Abstract

Abstract—Pharmacists’ involvement in the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired-immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) prevention and management program has been globaly advocated. However, there is currently a lack of information on whether pharmacists’ roles in the program have been clearly articulated in the national policy records in countries with high score on power distance and collectivism such as Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the roles of pharmacists in the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS in Indonesia using a systematic review method. We systematically searched for relevant studies in three large medical databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, and PubMed) and for gray literature in both the Indonesian Pharmacist Association and the Ministry of Health websites, and the national regulation database. Only two studies gave a glimpse of pharmacists’ role in the prevention and management of patients with HIV/AIDS. However, activities conducted by pharmacists in each of these roles were not specifically described. We found no official national policies mentioned the role of pharmacists in the HIV/AIDS prevention and management. Since the practice of pharmacists is closely related to medications, including antiretroviral drugs, more research is needed to explore the role of pharmacists in the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS in real-world context in Indonesia.
