Latar Belakang: Masalah infeksi HIV meningkat berkaitan dengan perilaku seks tidak aman dan penggunaan NAPZA suntik. Estimasi jumlah kasus HIV/AIDS di Indonesia sekitar 90.000 sampai 130.000. Sejak 1 Desember 2003 WHO mencanangkan program 3 by 5 dengan tujuan akses terapi untuk semua dan sejak 1 September 2004 pemerintah menyediakan ARV secara cuma-cuma. Dalam mengakses terapi ARV, konseling dan tes HIV sukarela (Voluntary Counseling and Testing atau VCT) merupakan jalur yang esensial dan layanan di Puskesmas diharapkan menjadi tulang punggung pelayanan. Adanya akses ARV ini diharapkan meningkatkan VCT.
Tujuan. Mengetahui jumlah layanan VCT, tes CD4 dan penggunaan ARV di Puskesmas Kampung Bali pasca kebijakan ARV cuma-cuma, karakteristik serta alasan-alasan yang dapat menghambat VCT selain biaya obat.
Metodologi. Dilakukan pengamatan pelayanan program VCT, tes CD4 dan akses ARV dalam 5 bulan pertama pasca kebijakan serta pencatatan data sekunder sebelum kebijakan. Seluruh yang telah melakukan VCT di Puskesmas Kampung Bali dan 100 orang berisiko tinggi berusia > 15 tahun yang belum VCT dipilih dengan sistem cluster dan dilakukan wawancara terpimpin Penelitian dilakukan sejak November 2004 - Maret 2005.
Hasil. Dalam 8 bulan sebelum kebijakan, jumlah VCT sebanyak 18 orang,dalam 5 bulan pasca kebijakan jumlah VCT sebanyak 27 orang. Tampak adanya peningkatan pada penggunaan ARV. Mayoritas responden adalah laki-laki berusia 20-30 tahun, berpendidi3ran menengah, bekerja tidak tetap dan berpenghasilan rendah. Pada 100 responden yang belurn VCT 64% memiliki tingkat pengetahuan sedang, 89% masih aktif suntik dan 34% berperilaku seksual tidak aman. Alasan tidak VCT karena merasa sehat, takut diketahui HIV dan rahasia tidak terjamin. Pada 13 responden yang VCT, 12 orang memiliki tingkat pengetahun sedang, 7 orang masifi aktif suntik dan 10 orang berperilaku seks tidak aman. Alasan VCT terutama karena merasa berisiko dan adanya rasa ingin tahu.
Simpulan. VCT pada 8 bulan sebelum dan 5 bulan sesudah kebijakan masing-masing adalah 18 dan 27 orang. Penggunaan ARV tampak ada peningkatan. Mayoritas responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang cukup namun masih aktif suntik dan berperilaku seks tidak aman. Kurangnya kesadaran dan motivasi serta kekhawatiran akan dampak sosial HIV/AIDS menghambat pemanfaatan layanan VCT.
