Abstract

HIV/AIDS is a disease that weakens the immune system, causes opportunistic diseases, and increased morbidity and mortality. Since the beginning of its discovery, the HIV/AIDS epidemic now has spread and infected all countries. There are still many people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) neglecting to prevent transmission of HIV infection. Prevention of HIV transmission is a serious challenge and it is important to reduce new infections. Not many people with HIV positive status are willing to tell their partners, and this has the potential to infect others. This cross-sectional study is aimed to identify the relationship between factors of knowledge and spirituality with the prevention behavior of HIV/AIDS transmission by PLWHA, and recruited 100 PLWHA in Jakarta. The results of bivariate analysis through the chi-square test concluded that there was no relationship between knowledge and the prevention behavior of HIV/AIDS transmission, and there was a significant relationship between spirituality and prevention behavior of HIV/AIDS transmission. Therefore, the spirituality aspect of PLWHA needs to be considered by the health team to behave positively in the prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.
