SURABAYA – Pasca penutupan lokalisasi Dolly-Jarak, Pemkot Surabaya dihadapkan pada pekerjaan besar untuk memantau penderita HIV/AIDS. Semua instansi dikerahkan untuk tetap mengendalikan penularan penyakit berbahaya itu dari berbagai sisi.
Langkah utama pemkot adalah menggerakkan 62 puskesmas yang tersebar di seluruh Surabaya. Tenaga medis di puskesmas itu telah dibekali kemampuan dan peralatan untuk mendeteksi penyakit HIV/AIDS. Mereka akan secara aktif mencari orang-orang yang diduga menderita penyakit tersebut. "Petugas bisa mendatangi orang yang dicurigai dan mengetesnya," kata Kepala Pengendalian Masalah Kesehatan Dinas Kesehatan Surabaya dr Mira Novia, Sabtu (19/7).

Among heterosexual African couples in which the male was HIV positive and the female was not, receipt of antiretroviral pre-exposure preventive (PrEP) therapy did not result in significant differences in pregnancy incidence, birth outcomes, and infant growth compared to females who received placebo, according to a study in the July 23/30 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on HIV/AIDS. The authors note that these findings do not provide a definitive conclusion regarding the safety of PrEP therapy prior to pregnancy. The issue is being released early to coincide with the International AIDS Conference.
Antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis as daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and co-formulated emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC+TDF) has been demonstrated to be efficacious for the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition in diverse populations. PrEP could be an important component of safer conception strategies for women at risk for HIV infection, including those in HIV-serodiscordant couples (i.e., in which only one member is HIV infected), but the effect on pregnancy outcomes is not well defined, according to background information in the article.

With widespread numbers of HIV patients in treatment, researchers and advocates are talking at this week's International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia, about finally reversing the pandemic.
"At this point, even without a vaccine and a cure, we have the tools," said Anthony Fauci, an immunologist and long-time head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "We can sharply deflect the curve of HIV incidence."
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization recommended that medication should be considered a prevention tool alongside condoms for those at high risk for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
