Abstract

BACKGROUND : Outreach of pregnant women in the use of HIV testing is the target of prioritized HIV / AIDS prevention programs. Outreach of VCT services requires community social involvement in participating in efforts to detect early the spread of HIV / AIDS in their respective regions. The Banyumas District Government issued a policy of Citizens of AIDS Care to strengthen outreach and mentoring pregnant women in preventing HIV / AIDS transmission from mother to baby in rural areas of Banyumas District.

AIM :The aim of the study is to describe the implementation of outreach and mentoring programs for pregnant women in the prevention of HIV / AIDS transmission from mother to baby in the rural areas of Banyumas Regency.

METHODS: This study uses qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach. Research instruments use in-depth interviews. Research informants include, among others, AIDS care citizens, village midwives, village heads, community leaders, health cadres and pregnant women.

RESULTS: The results showed that the implementation of outreach and mentoring programs for pregnant women in the prevention of HIV / AIDS transmission from mother to baby in rural areas of Banyumas District went well. The factors that drive the success of the program are the understanding of program implementers about the contents of the policy, individual communication methods carried out on pregnant women through prenatal checkups, counseling and classes of pregnant women as well as adequate communication intensity. Positive willingness and desire, as well as commitment from stakeholders at the village level to the program, clear Standard Operating Procedures on HIV / AIDS checks on pregnant women, as well as positive responses and adherence to pregnant women in the use of the program.

CONCLUSIONS :The empowerment of the Caring AIDS Community's bureaucratic structure is not optimal in the program, even in some villages the organization has not been established as the main implementer of the program other than the village midwife.
