CIANJUR - The Health Office (Dinkes) of Cianjur Regency, West Java, noted that as many as 488 people had deviant behaviors of male sex men (LSL) in the area tested positive for HIV/AIDS. Of the 488 LSL people, 168 of whom underwent treatment, 320 people did not seek treatment, and 21 others died. Secretary of the Cianjur Regency Health Office Yusman Faisal said that during the last eight years most of the sex offenders had closed themselves and only a small part dared to open and undergo routine treatment every month. "This registered LSL has opened up and is willing to undergo tests, it is likely that there are many more LSLs in Cianjur, because this is the LSL data that has opened up, undergoing tests, and is positive for HIV/AIDS sufferers," said Yusman as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, March 10. Meanwhile, the number of NGOs in Cianjur, he said, has not yet been recorded with certainty, but his party has confirmed the number of more than hundreds of people. It's just that, his party focuses on handling those who are already HIV/AIDS positive, facilitating the treatment so that the virus does not develop quickly. Secretary of the AIDS Management Commission (KPA) Cianjur Hilman admitted that until now his party does not yet have definite data on the number of LSLs in Cianjur, but the rough data that had been pocketed were more than a thousand people and 488 of them had HIV/AIDS. "Those who have opened up quite a number of LSLs in Cianjur are quite a lot, but they don't dare to mention numbers, while the data that appear are only slightly compared to the original data that have not been revealed," he said.

To prevent perpetrators of sexual deviation, said Hilman, it continues to grow and need the participation of all parties, from the government, community and religious leaders, to the general public. Guidance and prevention from an early age so that children do not misinstall. "We will provide guidance to schools so that students stay away from acts prohibited by religion and the norms of life, because from these behaviors, they can catch diseases that have no cure and end up in death," said Hilman.
