Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are one of the biggest health problems in the 21st century to date. HIV/AIDS cases continue to soar, one of which is due to the practice of prostitution because commercial sex workers (CSW) are a group at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. Dolly, the largest localization at Surabaya has already been closed by the government to decrease the transmisiion of HIV. The research method is based on laboratory examination using the Rapid Test Immunochromatography method with the subject of examination being women who live around Dolly localization. This method has the advantages of fast inspection time (only around 15-30 minutes), is easy to do, does not use special tools, and is quite sensitive. The number of women who were HIV positive was 1.4%, and the number who were HIV negative was 98.6%. The association between the risk variables for CSWs and HIV status was then determined using the Spearman correlation test. Statistical analyses revealed a significant relationship between CSW status and HIV prevalence with a significance value of 0.05 (p=0.025; CI=95%). Since the correlation coefficient is positive, a rise in CSWs' active status can also lead to an increase in HIV prevalence.
