The number of patients infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in Indonesia tends to increase every year. By 2017, there were at least 48,300 patients. The spread is found throughout all provinces in Indonesia.
East Java is the epicenter of HIV transmission. This is because the province has 8,204 infection cases, or 17% of national cases. Jakarta follows with 6,626 HIV infection cases, equivalent to 13.7% of the total cases. Conversely, the province with the smallest number of HIV transmissions is West Sulawesi. There were 37 recorded cases, or 0.1% of national cases.
The upward trend in transmission also occurred in patients who were eventually found to have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). In the same year, there were 9,280 AIDS patients nationally.
