HIV/AIDS Education and Training
HIV/AIDS is a growing epidemic across Indonesia, including Bali. More and more people within the community are becoming vulnerable to HIV infection. The Bali Government HIV Commission reports that the number of people with HIV in Bali is rapidly increasing.

MBM is concerned about these alarming statistics and has been working with the community, the church and leaders to remove the stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS.

The community education provided by the division includes educating members of the church and community leaders on what HIV/AIDS is, why it is a growing concern in Bali and what steps can be taken to reduce the increasing number of cases of the disease. A special module has been created as an educational tool for all GKPB congregations and has been successful in creating awareness of the issue of HIV/AIDS. However, changing the attitudes towards HIV /AIDS is a challenge.

MBM works intensively to prevent HIV transmission from mother to the baby. The team routinely does data collecting and special assistance to pregnant mothers. MBM’s goal is that no baby would have HIV transmitted from his or her mother among MBM constituents and GKPB congregations. This program is also aimed at decreasing the maternal and infant mortality rate in Bali.

MBM also works with people living with HIV/AIDS to increase their quality of life, through appropriate care, support and treatment programs.

HIV/AIDS – Counselling and Testing Program.
As part of MBM’s work on HIV/AIDS, HIV Voluntary Counselling is offered to members of the community living with HIV.

MBM’s HIV Counseling is offered to individuals before people decide to undertake the HIV examination and then afterwards, depending on the result of the test.

Those people who commonly use the counseling include people who have had multiple sex partners, people who practice unsafe sex, needle-sharing drug users, people with a history of receiving blood transfusions, people with sexual transmitted infections, and those who already suffer from a pre-existing infection.

The benefits of pre-test counseling is to inform someone of the decision to perform the test or not, to support the individual for unrisky behavior toward HIV infection, and to prepare the individual emotionally if the result is positive. Information about HIV/AIDS, HIV transmission and risky behaviors is discussed with the individual. Then, an assessment is made by the counselor about whether the individual should undertake HIV testing.

Post results, whether positive or negative, MBM’s HIV counselor will work with the individual on how to prevent transmission and provide information about services available to people infected with HIV.

MBM’s Voluntary HIV Counseling program is part of MBM’s wider work that it does with the community about addressing the needs and education in the community.

Advocacy- Poverty Alleviation Project

The project team will be working with 10 local village leaders in Jembrana Regency and members of the community to address these aims.

Work with village leaders will be around a participatory leadership model of decision-making and how to better incorporate the views of the community when working on the village development policy.
Work with the local people is focused around providing economic support in the form of micro loans to families, providing vocational training, health education and services to those who need it.
