Abstract
Background: HIV is still a world problem to this day. The program 95-95-95 that the WHO form (95% of people know their HIV status, 95% of people who know their HIV status get the therapy, and 95% of people who get the therapy had their viruses suppressed) to overcome the global HIV cases is still relatively low. In Indonesia, the program only runs about 81-41-19. This shows a low level of therapeutic success. ART accompanied by good adherence is an important factor in succeeding of controlling HIV. Several regions have different tendencies between patient profiles and the adherence of that patient. Objective: This study presents demographic data of patient profiles with good adherence at Universitas Airlangga Hospital in Surabaya, one of the cities with the most HIV in Indonesia. Method: This research is a retrospective study using secondary data from the HIV patient’s medical record taken at Universitas Airlangga Hospital, Surabaya. The study shows the distribution database on the patient profile (age, gender, marital status, educational status, employment, HIV staging, and treatment side effect) who underwent ART for at least a year adherently (adherence level of more than or equal to 95%). Result: Among the outpatient population, 107 patients met the sample criteria. Several factors showed a tendency to cluster within specific groups, including age (20–39 years), gender (male), educational level (high school), employment status (employed), HIV staging (stage 1 and stage 3), CD4 cell count (<500 cells/mm³), and the presence or absence of side effects, with a tendency toward patients who did not experience side effects. Additionally, marital status was more prevalent among married patients.
