Each hour, 300 people around the world will contract HIV. AIDS kills more people than any other infectious disease.
Cumulative Number of HIV AIDS cases in Bali has surpassed 9.191
Indonesia's Provincial AIDS Control Commission says HIV and AIDS infections in Bali have increased year-on-year and even spread into rural areas of the island.
Bali Governor Mangku Pastka expressed his concern about the increasing number of HIV/AIDS cases in Bali , Reportedly there are currently 9,191 known cases of infection in Bali.
The increase has led to experts warning that heterosexuals and those aged in their 20s are the main at-risk group.
The AIDS Control Commission's Professor Mangku Karmaya says 75 per cent of the cases were among heterosexuals and 40 per cent of the total number infected, are aged between 20 and 29 years old.

Pastika Bali United against HIV:No Dolly sexworkers
Hal tersebut diungkapkan Gubernur Pastika pada acara malam renungan
AIDS nasional yang digelar di Pelataran Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali,
Minggu (20/7/2014).
Lebih jauh Pastika mengungkap, selain disumbang oleh tambahan kasus
baru, meningkatnya jumlah penderita juga disebabkan mulai optimalnya
proses penggalian 'gunung es' yang dilakukan instansi terkait dengan
dibantu penggiat HIV/AIDS.
Melihat data tersebut, Gubernur Pastika mengutarakan keprihatinan
atas perkembangan kasus HIV/AIDS. "Telah banyak korban berjatuhan.
Mereka mati sia-sia," ujarnya.
Menurut Pastika, banyaknya korban meninggal dipicu ketidaktahuan yang
bersangkutan bahwa mereka terinfeksi HIV. Untuk itu, dia mendorong
langkah lebih proaktif dalam penanggulangan serta pencegahan HIV/AIDS di
kalangan masyarakat.
Pemprov Bali, tambah Pastika, telah melakukan langkah variatif dalam
pencegahan penyakit ini. Bekerjasama dengan MUDP, Pemprov Bali berupaya
meminimalisir stigma negatif maupun diskriminasi masyarakat terhadap
ODHA (Orang Dengan HIV/AIDS).

Several discussions have concluded that the sluggishness of HIV/AIDS prevention in Bali was due to campaigns that were too focused on prostitutes. Many view a strategy of demand-reduction as a more effective solution, as those paying for sex held a greater power for spreading the disease.
Condom use among Bali-based prostitutes stands at just 40 percent.
Education is key to HIV prevention, not closing brothels
Medical experts and NGOs have announced that increasing awareness about the danger of HIV/AIDS among those working in red-light districts as sex workers is the best solution for preventing the spread of disease.
They were responding to the last month’s closure of the Dolly red-light district in Surabaya, East Java — the biggest such district in Indonesia and arguably the whole of Southeast Asia — by the local administration.
The Bali Health Agency has also aired plans to provide counseling and testing to expectant mothers.
Following the closure, Wirawan said that his commission’s office in East Java would collaborate with UNAIDS — the joint UN program on HIV and AIDS — to study where the sex workers leaving Dolly may go.
They will also study the number of sex workers who change jobs after the closure. “From the research, we will understand what to do here should they [displaced sex workers] end to Bali,” he said.
Medical practitioner Gusti Ngurah Pramesemara said the closure of Dolly would bring more negative impacts to society, especially related to health. “The efforts to educate [the people] and prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) will now be more difficult,” he said.
He explained that Bali had proven this to be the case when local authorities shut down brothels on the island only to see them resurface elsewhere, inhibiting HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. Pramesemara said the prostitution industry was complex and required special care.
NGO activists on the island said they faced difficulties in executing HIV/AIDS outreach efforts after the Tabanan administration shut down the red-light district at the Pesiapan bus terminal. The prostitutes who used to work there left and relocated to several remote villages.
