JAKARTA - Excise Specialist at Krakatau Medika Hospital Banten Santoso Edy Budiono is worried that the rise of online prostitution today could trigger an increase in the potential for HIV/AIDS infection in Indonesian children and adolescents.
"Not to mention that there is an influence from the media or gadgets that are open to something pornographic or pornographic in nature," said Santoso at the 2022 World AIDS Day Media Meeting which was followed online in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, November 29.
Santoso said that based on a survey, 80 percent of Indonesia's population has become a user of an application called MiChat which is often used as a space for marketing prostitution.
The ease of technology and the freedom to access various information is feared to make children who do not have good digital literacy exposed to HIV/AIDS because they access it without knowing the bad effects of free sex.
This is what I think parents should realize the importance of digital literacy in children. So they can prevent and know the consequences of unfavorable relationships, "he said.
According to him, the knowledge of parents related to free sex and HIV/AIDS is very important to protect all children and their partners at home. Because, it is known that HIV/AIDS has been found in Indonesian families.
This is due to behavior outside the home that is not good and the existence of groups classified as 4M which means Man, Macho, Mobile with Money. Where this group is synonymous with men who have jobs far from their families.
In addition, the existence of free sex that does not use protection such as condoms also increases the potential for HIV/AIDS transmission. Moreover, until now condoms are still considered taboo by the public. Unfortunately, this cannot be changed in society because it is related to changes in behavior in a short time.
Dresses to socialize the importance of using condoms as a means of self-protection from transmission of sexually transmitted infections are also getting smaller.
"In the field I face many challenges, as if we will justify something that should not be done, even though if the approach is not from there, from a health perspective we can only recommend the use of condoms," he said.
The Secretary and Coordinator of the Banten AIDS Assistant Team said that currently the awareness to use condoms is getting smaller, even though the distribution has been released and sold in various existing minimarkets.
In order to overcome these problems, he hopes that socialization related to condoms or HIV/AIDS will begin to be intensified from now on at the family level as a form of early prevention and prevent transmission at the child-child level through parents.
“We want to make the mother center of excellence earlier. Later she will transmit her knowledge to her child from an early age. Sex education must start early, not after someone enters the end or grows up. This must be guided not looking for yourself, it must be guided by parents,” said the member of the HIV/AIDS and IMS panel of experts from the Ministry of Health.
