1 This report contains the results of the 2013 HIV Sero-Surveillance Survey and the Rapid
Behavioral surveys. In its first part, the report describes the results of the 2013 HIV Sero-Surveillance Survey Survey (SSS) conducted by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and in its second part, it provides the results of the 2013 Rapid Behavioral survey (RBS) conducted by the National AIDS Commission (NAC).
The 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey was conducted among direct female sex workers (DFSW), people who inject drugs (PWID), men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgenders in 22 cities while the 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey included MSM, DFSW, and PWID in 8 cities.
The Sero-Surveillance Survey aimed to determine the magnitude of the HIV epidemic and syphilis among key populations and the Rapid Behavioral Survey studied the prevalence of associated risk factors. The results of these surveys will serve to set targets for the new national HIV/AIDS national strategic plan and for planning and/or modifying existing programs to prevent HIV in Indonesia.
DFSW and transgender participants were sampled using a two stages probability proportional to size method while MSM and PWID were sampled using the respondent driven sampling method (RDS). The target sample sizes were 250 for each key population
per site for the 2013 SSS and 240 per site for the 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey.
A total of 6603 participants were recruited for the 2013 SSS. Of those, 3685 were DFSW, 985 were transgenders, 978 were PWID, and 985 were MSM.
The total number of participants in the 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey was 2829. Of these, 1120 were DFSW, 989 were PWID, and 720 were MSM.
Characteristics of Respondents
In the 2013 SSS, direct female sex workers represented 55.8% of participants, PWID and transgenders represented each 14.8%, and MSM represented 14.5% of participants. The distribution of all key populations by location was as followed: 14% were from Malang, 15% from Surabaya, 15% from Jakarta and 15% from Bandung. All the other locations had less than 7% of the participants.
In the 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey, 25% of the participants were MSM, 40% DFSW and 35% were PWID. By location, Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya contributed each 17% of participants; Denpasar 14% and Malang, Medan and Banyuwangi contributed each 8%.

1. Background
Indonesia is facing one of the fast growing HIV epidemic in the Southeast Asia region. With an estimated half a million people believed to be infected by HIV in Indonesia[1]. Indonesia has both concentrated epidemic in the majority of its districts and a generalized epidemic in the Papua region[2]. Given the mortality and morbidity caused by the disease, it is very important to continuously monitor its burden in order to orient efficiently prevention and support programs and evaluate the response put in place to tackle the epidemic. Hence, the country has instituted HIV surveillance. This is a systematic data collection on HIV, followed by analysis, interpretation to collected data, and dissemination for utilization for HIV programs design, planning and for the evaluation of impacts in the community.
Since 1988, Indonesia conducted HIV Sero-Surveillance Survey and Syphilis in two provinces, Jakarta and East Java to measure the burden and the trend of HIV and Syphilis distribution among sex workers. For more representativeness of the HIV surveillance, the number of provinces and districts participating in HIV surveillance and the target groups increased over the years. Since then, HIV prevalence surveillance was conducted as sentinel surveillance or as ad hoc exercises. Other key populations including men who have sex with men (MSM), direct female commercial sex workers (DFSW), indirect female sex workers (IDFSW), people who inject drug (PWID), transgenders and other high risk populations who are at risk of getting HIV due to their occupations such as fishermen, truck drivers (called high risk men (HRM) were included.
From 1996, a surveillance of risky behaviors exposing individuals to HIV was instituted. This was followed by the adoption of the report on the second generation of HIV surveillance[3] and the HIV surveillance system in Indonesia included HIV prevalence, risky behaviors and knowledge about HIV prevention and HIV program coverages. In 2007, for the first time, Indonesia conducted its first integrated biological and behavioral survey(IBBS)[1], which was followed by two other rounds in 2011[2] in the same geographical areas. However, given the large size of the country and logistic challenges to conduct the integrated biological and behavioral survey across the country at once, IBBS was conducted in two groups of provinces in two different waves of surveys. The survey also included the measurement of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as STIs increases the transmission of HIV [4]. Therefore, an increase in STIs may indicate a potential risk of increased HIV prevalence.
HIV prevalence has been high in some key populations in most of the districts in Indonesia except in Papua region where the infection has reached the general population The 2000 Sentinel Surveillance showed that HIV prevalence among the female sex workers (FSW) was greater than 5% in several locations. It was even higher as 26.5% in Sorong (Papua).

STIs prevalence remains high among sexual active and other adult key populations in Indonesia. The 2011 Integrated Biological and Behavior Survey indicated that prevalence of gonorrhea in several locations was between 19% and 38%, the prevalence of chlamydia ranged between 21% and 41%, syphilis was found among 2% and 10% of tested adults. It also showed that HIV prevalence was between 0.7% and 41% and both gonorrhea and or chlamydia were concomitantly found among 33% to 56% of tested adults[2].
STIs prevalence may also reflect condom use behavior. An increasing condom use will reduce STIs’ incidence and prevalence, and if sustained, it can also have an impact on the reduction of HIV prevalence with time. The STIs prevalence is also able to inform on the coverage and quality of the STI control program. Therefore, given the higher prevalence of STIs among key populations and the great concern that the prevalence of HIV in Indonesia is increasing following the pattern of STIs distribution, a periodical data monitoring of STI prevalence as part of HIV surveillance is needed, to see the trend of sexual behavior, and the potential of HIV transmission [4]. STI’ surveillance may serve as a tool for monitoring, evaluation, and planning of STI and HIV and AIDS control program.
With the introduction of the second generation of HIV surveillance approach, Indonesia started monitoring risky behaviors among key populations.
In 2010, the national AIDS commission, in collaboration with different partners and local authorities, conducted the first rapid behavioral survey among PWID and female commercial sex workers. PWID were surveyed in 8 cities (Medan, Palembang, DKI Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Denpasar, Makassar) and were recruited from 10 cities (Bintan, Palembang, Jakarta Barat, Semarang City, Malang, Banyuwangi, Denpasar, Makassar, Jayapura and Sorong City) respectively. This survey showed that 73% PWID did not share needles at their last injection, 63% of them did not share needles in their last week injections, 61% of them did not share needles in the last moth injections and 35% did not share needles during injections in the past last year prior to the survey[5, 6].

2.1. Sero-Surveillance Survey
The Sero-Surveillance Survey was a cross-sectional, using a two-stage sampling techniques. It was conducted from July to October 2013 in 22 cities/districts from 11 provinces. For the Sero-Surveillance Survey DFSW were recruited form 16 cites, PWID were recruited from five cities, transgenders were from four cities, and MSM were recruited from four cities (Table 2).
The population for the Sero-Surveillance Survey included direct female sex workers, people who inject drugs, transgenders and men who have sex with men. The participants for the Sero-Surveillance Survey wererecruited from multiple sites, including community health centers, hotspots, support groups and community based organizations.
2.1.1. Selection criteria
To be included in the study, participants should have been identified to one of the key population definitions below:
Direct female sex worker (DFSW) - a woman who operates openly as a commercial
sex worker;
Transgenders are biologically males but behave and feel like women. Transgenders
in this 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey are not only sex workers but also include those who work in salons;
Men who have sex with men includes men who consider themselves as gay or those
who do not but have sex with men and includes men who are bisexual as well as homosexual;
People who inject drugs are people who inject drugs or have a history of injecting
drugs in the last 1 year.
2.1.1.1. Sampling
During the sampling of DFSW and transgenders, the first stage consisted into selecting sample at the survey sites by using the Cluster Information Sheet (CIS) application according to the decided sampling framework. The CIS application was used to perform the sample selection at the survey sites using Probability Proportional to Size

The respondents driven sampling was used for mobile and hard to find key populations such as MSM and PWID. This sampling method was used because behavior in which these subpopulations engaged in is illegal or stigmatized. A total of eight participants were selected by the surveyors and recruited as seeds. These seeds recruited the next wave of participants who also went on to recruit each three (3) other participants using the snowball technique until the end of the recruiting period.
For the Sero-Surveillance Survey, the sample size for each key population was 250 per surveyed site. The total sample size planned for DFSW, PWID, MSM and transgenders was eight thousand participants.
2.1.2. Biological testing and quality assurance
Blood was collected by venipuncture from consenting key population participants. All surveyors were trained to collect and handle specimen accordingly to the national standard procedures. Laboratory technicians were also trained in performing correctly HIV and syphilis tests. All collected specimens were sent to the provincial laboratories designated by the Ministry of Health. HIV tests were performed using Focus (R1) and Oncoprobe (R2) HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Rapid Test reagents following the MOH national HIV testing algorithm for HIV surveillance. Syphilis test used Rapid SD (TPHA) and RPR Shield (RPR).
All laboratories had an internal and external quality assurance system in place to ensure
the validity of the test result.
2.1.3. Locations
Both the 2013 Sero-surveillance Survey and Rapid Behavioral Survey (RBS) recruited
participants from the 22 cities/districts in 11 provinces listed below:

2.2. Rapid Behavioral Survey
2.2.1. Sample size
The sample size for each risk sub population was determined accordingly to the WHO recommendation and the National Guideline of Second Generation HIV Surveillance of 2013. These recommend a selection of 30 clusters of seven respondents in each location. To account for data quality and none response, the sample size was fixed at 240 respondents per each risk group in each selected location (city or district). This is generally sufficient enough to be fairly a uniform distribution of the key population of interest as per WHO recommendation. The total sample size key population and location is provided below (Table 2).
2.2.2. Tools
A structured questionnaire was used to collect behavioral data on injecting and sexual behaviors between MSM and DFSW. Surveyors were trained to conduct interview and record participants ‘responses in the questionnaire. PWID were not included in the
2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey.
2.3. Implementation

2.4. Analysis
Univariate analysis was conducted at location level only for both biological and behavioral data to determine prevalence of HIV and syphilis among different key populations and the frequency of risk behaviors among DFSW, PWID, and MSM. A chi square test was used to compare observed data in 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey to the 2011 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey results. This test was also used to determine the trends within same locations having data for 2007-2013.
These analyses concerned only DFSW, PWID, MSM, and transgenders.
Limitations
The behavioral data and the biological data from the 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey could not be linked at individual level due to some technical reasons, making any association between HIV and syphilis prevalence and risk behaviors difficult. Only indirect inference can be made from the data in this report.
Comparison of data of HIV and syphilis prevalence at location level should be interpreted with caution as the disaggregation at that level yielded small numbers.
Limitations inherent to sampling methods are not excluded from this study. The multi-stage sampling method used for transgenders and direct female sex workers may not reflect the diversity of the community from where the sample came. It may provide less information per observation than a simple random sampling (SRS) of the same size (redundant information: similar information from the others in the cluster) and the standard errors of the estimates may be high, compared to other sampling designs with same sample size.

3.1.5. Comparison between HIV and syphilis prevalence between 2011 Integrated
Biological and Behavioral Survey and 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey
When compared to the 2011 IBBS, and including only the districts which participated in the 2011 integrated biological and behavioral survey, HIV prevalence among the MSM increased significantly from 10.6% to 17.3% [p< 0.000002, OR=0.56 (0.43-0.73)]. On the other hand there was a significant decrease in HIV prevalence among transgenders from 23.8% to 19% [p=0.01, OR=1.33 (1.07-1.65). The prevalence of HIV among PWID and among DFSW remained stable (the change was not statistically significant at 95% of confidence interval) between the two surveys (Table 12).

Except for Malang where HIV prevalence increased significantly from 36.4% to 59.1% [p<0.001, OR=0.4 (0.2 7-0.58)]; HIV prevalence among PWID remained stable between the 2011 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey and the 2013 HIVSero-Surveillance Survey (Table 4). Syphilis prevalence remained stable among PWID across all locations (Table 8) HIV prevalence among MSM increased in Bandung and in Surabaya from 10.4% to 21.3% [p=0.001, OR=0.43(0.26-0.72)] and from 10% to 17.3% [p<0.001, OR=0.53(0.4-0.69)]. There was no significant change of the syphilis prevalence among MSM across different locations between the two surveys (Tables 5-9).
HIV prevalence among transgenders remained stable across all the locations (p>0.05) except in Malang where a significant decline was observed from 16.8% to 9.2% [p=0.017, OR=2.01(1.16-3.48)] (Table 6). Among the same key population, the prevalence of syphilis declined significantly in Bandung from 26.4% to 14% [p<0.001, OR=2.19(1.39-3.46)] and in Malang from 20.8% to 4.2% [p<0.001, OR=6.07(3-12.26)] (Table 10).

3.2.1. Participation rate
Table 14: Sample sizes by locations for the Rapid Behavioral Survey, 2013 Sero-Surveillance Survey
Data for the rapid behavioral survey from integrated location were collected from the cities and locations as follow:
PWID: Medan City, DKI Jakarta, Bandung City, Semarang City, Surabaya City
DFSW: Semarang City, Denpasar City, Malang City, Banyuwangi district
MSM: DKI Jakarta, Bandung City, Surabaya City.
The planned sample size for each key population was 240 per selected site except from DFSW in Denpasar were the planned sample was elevated to 400 because of its size of DFSW. The participation rate was maximal for in all the cities and location except from Semarang where the sample size for PWID was reached at 18% and in Medan where PWID were reached at 94%.
3.2.2. Risk behaviors among key population 3.2.2.1. Direct female sex workers
From the 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey, the weekly median number of clients per DFSW in Semarang was four clients. The highest number of clients per DFSW per week was noted in Denpasar (14 clients) followed by Malang (eight clients) and Banyuwangi
(seven clients).
The proportion of DFSW who used condom during their last commercial sexual intercourse was 76.5% in Denpasar, 71.3% in Malang and Banyuwangi and 68.8% in Semarang. Consistent condom use during the last week preceding the survey was reported at 65.5% in Denpasar, 38.3% in Semarang, 35.1% in Banyuwangi and 24.2% in Malang.

3.2.3. Comparison between risk behaviors between the 2011 Integrated Biological
and Behavioral Survey and 2013 Rapid Behavioral Survey
There has not been a significant declined of the median number of DFSWs' sexual clients per week in the four cities surveyed. However, the results showed a significant declined of the proportion of DFSW who used condom during their last sexual encounter in Malang and in Denpasar. This rate dropped from 83.2% to 71.3% [P=0.0025, OR= 1.99 (1.29-3.07)] in Malang. In addition, in Denpasar, that drop was from 90% to 76.5% [P=0.00003, OR=2.74(1.71-4.4). It is also worth noting that the proportion of DFSW who reported consistent condom use during the last week prior to the survey declined significantly from 35.1% to 12.5% [P<0.001, OR=3.78(2.38-5.99)] in Bandung and from 44.9% to 24.2% [P<0.001, OR=2.57 (1.74-3.780] in Malang. It was noted that the use condom in commercial sex among DFSW during the same period increased significantly from 49.6% to 65.5% in Denpasar [P<001, OR=0.52 (0.38-0.72)]. The percentage of MSM injecting drugs dropped from 5% to 0% in Jakarta between 2011 and 2013 (p<001) but remained stable in the other cities. The proportion of MSM who used condom during their last sexual encounter dropped significantly in Surabaya from 75.9% to 53% [P=00001, OR=2.79(1.9-4.1)].
