Abstract

Background: Young men who have sex with men in Indonesia face a high vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections. However, evidence on the role of body modification and drug use remains limited. This study examined behavioral correlates of self-reported sexually transmitted infection symptoms. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2018–2019 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey, a cross-sectional respondent-driven sampling study involving 1,988 men aged 18–24 years across multiple Indonesian cities. Weighted logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios for sexually transmitted infection symptoms in relation to tattooing, piercing, drug use, condom use, HIV prevention knowledge, and sociodemographic factors. Results: The prevalence of self-reported sexually transmitted infection symptoms was 22.8%. Tattooing, piercing, and drug use were not independently associated with these symptoms after adjustment. In contrast, low human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) prevention knowledge (Adjusted OR = 8.53; 95% CI: 2.38–30.4) and inconsistent condom use (never: Adjusted OR = 32.3; 95% CI: 1.34–775.5; occasional: Adjusted OR = 3.57; 95% CI: 1.12–11.4) showed strong associations. Conclusion: The primary drivers of sexually transmitted infection symptoms among young men who have sex with men were gaps in HIV prevention knowledge and inconsistent condom use, rather than tattooing, piercing, or drug use. Interventions should prioritize sexual health education, condom promotion, and regulatory oversight for body modification practices.

Abstract

Bullying has increasingly affected elementary school students, with prevalence estimated at 25%. However, there is a lack of definitive data comparing bullying incidents between public and private elementary schools. This study aimed to compare the incidence of verbal and physical bullying among students at two elementary schools in Jayapura. A cross-sectional design was used, conducted in July 2024. The study involved a total population of 987 students, with a purposive sample of 102 students each from Inpres II Waena State Elementary School (public) and Muhammadiyah Elementary School (private). Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using Stata 14, applying bivariate analyses with chi-square tests. Findings revealed that verbal bullying was more prevalent at Inpres II Waena State Elementary School (66.7%) compared to Muhammadiyah Elementary School. Key factors associated with bullying included gender, age at first experience of bullying, and the availability of complaint channels. Verbal bullying often manifests as teasing or jokes, which are normalized due to the absence of firm sanctions for perpetrators. These results highlight the need for stronger school policies and structured reporting systems to address verbal bullying in both public and private school settings.
