Lay epidemiology and strategic ignorance in relation to HIV risk and testing
From Despair to Hope
The concept of hope is fundamentally intertwined with the notion of human freedom. In this paper, we explore the hopes of 24 men who have sex with men (MSM) interviewed in Yogyakarta in relation to place, which we refer to as a ‘hopeful place‘, a place that enables them to have hope for the future. This topic is significant because a place and its characteristics can influence, hinder, transform, create, or foster hope for the future. Data analys…
Over 30 years of HIV interventions in Indonesia
Globally, approximately 40.8 million individuals are currently living with HIV, with over one million new infections and over half a million AIDS-related deaths reported each year, indicating the need for more tailored HIV interventions. HIV interventions in Indonesia have been delivered for over 30 years, yet recent data indicate a notable increase in new HIV infections over the past decade. This review comprehensively synthesises available evid…
HIV risk perception through unprotected sex after traditional male circumcision (the practice of sifon ) using the health belief model in West Timor, Indonesia
This study aimed to explore the HIV risk perception of having unprotected sexual intercourse following traditional male circumcision (TMC), a practice known as sifon, in West Timor, Indonesia. Guided by the Health Belief Model, we interviewed 34 men who underwent TMC, 7 traditional practitioners and 13 women who had engaged and analysed them thematically. The result showed that most of the participants had low HIV risk perception towards sifon pr…
Socio-ecological determinants of multiple anthropometric failures among under-five children
The composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF) offers a comprehensive measure of the overall burden of undernutrition in children, extending beyond the traditional anthropometric indices to better capture the co-occurrence of multiple anthropometric deficits. Despite its growing use, evidence on the determinants of CIAF remains fragmented and inconclusive. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify and synthesize the determi…
Structural conditions, social networks, and the HIV vulnerability among Indonesian male labour migrants and motorbike taxi drivers
The findings underscore the importance of social network peer interventions that consider the dynamics of these networks. Such interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing HIV-risk behaviours and transmission, as well as in promoting HIV prevention and treatment among diverse population groups
Perceived and Experienced Social and Psychological Implications of Not Undergoing Traditional Male Circumcision in West Timor, Indonesia
Traditional male circumcision (TMC) in some cultures is to some degree considered obligatory for men, with men who do not undergo such practice often facing negative consequences. This qualitative study aimed to explore the social and psychological implications of not undergoing the practice of TMC in the Atoni Meto tribe in West Timor, Indonesia. A total of 46 participants were recruited and interviewed including men who had performed sifon, tra…

Social Class and Changes in Australian Women's Affect and Alcohol Consumption During Covid-19
Introduction: Before the pandemic, mid-life women in Australia were among the “heaviest” female alcohol consumers, giving rise to myriad preventable health risks. This paper uses an innovative model of social class within a sample of Australian women to describe changes in affective states and alcohol consumption patterns across two time points during COVID-19. Methods: Survey data were collected from Australian mid-life women (45–64 years) at tw…

Association of demographic, lifestyle factors and serum biomarkers with hypertension in elderly Chinese people
Hypertension is a major cause of premature death in China. Understanding risk factors including behavioural and predisposing factors may help to prevent development of hypertension and control the extent of premature mortality. In this case-control design conducted in Hunan province, 416 hypertensive subjects were matched with an equal number of normotensive persons from nearly 9,000 volunteers. A self-report questionnaire was employed to collect…
Assessing Effectiveness of Aggression Replacement Training at a Technical College in Thailand
Youth violence is a significant public health issue in Thailand where most people who are injured are vocational college students. There is a need to identify methods whereby such violence can be prevented. We trialed a group program in a technical college in Thailand with 23 students who received a modified version of aggression replacement training. We then compared their results with those of 24 students who did not receive any intervention or…
A Trial of Mindfulness Meditation to Reduce Anger and Violence in Thai Youth
Never testing for HIV’ among Men who have Sex with Men in Viet Nam
Never testing for HIV is common among Internet-using men who have sex with men in Viet Nam. Given the dangerously high prevalence of this high-risk behaviour, our findings underscore the urgent need for segmented and targeted HIV prevention, care and treatment strategies, focusing on drastically reducing the number of men who have sex with men never testing for HIV in Viet Nam
