    The official HIV/AIDS count in Indonesia is low, but an estimated 250,000 Indonesians are infected. Injecting drug use may significantly increase the actual number of human immunodeficiency virus cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • The reported prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Indonesia has historically been considered low.
    • Official records since 1987 show 1146 HIV diagnoses and 293 AIDS cases.
    • The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated 250,000 infections in Indonesia by June 1999.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the estimated prevalence of HIV infection in Indonesia.
    • To identify potential underestimation of HIV cases due to specific risk factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of official HIV/AIDS case reporting.
    • Inclusion of WHO estimates for national prevalence.
    • Consideration of emerging risk behaviors like injecting drug use.

    Main Results:

    • The estimated national HIV prevalence is approximately 120 per 100,000 population.
    • This prevalence aligns with estimates for sexual transmission.
    • A significant potential for undercounting exists due to the rise in injecting drug use.

    Conclusions:

    • The actual number of HIV infections in Indonesia may be several times higher than official figures suggest.
    • The rapid increase in injecting drug use represents a critical, under-surveilled factor in HIV transmission.
    • Targeted surveillance and outreach among injecting drug users are crucial for accurate HIV burden assessment.
