  2. Conflict of Interest “No Conflicts of Interest to Declare”

  3. PAPUA PROVINCE v Map of Indonesia

  4. Estimated HIV prevalence is 2,3% (IBBS 2013) in general population (Papua Province). Categorized as low level generalized epidemy. • PWID – 41% (IBBS 2011) • FSW – 10% (IBBS 2011) • MSM – 8% (IBBS 2011)

  5. The challenge for key population is to access HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care services where they live in resource-poor settings and have these services be free from stigma and discrimination.

  6. PLHIV and ART • Yosefina (not her real name): Diagnosed HIV+ 2013 and started treatment at Puskesmas (health care center) • Stopped treatment after 3 months because of fear of being stigmatized • Lack of confidentiality at Puskesmas and discrimination within the community

  7. Now Puskesmas offers stigma-free services which helped her get back on treatment. “during my regular health center visits I discuss with HCWs about importance of treating clients, reagent for testing and medications so clients are treated well to ensure they come back. We don’t want any client to suffer like Yosefina did because of unfriendly services” Me and my team!

  8. My recommendations to fight stigma and discrimination in health care setting
