    The objective of this study is to analyze the long-term trends of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydiatrachomatis (CT) infections and risk factors among female sex workers (FSW) in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. In order tounderstand the long-term trends, secondary data was examined from the years 1997-1999, 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2010; toanalyze associated factors, data from 2010 was used. Analysis indicates an overall decrease of NG prevalence in Bali from60.5% (95%CI: 56.6-64.5) in 1997 to 22% (95%CI: 16.8-27.1) in 2010. CT prevalence has also experienced a long termdecline but not to the same degree as NG. Findings from analysis of surveys in 2004 and 2010 indicate that there is a strongrelationship between condom use in the last sexual transaction with NG infection (p=0.02), duration of sex work (p=0.02),number of clients in the last week (p=0.01), clinic visit intervals and clinic visit frequency. CT prevalence was associatedwith the number of clients (p=0.04) and clinic visit frequency. Unfortunately, these were the only variables collectedtherefore a multivariate analysis was not possible. High prevalence of both GN and CT is associated with the high mobilityof FSW and low condom use. There is a significant long-term decrease of NG prevalence from 60.5% to 22%. However, CTexperienced an insignificant long term decrease from 41.3% to 35%

    Background and purpose: HIV prevalence among men who haved sex with men (MSM) increased from 5% on 2007 into 12% on 2011 in Indonesia. High risk sex behaviour was reported associated with HIV seroconversion, however reported research publication about risk factors of HIV seroconvertion among MSM is limited in Indonesia. This study aim to investigate risk factors of HIV seroconversion among MSM.Methods: Case control study was conducted based on cohort data from MSM which repeatetly visit Bali Medika Clinic, Kuta, Badung, Bali Province between 2011-2015. HIV Seroconversion was defined as MSM with a negative HIV status at the beginning of the observation and became positive on the next visit. Data were analyzed using Kaplan Meier and logistic regression method.Results: Median time of HIV seroconversion among MSM was 458 days or 1.2 years (IQR=224-699). Multivariate analysis showed that risk factors of HIV seroconversion were repeated STD's experience in the last 6 months with AOR=8.33 (95%CI: 1.77-89.81); had 1 time STD's history in last 6 months with AOR=1.91 (95%CI: 1.15-3.83); receptive sexual relationship in the last 6 months with AOR=3,45 (95%CI: 1.68-7.11); and versatile sexual relationship in the last 6 months with AOR=2.37 (95%CI: 1.09-5.13).Conclusion: STD's experience, receptive and versatile sexual role was reported as risk factors of HIV seroconversion among MSM

    Background and purpose: In 2012, the South Denpasar II Public Health Center (PHC) had the 2nd highestpercentage of reported cases of pneumonia (15.9%). This study aimed to determine duration of exclusivebreastfeeding, housing and environment conditions as risk factors of pneumonia among under-five children.Methods: The study design was a case control. The cases were 60 under-five children with pneumonia and recordedin the PHC register between 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2015. Controls were 60 healthy under-five children visiting thePHC during study. Interviews with parents were conducted using questionnaires, and observation carried out usingspecific guidelines. Measurements of house physical environment variables were using hygrometer, luxmeter androllmeter. Data were analyzed using Stata SE 12.1.Results: Characteristics of mothers was comparable in terms of age, education, and income; while the children werecomparable in terms of age and gender. Risk factors found to increase pneumonia was duration of exclusivebreastfeeding <two months with OR=5.24 (95%CI: 1.96-14.01), no Hib and pneumococcal immunization with OR=3.68(95%CI: 1.11-12.17), access to natural lighting with OR=2.72 (95%CI: 1.05-7.00) and house density with OR=3.11 (95%CI:1.18-8.19). Frequency of acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) >1 time in 6 months with OR=10.14 (95%CI: 3.67-28.02)were also found to be risk factors.Conclusion: Duration of exclusive breastfeeding, lack of natural lighting and house density were risk factors forpneumonia among under-five children
