Résumé
This study aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of people living with HIV (PLWH) during the COVID-19 pandemic and the pandemic's impact on their socioeconomic conditions, antiretroviral adherence, and worries. This cross-sectional study was conducted in May-August 2020 at the Integrated HIV Center of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Indonesia. The data were collected using an online questionnaire and an offline paper-based questionnaire. A total of 545 subjects participated in this study, 72.8% (397) of which were male. Most subjects were middle-aged (36-55 years old) (66.5%). Many subjects reported to have experienced reduced incomes (49.2%) or losses of income (22.4%), while 15.6% reported losing their job during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most subjects (97%) wished to continue treatment despite the many obstacles, and the subjects' knowledge about COVID-19 and its prevention was considerably good. More than 70% of subjects reported that they have been implementing the general precautions of the COVID-19 pandemic: maintaining distance, wearing a mask, washing hands, and avoiding crowds. This study provides an overview of what PLWH are experiencing, which will allow for policy-making that can help them continue their treatment with consideration of the possibility of having to live a "new normal" future.
