Abstract

HIV remains a major public health concern in Indonesia and poses challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, particularly SDG 3.3. This study aimed to analyze the trend of newly reported HIV cases in Indonesia from 2020 to 2024 based on the number of cases, age groups, transmission risk factors, and their relevance to HIV/AIDS elimination targets. A descriptive study was conducted using secondary data from reports of the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the national HIV/AIDS information system. Data were analyzed descriptively according to year, age group, and transmission risk factors. The results showed an increase in reported HIV-positive cases from 41,987 in 2020 to 63,707 in 2024, with a temporary decline in 2021 associated with disruptions in health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cases were predominantly reported among the productive-age group of 25–49 years. Sexual transmission remained the main risk factor, with increasing proportions among men who have sex with men and heterosexual populations, while transmission through people who inject drugs remained low. These findings highlight the need to strengthen early detection, education, prevention, antiretroviral therapy, PrEP, reproductive health services, and surveillance to support the achievement of SDG 3.3.
