As a social, cultural, and political factor, religion impacts the way in which communities understand and respond to HIV/AIDS. Structural factors such as sexual violences, policing, incarceration, drug treatment availability, drug use law, immigration policies, stigma, and discrimination shape where and how risk happens, and whether people receive needed assistance. Religion coincides with numerous cultural factors, influenting perspectives on prevention approaches and stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS. The role of religious organizations in caring for people living with HIV/AIDS has been limited and religious beliefs may contribute to stigma and discriminations. The HIV/AIDS epidemics in some areas in Indonesia has already reached the “concentrated” stage. It was estimated that as of 2002 there were approximately 12 millions to 19 millions people in Indonesia who were at risk of being infected with HIV/AIDS. Some of the groups identified as being vulnerable to HIV/AIDS infection are Injection Drug User (IDUs); female sex workers; male clients of female sex workers; men who have sex with men (MSM), including male sex workers and gays; transvestites and their clients; and sexual partners of people in these groups. Based on HIV/AIDS sentinel surveillance results and a number of studies on these vulnerable groups, it is estimated that about 90,000 to 130,000 people had been enfected with HIV/AIDS by the year 2002. This paper will analyze the role of religion when the religion, in this case Islam, look at the HIV/AIDS infection. The questions will be pose are what are the patterns about HIV/AIDS in Indonesia if associated with Islam? This research is preliminary research, thus I use the literature reviews in order to write this paper. |
