HIV / AIDS : A CONSEQUENCE OF CONDUCT

                                                       By: Dewi Linggasari *

H IV / AIDS as an accumulation of highly complex life issues are the worst consequences, especially from unhealthy sexual behaviour, ie with multiple partners. The use of non-sterile drug needles, from mother to the baby as well as other unforeseen consequences, such as accidents. Efforts have been made treatment for patients with more than three decades, but only ARVs could prevent HIV so as not to deteriorate into AIDS. Death was due to continued most worrying, given how precious life actually. There are too many things to do human in the work, for yourself, others, and the Creator. The adage says ' elephant ivory dead leaves, dead man leave his name '. What name can be left out and be remembered, of a person who passed away, due to AIDS? During the life of people with HIV / AIDS are not even able to help themselves. Papua as the provinces with the case of HIV / AIDS when compared with the total population is a serious problem that can not be ignored. Survival becomes the priority of the entire program to be implemented because life is the most basic human issues for each individual. However, there are categories of society who do not know or do not want to know the dangers of HIV, then intentionally or unintentionally transmit to the closest. Mothers as a passive group that can be infected with HIV / AIDS is the first party that can be a victim, because of unhealthy sexual behaviour with multiple partners of the husband. A husband who has a habit of changing partners outside the marriage bond without the use of a condom is a terrifying threat of an innocent wife. So a family can die one by one, because HIV to the family residence in question became a no man's empty. Unhealthy sexual behaviour with multiple partners, is an attitude that has been conditioned since an individual to grow into an adult and realize the importance of relationships with the opposite sex. A person who has been accustomed to having multiple sexual partners since the age of adolescence - before coming wedding day, has had an institutionalized idea that promiscuity is not an error, even into a sensational thing. Family as the immediate environment and then the environment never gave sense and warning, that sexual relations outside of marriage, especially multiple partners is a mistake. Institution of marriage has been established and held the function in order to legalize the marriage relationship. However, a thesis will inevitably lead to antithesis, as has been legally established institutions to legitimize a marriage, it will display an attitude to oppose the presence of the said institution. Localization and nightspots is the official forum of the antithesis. In second place was a sexual relationship outside the marriage took place without limits and time. PSK remains as a high-risk group that can transmit HIV / AIDS, as a prostitute in a day can be more than a touch different customers, as well as on the day, week, month, and next year. The number of guests has always been transformed and countless. The customers who are reluctant to use condoms, for reasons sensational, consciously or unconsciously has the potential to spread HIV to the people around him, especially to his wife and children. While infidelity relationships with women who are not prostitutes no less danger in conjunction with the PSK itself. Not a single country in the world that is able to clean the territory of the existence of prostitution. There is a state or a state with the highest income have of entertainment venues - prostitution, including gambling and liquor distribution. In countries that have advanced once prostitution is still manifest themselves in a variety of versions. However, in the said State, or in areas that have grown rapidly HIV / AIDS is not a threat. Human mentality fairly or very high in the behaviour causing the promiscuity prostitutes that service users are not willing to bear the risk of HIV infection. Condoms required in localization to prevent the spread of HIV / AIDS. While women have achieved a position called gender equality. The independence of the ability to be responsible for himself and the children were conceived and then born. When the worst things happen in a marriage, with the husband's cooperation can no longer be expected in an effort grow up children, women referred to has been able to cope as well as solutions to the toughest things in life. That children as the next generation remains a guaranteed life to bring it safely into the future. Papua is extremely complex issues, too difficult to disentangle one after another for a solution, but a way out must be taken. The spread of HIV / AIDS-related to reproductive health education as early as possible, maturation age of marriage, STDs, domestic violence and regional leadership. That after over two decades the highest prevalence of HIV / AIDS in Papua, no doubt about it. The situation of the HIV epidemic in Papua Danaids until March 31, 2013 was, 5,363 HIV cases, 8,011 AIDS cases, the number of 13 374 cases, 1,076 dead soul
Figures above as well as a threat and a warning, that the hard work is consistently of all walks of life needed to stop the spread of HIV in this region. Merauke through hard work managed to suppress the spread of HIV to the lowest rate, but the threat of HIV in Papua remains worrisome. Hard work across sectors in order to instil healthy reproduction as early as possible, maturation age of marriage, anti-violence in the household, the dangers of STIs and HIV / AIDS, and condom negotiation is a suite of programs that can not be separated from one another by the spread of this deadly virus. The family is the immediate environment potentially build an individual character as early as possible, so that the individual concerned will not be dragged in unhealthy sexual behaviour before and after the wedding occurred. The following is a layered environment that can provide moral education for every individual who becomes an essential part in it. Family of a child shall be directed to the next neighbourhood, a layer that is able to teach the moral life as well as concentration, so the busyness and ideals can divert individuals from spreading HIV risk behaviour. Condoms are the technical solutions without promoting the moral, but still plays a role in the context of the spread of this deadly disease. Eventually everything die to self every person, whether a person wants to have a long life and do everything possible to achieve the said age? Or, for one reason or another individual figure to be apathetic to the danger and potentially accelerate the coming of death. That HIV / AIDS can not be cured, to this day remains an absolute problem. Prevention efforts inherent in the socialization of the individual concerned against mental education is directly related to the reproductive system healthy. HIV / AIDS is not a disease that can be treated clinically, as consequence
of unhealthy sexual behaviour, these deadly threats can only be prevented .

L U M B E R .....

- the black night, in the cold dewy eternal,
go to sleep ....

also water pond has overflowed into the lake
as ocean waves crashing
if able to say
but the tip of the tongue a dagger blades
the mute can not say anymore
long time to pack away
choking the train rumble
crushed under the wheels
: there is still awaited?
path we have taken together
will soon be divorced at the intersection 

last week in week out
will fall in yearning song
one thousand days 

the birds do not want to fly again
but still able to blow my rainbow
on ten thousand dreams
when dusk staggered in the dark
the stars fly running
glow in the dim mist
chasing the moon

- go to sleep ....

C O N C E R N E D


: There is worry in your heart my dear?


let go he asks again

everything he ever gave

any time keeps slipping

life ball bath

the boisterous zig-zag

along the way

just you and I will

be us

then either ....

- not day by day

always severed pause

dew will never be eternal

crystallized in clear glass window

instant reflect the

whole is now gone

"Let us desist ...."

let the breeze

blowing faster and faster

rekindle the embers

the choke before outages

it reflects the flames flashed the shadow

moving away

then lost





Agats - Asmat, August 2013

WATER SWIMMING

a pair of bright eyes

clear pool water

rippling in the cold wind whistling in August

: my shadow collapsed sink

but the depth was as scary

with loss

- is not it time the gate has been shut?

I picked flower petals can still

the yield scattered around the yard

then a voice whispered

"Will you repeat mistakes

after bitterly that must be swallowed? "

then pouring time

like water dripping, due to gravity

we still look at each other and say

on a map

before arriving late story

PASSER BAROE JAKARTA --Shopping Homely--

By: Dewi Linggasari 





Really feels homely atmosphere when entering the footsteps Passer Baroe gate area, not far from the shopping center, glistening towering Monas. Passer Baroe located in the heart of the city, the New Market Village, District Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta. Dusk light that bounced off the yellow glass shops, slowly fading in the color purple. The bustle of the traders and shoppers continue, pulsing lifeblood tub. The fruit sellers hawking merchandise with friendly carts, apple, orange, longan, bark according to the date of the season. "Come, let's ... fresh fruits". Street vendors offer a variety of crafts, clothes, handbags, shoes, and supplies everyday. Along the way visitors move with a relaxing evening enjoying the moment will soon turn dark. While the Ciliwung River still flowed in silence like that has happened hundreds of years ago.

On the two sides of the road Jalan Pasar Baru is a row of clothing shops, textile shops, tailor shop, sporting goods store, shoes, sunglasses, and gold shops. Eye view of what is really spoiled, 'what is needed and could quickly be obtained?' I visited a store filled with various kinds of textile fabrics of different colors, the waiters are friendly welcomed. "How much fabric for a paris lace kebaya? 'I asked.
"Five hundred thousand dollars," replied the waitress.
"How much for sewing? 'I asked.
"Sorry, we can not sew kebaya, but I can drop off in front of the shop there", I also had to follow the waiter took it to the designated textile.
"Good afternoon, could you please sew kebaya?"
"Can".
"How much sewing?"
"One and a half million with the buster," the clerk replied.
"It could be finished in one week?"
"Let me call handyman measuring", the clerk flashed into the room before finally returning with an expert in measuring clothing. On the wall a picture of a cashier tertampang Indian man in traditional dress, apparently he is the owner of the store.

Kebaya was completed in a week with very subtle buster that will be difficult to be made by a regular tailor. Besides kebaya, textile shops can also sew jazz suits, safari, office uniforms, and various models of clothes that customers require. The price of each dress to taste a variety of buyers with a variety of alternatives that exist. Textile stores with presence in it tailor facilitate buyers in getting the required variety of fashions. While home eating cheap fast food and convenience in shopping centers complement this, so that visitors can berisantai while enjoying a meal option. Seller salad, cotton candy, traditional foods, and snacks less exciting in offering merchandise, then be complete activity in the shopping center.

The flurry continued to remain on the Road Between, at the south end of the Market Baroe. To the right of one-way streets, there are hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, Indomart and old buildings that leave an impression. Freely along the pavement passing under a shady tree-Pohan and banyan roots hanging. Guests staying at the hotel can freely Road Between go shopping on foot to get all the necessary stuff.
Morning, relatively quiet atmosphere Baroe Market, just looked newspaper hawkers, vendors of fresh fruits, and a flurry of activity in the rest of the night. While the rising sun, life on this market slowly rose, the doors began to open stores, street vendors wares along the way. Atmosphere is getting increasingly crowded afternoon, visitors grew dense, more dense in the afternoon. Activity in this market reached its peak at night, blinding fluorescent mercury lamps, the roar of the vehicle, the hustle and bustle of the transaction, also laughing joke of all visitors, the streets being so crowded, so visitors have to tread carefully. Reflexology provides services for visitors fatigue, ATMs of various banks stood at almost every corner, visitors do not have to worry about running out of cash. Passer Baroe than a shopping center, but a place of exciting tourist destination.

This kind of atmosphere started since 193 years ago, precisely in 1820 when Batavia Government building Passer Baroe as economic sites. Dutch people who settled in Rijswijk - now Jl. Veterans - start shopping routines in place. The shops in Passer Baroe built with Chinese and European architectural styles. In this market are the people India - Indonesia hawking fabrics, sports equipment, and footwear to date. Kimia Farma Pharmacy, Lee Ie Seng shop, home furnishings store Bed, store hours Tjung-Tjung, and optician Seis - Tjun Lie - survive from earlier times to the present. Similarly Isardas tailor suits, Hariom, and Gehimal, tailors still exist to this day.

The market atmosphere Baroe be more specific on the Jakarta Anniversary celebrations which falls in June. This month Passer Baroe Festival held by exhibiting a variety of typical local products such as the culinary capital of the Betawi culture, and Chinese culture. In the midst of the capital city with a traffic jam every day to spend time shopping Passer Baroe a special moment when human beings take the further step advancement era with a variety of luxury mall as a shopping center. There is an ancient and old to life in Passer Baroe, when I stepped foot into this place, as if visitors were also reveals the history of a life that began to be recorded since 193 years ago.
