Four HIV/AIDS Cases Were Found in YADA Center WTC
Serpong
The subtly-yet-ever-increasing rise of the number of HIV/AIDS infected people
in Indonesia can be monitored from data we gathered from our counselees at
Youth Against Drug Abuse (YADA) Center in WTC Serpong, Tangerang. Out of the
262 people who voluntarily attended YADA Center's counseling sessions in the
period of February - April 2008, we found four people who are infected by
HIV/AIDS, with one fatality among them. We also found 107 drug related cases
and 17 STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) cases.
If we classify these cases by age groups, then we would find that 50% of these
counselees (131 cases) fall within the age range of 15-18 years old. Another
29% (75 cases) were people from the age range of 19-24 years old. The
Counseling Corner in YADA Center WTC Tangerang provides daily counseling
sessions (except on Friday) from 14:00 to 18:00. YADA Center WTC Serpong has
proved itself as one of YCAB's most active center; shown through the progress
it has made with its drugs prevention campaign and counseling programs.
