factors and information sources: A

Description

Background: The well-being of people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains a concern.
In addition to facing discrimination in their communities, many PLHIV have family
members who have a discriminatory attitude. This study analyzes the discriminatory
attitude toward PLHIV in the family context using socio-economic factors and
information sources in Indonesia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was adopted using secondary data from the
2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS). A total sample of 28,879
respondents was selected using two-stage stratified cluster sampling. The study
variables are information sources, sex, age, education, residence, earnings, and
familial discriminatory attitude. We used the STATA 16.1 software to analyze
Chi-square and binary logistics with a 95% confident interval (CI) with a significance
of 5% (p-value < 0.05).
Results: In Indonesia, familial discriminatory attitude has a prevalence of 72.10%.
In the survey, the respondents with access to some information about HIV (AOR:
0.794; 95% CI [0.722–0.873]), women (AOR: 0.768; 95% CI [0.718–0.820]), and those
living in rural areas (AOR: 0.880; 95% CI [0.834–0.929]) were the least likely to have
a familial discriminatory attitude. Meanwhile, the respondents aged 15–24 years

(AOR: 1.329; 95% CI [1.118–1.581]) and those with a secondary level of education
(AOR: 1.070; 95% CI [1.004–1.142]) were the most likely to have a familial
discriminatory attitude.
Conclusion.: In the study, we found that, the younger the age and the lower the
educational level of the respondent, the more likely they were to have a familial
discriminatory attitude. The government may consider these factors when designing
policies to tackle familial discrimination faced by PLHIV; in particular, education
