| description | The number of women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Indonesia, especially Papua, is increasing yearly, along with the increasing number of men who transmit HIV to their partners. WLHIV are susceptible to opportunistic infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. This study, aiming to identify the characteristics and opportunistic infections among WLHIV in Manokwari Regency, West Papua, was descriptive with a cross-sectional study design involving 70 WLHIV who routinely received antiretroviral treatment at the VCT of RSUD Manokwari as respondent. Data on demographic and clinical variables were obtained through interviews using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed by fisher exact tests to measure the association of opportunistic infections with demographic and clinical variables. The results showed that the demographic characteristics of WLHIV: aged18-35 years (47.1%), high school education (42.9%), private employment (47.1%), married (65.7%), ethnic Papuan (65.7%), and heterosexual risk factor (97.1%). Meanwhile, their clinical characteristics were clinical stage III (62.9%), CD4+ ≥350 cell/mm3 (62,9%), detectable viral load (55,7%), and underweight (38.6%). The most opportunistic infections among them were pulmonary tuberculosis (58.6%). The clinical stage of HIV and CD4+ cells was significantly associated with opportunistic infections among WLHIV. For these reasons, it is necessary to intervene by applying antiretroviral administration strategies and specific antimicrobial therapy. |
