Abstract

There is an ongoing challenge of promoting HIV testing uptake and sustained treatment adherence among key and vulnerable populations. This study aimed to determine the characteristics and perspectives of HIV-positive individuals among the key and vulnerable populations in Surabaya, Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional study with a mixed-methods in HIV-positive key and vulnerable populations. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained from medical records. A questionnaire collected data on sociodemographic characteristics, behavior, sexual practices, cognitive function, depression, and quality of life. The study indicated that 52.8% of participants were HIV-late diagnosis with several characteristics: being male (p=0.021); having lower BMI (p=0.001), lower lymphocyte count (p<0.001), poor knowledge of HIV cause (p=0.016), low quality of life on physical health (p<0.001), psychological health (p=0.020), and social relationship (p<0.001); lower cognitive function (p<0.001); and moderate to severe depression (p<0.001) than non-HIV late diagnosis. The interviews revealed that most participants hid their HIV status from their families and experienced stigma. NGO staff played a crucial role in educating, encouraging, and assisting them in accessing relevant health services. More than half of the participants were diagnosed late. Improving community-based programs, expanding mental health resources, and reducing stigma are the key strategies for enhancing HIV-related outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains among the top ten global causes of mortality, with approximately 1.3 million deaths annually. Diabetes elevates the risk of active TB and treatment failure, potentially increasing drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). This study aimed to compare treatment success rates between TB patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) at Dr. Ramelan Central Naval Hospital, Surabaya.Subjects and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2019 to December 2023 at Dr. Ramelan Central Naval Hospital Surabaya. A total of 158 patients with TB-DM and TB-NonDM were selected using total sampling. The independent variables were the Presence of Diabetes Mellitus in TB patients (TB-DM vs. Non-TB-DM). The dependent variable was the treatment success rate. The data were collected from patient medical records and analyzed using a chi-square test to compare treatment outcomes between TB-DM and TB-Non-DM patients.Results: The analysis included 158 medical records. Predominantly affecting those over 45 years, both TB-DM and TB-Non-DM patients commonly underwent six months of treatment, with success rates of 78% in TB-DM and 82.4% in TB-Non-DM cases. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.511, indicating no significant difference in treatment success between the groups. However, older age and HIV-positive status were associated with lower odds of treatment success.Conclusion: Success rates were similar between the groups, showing no significant difference based on DM status. Despite similar success rates, older age and HIV-positive status were associated with lower odds of treatment success.
