title: Indonesia -- notification, reporting and disclosure.
abstract: The prevalence of HIV infection in Indonesia is generally held to be low.  Since the first case was officially identified in 1987, only 1146 people have been diagnosed with HIV, 293 of them reported as having AIDS.  The latest estimate from WHO (June 1999) is that 250,000 Indonesians are infected, giving a prevalence among this 200+ million population of around 120/100,000 population.  This figure is generally agreed to be in the correct range--for sexual transmission of the virus.  It is probable, however, that the total figure may be several times higher as a result of the sudden explosion of injecting drug use, with no surveillance and little outreach yet having been undertaken among this group.
