagnosis may decrease the number of morbidity to this disease.

Fight the Disease Not The People Franklin Wijaya, Randy, Grace Saroinsong, and Theresia Chesar Contact name: Franklin Wijaya, Email: franklin.wijaya@gmail.com , Phone: 089630803965 Abstract: In Indonesia people with AIDS had increased significantly from 2005 to 2013, which is 2,572 to 6,266 people infected with AIDS from 2005- 2013 with the peak at 2012 (8,747) people. The age group for AIDS infected mostly from young adults (age 15-29). This shows us that we have to do something to decrease the prevalence of AIDS in Indonesia, and the efforts we have to do consist of 3 things. The first is we have to aware about this disease; how we can get an AIDS and the symptoms of this disease. After that we must learn how to prevent ourselves from getting infected, in order to know the prevention people need to be more proactive to obtain information about the prevention. The last efforts is support, this means we need to support organizations that concern about healthcare, but not just that, we need to be concern of people around us, if there’s someone already have AIDS embrace them, don’t alienate them, help them out, they might not ask for your help because they might be ashamed of themselves, therefore we need to help them out. By helping them you might know more about AIDS, and you might ease their suffering. These 3 efforts are the basic things that people tend to forget of how it might effect on society, and think of it as a bothersome things.



Azlina Darsaniya Wandawa Fadia Mutiaratu Fadhilah Aliyah Fadhilannisa Rinanda AMSA Trisakti University Protect Our Youth by Stamp Out Syphilis Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete bacterium, Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is often called as “The Great Imitator”, due to the fact that the clinical signs and symptoms are often indistinguishable from other diseases. From CDC data and statistics, syphilis rates among women aged 15–19 years increased annually from 2004–2009 from 1.5 cases per 100,000 females to 3.3 cases in 2009. In 2012, 1.9% of all cases reported to CDC were among Asians. The 2012 rate of primary & secondary syphilis for Asians was 2.0 cases per 100,000 population, which was 0.7 times the rate for whites. To reduce syphilis, we should know how to prevent and what are the risk factors of syphilis. To prevent getting syphilis, we must avoid contact with infected tissue and body fluids of an infected person. However, syphilis is usually transmitted by people who have no sores that can be seen or rashes and who do not know they are infected. If we aren't infected with syphilis and are sexually active, having mutually monogamous sex with a partner who has been tested and has negative STD test results is the best way to prevent syphilis. Using latex condoms the right way every time you have sex reduces our risk of getting syphilis. Condoms prevent transmission of syphilis by preventing contact with a sore, but only if the condom covers the syphilis sores. Avoid recreational drugs. Excessive use of alcohol or other drugs can cloud our judgment and lead to unsafe sexual practices. Have an honest and open talk with our health care provider and ask whether we should be tested for syphilis or other STDs. We should get tested regularly for syphilis if we are pregnant, are a man who has sex with men, have HIV infection, and/or have partner who have tested positive for syphilis.

Sexually Transmitted Infection Infectious diseases with high mortality, disability and creating public anxiety are not new, but despite this our initial responses to HIV/AIDS have been primitive and slow. Since the start of the epidemic over 60 million people throughout the world have been infected, with the main focus of the epidemic currently in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is every indication that the epidemic will move more towards South-East Asia, with increasing numbers in India and China. Infection with HIV has a profound effect on individuals and their families, and can also lead to destabilisation of societies through its effects on the economy, institutions and security. Considerable emphasis has been placed recently on the widespread use of anti-retroviral therapy. This is a worthwhile initiative but is only part of a balanced array of approaches, which requires building a political consensus, social economic interventions and modifying the biology. Strong political leadership is still required, with an approach that recognises that the socioeconomic drivers of this epidemic. Key Words AIDS/HIV, instability of security services



ABSTRACT Maternal infections caused by TORCH [Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), are the major causes of bad obstetric history(BOH). Bad obstetric history (BOH) implies previous unfavorable fetal outcome in terms of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortion, history of intrauterine fetal death, intrauterine growth retardation, still births, early neonatal death and/or congenital anomalies. The prevalence of toxoplasmosis in BOH is known to be significantly higher than those without it. A recent study from Chandigarh reports rising seropositivity to toxoplasma in women with BOH. Sero-epidemiological studies have shown that 10-20 percent of women in childbearing age in India are susceptible to rubella infection. Infection with Rubella during pregnancy may lead to congenital malformation in 10-54 percent of cases. Maternal CMV is the commonest viral infection in perinatal period and is the leading cause of congenital CMV infection. The incidence of congenital CMV ranges from 0.53.0% in all live births. Primary HSV infection during first half of pregnancy is associated with increased frequency of spontaneous abortion, still birth, and congenital malformation.

Know the Risk, Understand the Disease Theresia Chesar, Grace Saroinsong, Franklin Wijaya, and Randy Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana Contact name: Theresia I.P. Chesar, Email: xmastree2512@gmail.com Phone: 087871385993 AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which is the final stage of HIV infection. People with HIV did not have any symptoms so they could look very healthy at the beginning of stage. When they reached the final stage of AIDS, they will have a badly damaged immune system. HIV virus could transmitted by sexual contact, drug use, injection, pregnancy, child birth, breast feeding, and rarely blood transfusion. AIDS put them at risk for opportunistic infection. You can get AIDS if you have one or more opportunity infections, or certain cancers. Nowadays in Indonesia, there are 170.000 – 210.000 from 220 million population have AIDS in their body, and 5.500 peoples dead because of this disease. But unfortunately, no much people who aware and understand about AIDS. Lots of them just knowing about AIDS without really understand what AIDS is about. That is one of the reasons why AIDS still a big world’s health problem. If you have AIDS, you will need medical intervention and treatment to prevent death, antiviral therapy for example. It will keep the level of HIV in your body low if you consume it consistently.



Open Your Eyes, HIV Around You Name

:-Mutiara Lirendra/ Mutiara.Lirendra@yahoo.com /+6289640022383 -Rio Alexsandro/ Alexsandrorio@yahoo.com / +628988589995 University:Faculty Medicine of Tarumanagara University, Indonesia HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a strain of virus that targets the human immune system. HIV is a global threat since it’s discovery back in 1981 and the number of cases keep rising each year. More than 34 millions of world population are diagnosed with HIV and approximately 12% of the cases are in South East Asia region. Every year the number of cases increased up to 16% in Indonesia. Approximately 67% cases of HIV were transmitted through sexual intercourse in the free sex culture. Unlike any other sexual transmitted disease, subject with HIV doesn’t show any specific sign and symptom. Research shows that most HIVcases shows sign and symptoms after 10 years of infection, which leave a long time period of transmission without warning. This poster was dedicated to educate the community that HIV is a silent threat, a small tip of a giant iceberg. A subject with HIV looks like and act like the rest of the member of community and even the professionals in medical community can’t tell the diferences without a series of testing procedure. Also this poster was dedicated to raise the awareness of using protection in sexual intercourse both in free sex or monogamy relationship. This poster was made in Photoshop. It’s a short , simple and sends a clear message through 3 elements in the poster which is an image of a subject with HIV that looks healthy , a sentence to raise the awareness of HIV in society and information of HIV transmission by WHO.



PROTECT THE FUTURE Andy William University of Indonesia Out of the various infectious diseases, sexually transmitted infections (STI) rank the most common. STI include curable diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydial infection, syphilis, chancroid, trichomoniasis, to disease such as AIDS in which there is yet no known cure. Most of these disease however, can be prevented. Despite being preventable diseases, the prevalenceof STI worldwide is still increasing, especially in developing countries. The consequences are debilitating, because these diseases severely affect the quality of life. Being infectious diseases however, means that these diseases can be transmitted to other people, especially their partners. Furthermore, STI such as AIDS can be transmitted from mother to their children. Therefore, one person contracting STI can affect other people and the future, their children. This poster aims to raise the awareness that STI can affect the next generation. Various pictures of children are also chosen for these reasons. In addition, there is a QR code in the poster, which will lead to an informational website about STI. We hope that by raising awareness and knowledge about STI, people will be more responsible ot only for themselves, but also fot their future.

SAVE YOURSELF. PROTECT YOUR CHILD. Tifani Sutrisno AMSA-UKI In 2007, it is estimated that 420,000 children were infected with HIV and 330,000 died of an AIDS-related illness. Eventhough coverage of key interventions of HIV has been applied, the Child Mortality Rate (CMR) is still on half way towards the MDGs 4 in 2015. Actually there’re so many factors affect the CMR, but the most leading factor is the maternal health during pregnancy. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It’s one of the sexually transmitted infection. It attacks and destroys the cells of immune system. Without treatment, HIV can advances to AIDS which can cause death. HIV can be transmitted vertically from mother to child. The largest transmission is during pregnancy. Until now, there’s no effective cure for HIV, only HIV medicine to keep healthy life and reduce the risk of transmission from mother to child. But, there’s still chance for the virus to be transmitted especially when the maternal health is decreasing. To prevent the risk of transmission, use condoms correctly and consistently during sex, limit your number of sexual partners, and never share drug injection equipment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends HIV testing for everyone 13 to 64 years old at least once as part of routine medical care. There are no stronger proofs to ensure that you’re HIV positive except get the HIV test. If it’s positive, consult with your health care professionals to get the appropriate treatment. Finally, the most effective prevention is to keep yourself from unsafe sexual behavior. If you realize about this, you won’t just save yourself, but also protect your child from deadly HIV infection.



Be Aware of White Stains Liliani Labitta, Wiseley Hong Tarumanagara University Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. They are also an important marker of a person's high-risk sexual behavior. All STDs occurring in adults can be transmitted to children although the pattern of transmission may vary. Children can acquire STDs either during intrauterine or perinatal period, by sexual abuse, or by voluntary sexual contact. Between 2 and 10 years of age, sexual abuse is the first possible way of transmission. Child Sex Abuse (CSA) is a hidden pediatric problem and is also becoming one of the important factors for acquiring STDs including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This is why experts still consider STDs to be a ‘hidden epidemic’ and it’s about time parents should think STDs as a pediatric problem. Leucorrhea/white vaginal discharge is one of the most common symptoms found in patients with genital STDs. In a study by Robinson, all girls with Nesseria gonorrhoea and Trichomonas vaginalis experience vaginal discharge. It also occurs in two third of them who suffer from Chlamydia trachomatis. It is stated that vaginal discharge is one of the common signs in children with STDs. This poster is made with the aim to increase parents’ awareness of STDs in children. Parents should at least know the primary sign of STDs in children to be able to handle such situation as soon as possible both physically and psychologically.

HIV/ AIDS Sri Sari Ariyanti_Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani HIV/AIDS has always been one of the most thoroughly global of diseases. In the era of widely available anti- retroviral therapy (ART), it is also commonly recognised as a chronic disease that can be successfully managed on a long-term basis. HIV/AIDS pandemic and highlights some of the changes we might expect to see at the global level as HIV is increasingly normalised as "just another chronic disease". The AIDS epidemic has been accompanied by intensely negative public reactions to persons presumed to be infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The identification of AIDS as a deadly disease and the association of AIDS, especially gay men. AIDS educational programs can be effective only to the extent that they are perceived as credible by their target audiences. Individuals high in distrust did not differ from those low in distrust in their exposure to AIDS information. Higher levels of AIDS-related distrust were not related to self-reported personal risk reduction, but were related to inaccurate beliefs about HIV transmission through casual contact and greater willingness to avoid and stigmatize people with AIDS. The importance of overcoming distrust in AIDS education programs is discussed.

HIV and AIDS among Adolescent Name of University : Padjadjaran University Author : 1. Annisa Rachmayanti, rachmayantiann@gmail.com, 081290399148 2. Niken Amalia Gandini, nikenamaliag@gmail.com , 087708777095 A. Background Adolescent reproductive health issues are now very worried. The data shows adolescent reproductive health problems are 15 million teens age 15-19 give birth/year, 4 million teens have abortions/year, 100 million adolescents are infected by sexually transmitted disease/year, and 7000 adolescent infected with HIV/day (UNAIDS, 1998). The high risk of adolescent reproductive health, one cause is the level of knowledge adolescents is still low. This will affect attitude and behavior of adolescents to reproductive health of themselves. B. Material and methods Data collection methods in this abstract are through internet and journals. C. Results AIDS caused by one of the group of viruses (retroviruses). A HIV-AIDS patient’s immunity system will decrease. The AIDS virus attacks the T-lymphocytes. Modes of transmission are through sexual contact, sharing needles, blood transfusion, even in pregnant women who transmitted to the baby. D. Discussion The prevention of HIV is more focused on educating society. People can change their living habits so they will not easily affected by HIV. And the efforts that can be done to avoid HIV / AIDS is as follows: 1. Healthy Sexual Behavior 2. Using sterile needles 3. Avoiding from all Forms of Drug Use 4. Be careful with Blood Transfusion 5. Woman with HIV to not get pregnant E. Conclusion HIV/AIDS is a disease that until now there is no cure and deadly, as well as interfere with physical health, HIV/AIDS also disrupt the stability of the psychic and social life of the patient, so we need a comprehensive treatment. The government's role is huge against HIV/AIDS because the government is in control of the stability in the community, and has the power through policy is made as an effort to achieve a healthy social order and dynamic.



Gonorrhea: It’s your choice! Name Email Phone number University

Gonorrhea is an infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae that infect the mucus membrane surface. It is the second most common notifiable disease in US. Every year, there are 700.000 new cases and it cost more that a billion dollar in US to manage gonorrhea and its complications, which makes it important to us, as a medical student to arise the awareness of people all over the world about it. It is transmitted by sexual contact and perinatal transmission from mother to the child at birth. The prevalence is highest for the people aged 15 to 24, or we cay say teenager and young adult. Most of them maybe think that as long as they don’t do vaginal intercourse, there is no risk to get gonorrhea. It is our duty to ensure that people around us knows what happened to their body if they got gonorrhea. And yes, They should know what to do to prevent and to manage gonorrhea. Although there is a way to manage the infection, it is better for us to prevent of having gonorrhea from the first time. Protected sex is one of the way, but it is better to do not having sex before we get married. It is important for you to have sex with your only partner, to reduce the risk of getting the infection. So, once again, isn’t it better to prevent it instead? It’s your choice!



Fight Stigma, Fight AIDS Shofura Afifah, Raissa Metasari T. Universitas Padjadjaran

Ban Ki Moon once said: “Stigma remains the single most important barrier to public action. It is a main reason why too many people are afraid to see a doctor to determine whether they have the disease, or to seek treatment if so. It helps make AIDS the silent killer; stigma is the chief reason why the AIDS epidemic continues to devastate societies aroundthe world.” The high level of stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS arises from fear of contagion and negative assumptions. HIV is a life-threatening disease, therefore people react to it in a strong way. Stigma might lead to drastic consequences, such as loss of occupation, loss of marriage and interpersonal relationships, poor health and social care, loss of hope, reputation, and social standing. Discriminatin goes hand in hand with denial; people continue to deny that HIV exists in their community. Astounding, as at the end of 2011, 34 million people are diagnosed HIVpositive and 1,7 million have died of AIDS-related illness. Therefore it is fundamental to fight both ignorance and discrimination. Schools should teach about the true facts of HIV, leaders should push for fair policies and laws. The rights of people living with HIV can be fought institutionally, but what about the layman people? How do these people support people living with HIV? Their support begins with openness, tolerance, respect, and understanding. People should want to be educated about AIDS with open eyes, to understand and eliminate discrimination. This poster might be able to raise people’s awareness and incite their curiosity to look for more information.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). HPV is a different virus than HIV and HSV (herpes). HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives. There are many different types of HPV. Some types can cause health problems including genital warts and cancers. But thete are vaccines that can stop these healt problems from happening. You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone with only one person. You can also develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone is infected making it hard to know when you first became infected. HPV can cause cervical and other cancers including cancer the vulva, vagina, penis, or anus. It can also cause cancer in the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils (called oropharyngeal cancer). Cancer often take years, even decades, to develop after a person get HPV. The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types of HPV that can cause cancers. There is no way to know which people who have HPV will develop cancer or other health problems. People with weak immune systems (including individuals with HIV/AIDS) may be less able to fight off HPV and more likely to develop health problems from it. How to avoid? 1. Get vaccinated HPV vaccines are safe and effective. They can protect males and females against diseases (including cancers) caused by HPV when given in the recommended age groups. HPV vaccines are given in three shots over six months, it is important to get all three doses. 2. Get screened for cervical cancer. Routine screening for women aged 21 to 65 years old can prevent cervical cancer. 3. Reduce risky behavior such as multiple partner sex, using contamined needle etc.



HIV Self-testing can laypersons in high-prevalence South Africa perform a blood-based HIV self-test accurately? Bunga Vandia (081210006284; bungavanadia@gmail.com), Gabriela Grace Faculty of Medicine, Padjadjaran University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT Background: HIV self-testing is receiving increased attention globally, with the recognition that new, cost-effective strategies are needed to achieve universal HIV testing. Scale-up of providerinitiated HIV counseling and testing has successfully raised testing rates, but in South Africa – the country with the highest HIV incidence in the world – only 50% of people know their HIV status. 2 Access to self-testing may address this issue in South Africa and other high HIV-burden, hard-to-reach populations. HIV Self-test Kit Development: A self-testing “kit” was specially designed for this study during preliminary research with the target population. Phase I: Focus groups (n=34) Feedback collected from community focus groups was used to design an initial kit prototype. Phase II: Evaluation and selection of testing components. Commercially available testing components, including rapid bloodbased tests, lancets, and blood transfer devices were evaluated for performance and ease-of-use in a self-testing scenario. Phase III: Mock self-testing (n=304) Modifications were made to the kit based on observations of simulated self-testing by 300+ volunteers. Modifications included changes to packaging, written instructions and illustrations, and chosen testing components. Material & Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 233 participants from three representative communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Participants tested themselves for HIV using a self-test kit which included commercially available rapid test components and illustrated instructions designed specifically for self-testing, supported by a telephone helpline. To assess accuracy of self-test results, two confirmatory tests were performed for comparison: HCT performed by trained staff, and laboratory ELISA. To identify specific challenges participants encountered in either test procedure or with testing components, all sessions were videotaped. To verify accuracy of self-test result interpretation, the participant-reported result was compared to an independent read of the self-test cassette by trained study staff. Self-test kit testing components: Blood-based rapid HIV test, 1: iCARE OneStep HIV 1&2, Alcohol swab, 1, Lancet (needle), 1: BD contact-activated lancet, Pipette (blood transfer device), 1: Zhejiang Sorfa Medical plastic pipette or dual-chamber, Developer solution bottle, 1 Illustrated instructions Self-testing helpline: trained HIV counselors accessible for testing assistance and/or counseling by study-provided cell phone Results: 99.1% OBTAINED A VALID SELF-TEST RESULT 231 of 233 participants obtained a valid self-test result 230. (98.7%) of 233 participant-reported self-test results were concordant with the study staff’s interpretation of corresponding self-test results. Of those that were not concordant, 1 of 44 positive results was interpreted by the participant as negative, 1 of 2 invalid results was interpreted by the participant as negative, and 1 of 187 negative results was interpreted by the participant as “unsure of result”. 97.4% SENSITIVITY / 100% SPECIFICITY (95%CI: 87.93% to 99.62%) (95%CI: 98.04 to 100%) 97.8% UNDERSTOOD NEXT STEP OF CARE. As described in self-testing instructions. Next step of care for HIV negative result: Test again in three months, Next step of care for HIV positive result: test again in 3 months, next step of care for HIV positive result: go to a clinic for confirmation test and CD4 count.


Conclusion: HIV self-testing (HST) with a blood-based rapid test is highly accurate when performed by laypersons in representative high-burden, limited-education settings in KZN, South Africa, when packaged with illustrated instructions, accompanied by a telephone helpline. Laypersons with minimal education are able to accurately interpret results and understand the next step of care based on self-test result – HIV negative: Test again in three months, HIV positive: Go to a clinic for confirmation test and CD4 count. Blood-based rapid tests provide earlier detection of infection, higher sensitivity 3,4 and are a costeffective alternative to oral fluid tests, thus may be ideal for scale-up of HST in resource-limited settings. Customizing testing components for selftesting may improve both safety and ease of use.



Silent Killer Fatimah Amalia, Ismiana Fatimah Modjaningrat (miamodjaningrat@gmail.com , 08179838194) Faculty of Medicine, University of Padjadjaran, Indonesia

ABSTRACT Background : Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract. Most sexually active women and men will be infected at some point in their lives and some may be repeatedly infected. The peak time for acquiring infection for both women and men is shortly after becoming sexually active. There are more than 100 types of HPV, of which at least 13 are cancer-causing (also known as high risk type). HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual activity. HPV is sexually transmitted, but penetrative sex is not required for transmission. Skin-to-skin genital contact is a well-recognized mode of transmission. There are many types of HPV, and many do not cause problems. HPV infections usually clear up without any intervention within a few months after acquisition, and about 90% clear within two years. A small proportion of infections with certain types of HPV can persist and progress to cancer. Cervical cancer is by far the most common HPV-related disease. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer can be attributable to HPV infection. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, with an estimated 530 000 new cases every year. Every year, more than 270 000 women die from cervical cancer; more than 85% of these deaths are in low- and middle-income countries. Vaccines against HPV 16 and 18 have been approved for use in many countries. The majority of HPV infections do not cause symptoms or disease and resolve spontaneously. However, persistent infection with specific types of HPV (most frequently types 16 and 18) may lead to precancerous lesions. If untreated, these lesions may progress to cervical cancer, but this progression usually takes many years. Although most HPV infections clear up on their own and most pre-cancerous lesions resolve spontaneously, there is a risk for all women that HPV infection may become chronic and pre-cancerous lesions progress to invasive cervical cancer. It takes 15 to 20 years for cervical cancer to develop in women with normal immune systems. It can take only 5 to 10 years in women with weakened immune systems, such as those with untreated HIV infection.



Syphilis Jasmine Maulinda Utami, Uray Nabila Yuna Faculty of Medicine, Padjajaran University, Indonesia

One of sexual transmitted disease that occurs the most is Syphilis. Syphilis is bacterial infection that usually spread by sexual contacts, man to man or woman to woman or man to woman by skin/mucous membrane or close contacts with lesions and also can be passed from an infected mother to her unborn child. The most common route of transmission is through contact with an infected person’s sore during sexual activity. Less commonly, syphlis may spread through direct unprotected close contact with an active lesions such as during kissing. But it can’t spread by using the same toilet, bathtub, clothing or eating utensils or from doorknobs, swimming pools or hot tubs. The etiology of Syphilis is bacterium named Treponema Pallidum. The bacteria enters your body through minor cuts or abrasions in your skin or mucous membran. Syphilis is contagious during its primary and secondary stage, and sometimes in early latent period. When it happened, it starts as a painless sore, in genitals, rectum or mouth. But Syphilis is a curable STD, if it left untreated can eventually lead to irreversible damage to heart and nervous system. An estimated 12.22 millions cases of Syphilis occured worldwide in 1999, slightly below the 1995 estimate. Syphilis rates in the United States have been declining among women since 2010, but rising among men, particularly men who have sex with men. The risk factors of acquiring Syphilis if you: M Engage in unprotected sex M Have sex with multiple partners M A man who have sex with men M Infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The symptomps of Syphilis are varies, and are depends on the stage of Syphilis: Primary Syphilis: M Small sore (painless) Secondary Syphilis: M Rash in trunk and entire body (itchy and accompanied by wart-like sore in mouth or genitals area) M Muscles aches M Fever M Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes Latent Syphilis: M If untreated the stage moves from secondary to latent with no symptomps appears. Tertiary (Late) Syphilis: M Damages to brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones and joints. Congenital Syphilis: M If born from infected mother and infected through the placenta during birth. Have no symptomps, but sometimes experience a rash on the palms or their hands and soles on their feet. M Later symptomps: deafness, teeth deformities and saddle nose. When the patient is diagnose in early stage, it is easy to cure. The preferred treatment at all stage is penicillin, an antibiotic medication. If you are allergic to penicillin, the doctor may suggest another antibiotic. After you are treated for Syphilis, the doctor may ask you to have periodic


blood test to make sure you are corresponding to the usual dosage of penicillin, to avoid sexual contact until the treatment is completed, and blood indicates it has been cured, and notify your sex partners so that they can be tested and get treatment if necessary, and the last be tested for HIV Infection. To help prevent the spread of Syphilis, follow the suggestions: M Abstain or monogamous M Use a latex condom M Avoid recreational drugs.



HIV Prevention : Marriage as The Best Antivirus Ever Afnandito Valeno Risky Sukarelawanto, Amanda Dania Satiti Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada, Indonesia

Abstract Lately, HIV has been Yogyakarta’s concern because there is an increase of HIV cases occurred throughout Special District of Yogyakarta. Previously, the transmission of HIV was spread through syringe and drugs. But after 2008, the transmission was dominated by sexual intercourse, resulting in the explosion of the people that got infected by HIV, one year later. There are also a lot of attempt to decrease HIV cases by increasing people awareness of HIV transmission. We believe that through selective and careful methods, such as no sexual intercourse before marriage and be faithful to your husband or wife, will effectively decrease HIV cases in Yogyakarta. It is our duty as medical students to increasing people’s awareness on HIV transmission by sexual intercourse. Because there has been many cases where children born with HIV just because their parents also got infected by HIV, and then they would live in discrimination. All of that will sum up the reasons for us to fight HIV together. Afnandito Valena RS afnanditov@gmail.com 082349620114 Amanda Dania Satiti amanda.danias@gmail.com 085729679808



Think Thing Andreas Yohan H. ; Jo, Jonathan Jose Johan ; Kevin Andersen Medical Faculty of Diponegoro University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are major public-health problems and also a significant financial problem. The number of incidence rate is gradually increasing because of the lack of education among the society. Past and ongoing attempts to create vaccines against sexually transmitted pathogens have met with varying success. The disease mostly infect adolescence between 14 to 29 years old. The purpose of making this poster is to raise awareness among the society in developing countries. The poster contains a picture of a double sided woman, divided into the beautiful side and the infected side. It tries to tell us that STDs could disguise itself as a beautiful woman and it can infect its host at any moment. People tend to only see what is in the outside. They do not know that woman like that is loaded with infectious bacteria. For the infected side, we tried to make the picture using negative features and colors to make a terrifying impression among the people. While for the beautiful side, we try to use a beautiful and a rather “naughty” woman to give a portrait of a prostitute, carrying those infectious diseases. This poster acts as an indirect education for the people,. By seeing this poster, we hope that people would realize the significance of STDs and would try to prevent them. And by doing that, hopefully the incidence rate of STDs would decrease and we could form a healthy lifestyle among the people. We realize that education, in this case, a poster can only improve people’s knowledge and raise their awareness, but it does not always turn into behaviour change. Therefore, followups and further guidance for the community are necessary to form a real behavioural change among the society.

What is Your Status? Fajar Muhammad, Novandika Kurnia Akbar, Desty Annisa Hapsari Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia

According to WHO (World Health Organization), sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are spread primarily through person-to-person sexual contact. STIs are caused by more than 30 different bacteria, viruses, and parasites. More than 1 million people acquire a sexually transmitted infection (STI) every day. A person can have an STI without having obvious symptoms of disease. There are many types of STIs, including Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Genital herpes, HIV/AIDS, HPV, and Syphilis. When someone has an STI caused by bacteria or parasites, the health care provider can treat it with antibiotics and other medicines. When the cause of STI is a virus, the diseases become hard to be cured. Sometimes the drugs that are given is just to slow down the development of malignancies of that diseases. Many ways that can be done to prevent transmission of STI, particularly HIV/AIDS, one of them is by knowing the status of your HIV infection. It will be very possible if STI spread from the people who look perfectly healthy–people who aren’t even aware of being infected. Many of STI, predominantly HIV/AIDS’s patient who doesn’t show any symptoms become perfectly unaware of the risk that theirs carry on. So, if they don’t do any test to know their HIV/ADS’s status, they will carry bigger risk to get or spread the infection to other people in their environment. According to CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), it is recommended to take HIV test for people in the age of 13 to 64 years old at least once as part of routine medical care. CDC also recommends that people at high risk of HIV infection get tested at least once a year. Some of the test can be operated if you want to know your HIV/AIDS’s status, there are antibody tests, antigen tests, and PCR test (polymerase chain reaction test). Some of the test now has been developed to make it easier for people to do the test, one of them is home testing kits (HIV antibody tests you can take in the privacy of your own home). The Home Access HIV-1 Test System is approved by the FDA for this purpose. Although this is not a true HIV testing kit, but this shows us actually there are a lot of ease for us if we want to know our status, especially our HIV/AIDS’s status. So, through this poster, we encourage you to know your ‘status’ before it’s too late!

HIV Doesn’t Transmit Under Our Watch Annas Zulfakhri Abidin, Dini Mutia Khairunnisa Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia

Background Looking at the world these days is not sophisticatedly interesting anymore. We witness the same things every day, unlike the past when people easily get excited with something, and they have something to do for that thing. One of the foremost problems, is the Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS. Yes, wide crowds do recognize it, but one thing we may not notice is how we deal with it. This poster represents the thought of a simple perspective, consequently having a look yet still trying to notice the real deal. This poster tells the crowd of the efforts that humans are making on dealing with the AIDS’s predecessor, Human Immuno-deficiency Virus or HIV. As basic knowledge, it is known that this AIDS serves as an ‘effect’ of what HIV does to the body. Therefore, the main point in dealing with AIDS lays with the prevention of HIV transmittance. People must know what to do here. But what’s gravity defying is that of a habit of ignorance, and sometimes even discrimination. They need to know that all parts of the society carry the role in prevention of HIV transmittance. Overseeing those problems, wide people should discard the old mindset in order to achieve a brand new level of understanding and comprehension. We all need to know how to really deal, to abolish all negative perspectives which may arise, such as discrimination among those who’s infected, knowing that those people are having their lives on the line. Nonetheless, we all can take a first step to start these means, by exposing our efforts of stopping HIV and curing AIDS. But ignorance is the only enemy we’re facing now. Because ignoring means not doing anything, anything at all for our own mankind, possibly even our descendants. Objective (Contact details of Directors and Authors) 1.

Avoiding Free Sex is The Best Protection Yusuf Azmi, Julius Albert Sugianto, and Ahmadin Yusuf Rizal Susatyo Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University - Surabaya, INDONESIA

Abstract Alongside the increase of Metropolitan lifestyle in Indonesia, so is free sex. A survey in 2007 stated that 45% of teenagers in big cities around Indonesia admitted doing premarital sex. The consequence of this trending behavior itself is evident. Researches have suggested an increase in HIV/AIDS, HPV, and Syphilis prevalence among Indonesians and this problem needs to be tackled soon. In the terms of changing people’s behavior, there are mainly two ways of tackling this STD problem:promote the use of condom or prevail upon people to avoid free sex. Promoting the use of condom seemed reasonable but it actually is not. We tend to believe that condoms will inhibit all kinds of STD but condoms are not capable in impeding all kinds of STD. Condoms does well in preventing sexual diseases transmitted by secretion and/or urethra exposures but not so well in prohibiting the transmission of sexual diseases via skin-toskin contact (e.g. herpes, syphilis, and HPV). A study by Winer RL (2006) showed that the use of condom mitigates only 62% of HPV infection risk. Therefore, doing a safe sex (i.e. sex using condom) does lower the risk of STD transmission but it is not very effective in mitigating all the risk. On the other hand, avoiding free sex would guarantee to save us from all means of STD transmission because there is no sexual activity with strangers. On that account, in this poster we suggest that avoiding free sex is the best protection against all sorts of STD. Avoid Free Sex, Avoid STD.

Be Gloved, Be Safe Arhyatus Sa’adiyah , Anindya Paramitha , Maulida Sabila Faculty of Medicine, University of Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia

Background: There are many infectious diseases that can be transmitted through intimate contact, such as HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia, Genital Herpes and Syphilis. Those diseases are called sexual transmitted infections. Sometimes people don’t even know that they had been infected and spread the virus/bacteria while they are having sex with another person. Thus, having many partners will only worsen the situation. Some of those infectious diseases can leave permanent damage in our body, like infertility and immune system damage. That's why prevention is much easier than treat the diseases. By using this poster we aim to persuade people to be more cautious about sexually transmitted infections and proclaim safe sex. We put some flowers in the poster that resemble condoms. And there is a message about use them as protection against sexually transmitted infections. Use the glove and stay safe.

Background : We choose the Sexually Transmitted Infections theme for our poster, because we do concern about this issue. Sexual Transmitted Infection is a major health problem in the most community all around the world, including Indonesia. Sexual Transmitted Infections are easily spread out in the community, because of the people, especially Indonesian, low knowledge and awareness. They don’t know that Sexual Transmitted Infections can lead them to a serious health problem, like infertility or even death. Many people think that having sex without protection is not a big deal. They believe that protection like condom is not important and just make their love activity less pleasurable. Many people also think that having sex with many different partners won’t put them in danger, some of them even think that is cool. Thus, we put some messages on the poster about being faithful and using condom as protection against sexually transmitted infections. We put a wedding ring on the girl finger as a symbol of faithfulness and she bring an umbrella that resemble a condom. We also highlight the skirt as to show the part that need to be protected. It’s better to protect than to treat them right? Contact details : Arhyatus Sa’adiyah Email : arhyatus@gmail.com Mobile : +6285755284280

Control the Virus by Using Antiretroviral Drugs Sylvia Winnie Melinda, Nur Afiati Nadya, Ellen Natalia Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT: Human immunodeficiency virus. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, putting people infected with HIV at risk for life-threatening infections and cancer. During HIV infection, the virus attacks and destroys the infection-fighting CD4 cells of the body’s immune system. Loss of CD4 cells makes it difficult for the immune system to fight infections. (U.S. Department of Health, 2012) Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the recommended treatment for HIV infection. Standard antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combination of at least three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to maximally suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease. ART prevents HIV from multiplying and destroying infection-fighting CD4 cells. This helps the body fight off life-threatening infections and cancer. It can help people infected with HIV live longer, healthier lives. (WHO, 2013) This poster remained you that the effort to treatment for HIV infection with Standard Antiretroviral therapy (ART). There is so many thing they can do if they control the virus by using anti-retroviral drugs. It can make people infected with HIV live longer, do many thing, and have healthier lives.

Don’t Judge a Girl By Its Cover Ahmadin Yusuf Rizal Susatyo, Julius Albert Sugianto, and Yusuf Azmi Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University - Surabaya, INDONESIA

Abstract Apace with the modernization in Indonesia and increased availability of contraception, free sex and STDs have emerged to be an important issue to tackle. A survey in 2007 stated that 45% teenagers in big cities around Indonesia admitted doing premarital sex. This fact demonstrated the shift in people’s perception about free sex. People start to think that free sex is okay to be done as long as it is with a seemingly healthy individual but studies reveals that there is an increase in HIV/AIDS, HPV, and Syphillis prevalence among Indonesian and this problem needs to be tackled. In this poster we would like to thwart this growing belief by making people realize that a good appearance does not necessarily imply a disease-free individual. But this is not the case, sometimes STDs don't have symptoms at all. A study reveals that among those initially diagnosed with HIV infection, one-third (32 percent) were diagnosed with AIDS within 12 months, indicating they were likely infected for many years without knowing it. While along the times when they don’t realize they are infected with HIV, they could transmit this deadly disease to their sex partner unknowingly. Moreover, denying the possibility of HIV transmission by using a condom seemed reasonable, but STDs are not transmitted only by secrete or urethra-exposure (Which usually are negated by the use of condom), there are still some other sexual diseases transmittable by skin-to-skin contact (e.g. herpes, syphilis, and HPV) and condoms only negates 62% of the risks. Therefore, healthy appearance does not implicate that he/she is a safe partner to have intimate relationship with. Avoid free sex, get a checkup, and talk to your doctor about your sexual health.

Go CHAT Before Late Januardi Indra Jaya, Nadia Magdalena, Armeida Pratiwi Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT: Syphilis is one of the sexual transmitted diseases that have a danger complication that can even lead to death. The complications are CNS damage, neural damage, heart failure, and event become a congenital syphilis which lead to a premature baby or even stillbirth. Syphilis complication will occur after several years that it doesn’t give any symptoms or known as latent phase, but once they went to complication phase (tertiary syphilis), the damage is irreversible. So, the only way to prevent the syphilis damage is when the symptoms occur since the syphilis can easily be cured with antibiotic. This poster provides the information and tips of how to eradicate syphilis before it’s too late. We suggest the reader to check for lesion around genital as the lesion might go painless so they have to search it. We also suggest the reader to aware of skin rash in syphilis, because skin rash in syphilis has a unique pattern which it often appear in palm and sole. At last we suggest the reader whether they are have that sign at the moment or had experienced any of it before (they are in latent syphilis phase) to take test because syphilis test is the only definite way to diagnose syphilis in a patient body. In the end they can eradicate syphilis before late. Directors of Authors Name : Januardi Indra Jaya E-mail : Januardi.indra@gmail.com Phone : 087839131819



NO ONE IS SAFE FROM HIV Chrisandi Yusuf Rizqiansyah, Camoya Gersom, Cakra Parindra Gasmara Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT: HIV is a retrovirus that causes AIDS. It's a condition in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening infections to thrive. Many factors may lead to the spread of HIV, endangering many lifes. The infection of HIV is without symptoms until an average of 10 years. That means, you never know what hits you and by the time you do, it's already too late.Unprotected sexual activity remains as one of the big factors. In low-income countries, the risk of transmission from anal intercourse is especially high, estimated as 1.4–1.7% per act in both heterosexual and homosexual contacts. Meanwhile in Indonesia, 51% of the whole population are infected with STD, and among them, 210.000 are infected with HIV AIDS. The lack of proper education has not helped in lessening the number of people involved in unprotected sexual activity, in fact the number only increases. This should be our concern as medical students because we are responsible in the development of this country, especially in medical field. Treatment and management aside, we are responsible in educating prevention of HIV AIDS among people. First, people who are sexually active should perform a voluntary counseling and testing in knowing whether or not they're infected with HIV. Second, HIV AIDS are best known for infecting people who have multiple sex partners, being faithful to your partner is definitely good to prevent the spread of HIV. Third, a good use of condom can further help in preventing HIV AIDS because condoms are produced with a substance that can kill sperm cells. Last but not least, a proper education about safe/protected sexually activity starting at early teen groups to adults are recommended in increasing awareness of HIV AIDS spread.

Gonorrhea Eradication Andreas Jeffrey, Shelby Ernanda, Hashfi Mafazi Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University, Indonesia

ABSTRACT: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that infects men and women. The causative bacterium of this disease is Neisseria gonorrhea. Infections can occur in the genitals, rectum, and throat.Gonorrhea remains a public health problem,it is a very common infection, especially among young people ages 15-24 years. 106.1 million new cases of Neisseria gonorrhea infection worldwidereported by WHO in 2008, while in 1999 3.2 million new cases were reported in East Asia and Pacific. CDC also reported that 700.000 new cases reported per annum. Most men infected with gonorrhea have burning sensation while urinating and yellowish white dischargefrom genital. Most women do not have symptoms. Few women with symptoms have discharge from the vagina and possibly some burning during urinating. Women may also have abdominal pain or abnormal bleeding. Gonorrhea can also causes throat inflammation. Gonorrhea spread to the blood or joints have been reported and this condition is life threatening. Also, people with gonorrhea more easily contract HIV.Gonorrhea is spread through sexual contact. This includes penis to vagina, penis to mouth, penis to rectum and mouth to vagina contact. Gonorrhea can also be spread from mother to child during birth. The risk of Neisseria gonorrheainfection can be reduced by acting safe sex. Safe sex means using condoms correctly and sexual intercourse limitation (not having sex with multiple partners and not having sex with suspect of Neisseria gonorrhea infection).Also if someone experiencing symptoms occurrence this person should do sexual abstinence and immediately see a doctor. By reducing the risk of infection, better life quality is expected. Safe Sex Acted, Gonorrhea Eradicated.

Shut the Transmission of HIV, Salvage your Life! Kevin Sastra Dhinata Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, Indonesia

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) has become a major health problem in various countries in the world, including Indonesia. It is caused by the infection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which may spread by blood, passively from mother with HIV to the fetus, and mostly, by exposure to body fluids during sexual intercourses. This HIV virus depresses the sufferer’s immune system so that he/she will have his/her immune system suppressed gradually until it will be inadequate for it to combat diseases. Thus, making the sufferer very vulnerable to infections. The eventual condition is known as AIDS, so that it takes time from the time of infection to become AIDS. Data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia shows that the cumulative total number of people living with HIV from 1987 until June 2014 is 142950, and 55623 of them are living with AIDS. HIV infection can be prevented and as the easy and safe curative treatment for HIV/AIDS is not available yet, so we are advised to shut the transmission. Many people are aware of this disease, but most of the time, they don’t know how to protect themselves. We can protect ourselves by using the SHUT philosophy that the author proposed in this poster: S: Stay with one sex partner if possible H: His/her health status. Check whether your partner has HIV infection U: Use condoms to protect sexual intercourses T: Teach and educate your loved ones so that they won’t get infected Besides that, in this poster I used the slogan: “Shut the transmission, Salvage your life!” It is expected that readers will follow the simple steps in the catchy SHUT philosophy to protect them from being infected by HIV so that their life will not be ruined by it.

SPREAD FACTS NOT FEAR HELP OTHER SEE THE WORLD IN DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE Danintya F.T, Nabila N.R, Yukko A. Faculty of Medicine, University of Brawijaya, Indonesia

Background HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest problems that has puzzled the medical world, this is because AIDS is life threatening and as of present there is no cure for the disease. People become infected with HIV through bodily fluids such as blood, semen, breast milk, and vaginal fluids. These fluids can be passed between people in a variety of ways, including having unprotected sex (oral, vaginal, or anal) or sharing needles. HIV can also be passed from mother to child during childbirth or through breast-feeding. During HIV infection, the virus attacks and destroys the infection-fighting healthy immune cell of the body’s immune system. Loss of healthy immune cell makes it difficult for the immune system to fight infections. The active labour force is greatly affected and this has enormous consequences for the future generation, constitute those that practice risky behaviour, drug addiction and premarital sex, which can increase the chances of the increase of HIV infection. The risk of HIV/AIDS infections among youths in the tertiary Institutions has increased in recent years. The sample consisted of 162 males and 162 females, between the ages of 20–24 in 3 Tertiary Institutions. The results of the survey indicated that socio-economic factors, culture and tradition all play a significant role in the differences between female and male perceptions of the HIV/AIDS HIV and AIDS is a matter of concern because the number of cases has increased dramatically over the last ten years.

The Beautiful One Could Be The Deadly One Julius Albert Sugianto, Yusuf Azmi, and Ahmadin Yusuf Rizal Susatyo Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University - Surabaya, INDONESIA

Abstract With the increase of Metropolitan lifestyle in Indonesia, free sex comes along. A survey in 2007 stated that 45% teenagers in big cities around Indonesia admitted doing premarital sex. The consequence of this trending behavior itself is evident. Researches have suggested an increase in HIV/AIDS, HPV, and Syphillis prevalence among Indonesians and this problem needs to be tackled soon. In this poster we would like to prevent the further growth of STD prevalence by suggesting people to avoid free sex. In a layman perspective, and maybe most of us, people tend to think that as long as our sex partner is attractive and is capable in doing their daily life freely, it means that they are diseasefree. But this is not the case. A study reveals that among those initially diagnosed with HIV infection, one-third (32 percent) were diagnosed with AIDS within 12 months, indicating they were likely infected for many years without knowing it. While along the time when they don’t realize they are infected with HIV, they could transmit this deadly disease to their sex partner(s) unknowingly. On the other hand, denying the possibility of HIV transmission by using a condom is acceptable, but not all STDs are preventable by condoms, there are still some other sexual diseases transmittable by skin-to-skin contact (e.g. herpes, syphilis, and HPV) and condoms only negate 62% of the risks. Therefore, healthy appearance does not implicate that he/she is a safe partner to have intimate relationship with. Avoid free sex, get a checkup, and consult to your doctor about your sexual health.
