Abstract

Background: Sex Workers (SWs) are a key population group at high risk for HIV/AIDS transmission. HIV/AIDS is a virus that attacks the immune system. To determine the status or diagnosis of HIV/AIDS and to receive treatment, individuals can visit VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) clinics. Objective: This study aims to understand the perceptions of SWs regarding the utilization of VCT clinics in Prabumulih City. Method: This research employs a Mixed Methods approach, with a cross-sectional and qualitative design using a pragmatic approach and ethnographic research. The sample for the quantitative data includes 187 SWs aged ≥ 18 years, selected through purposive sampling. The informants in this study included 10 individuals: 6 SWs, 1 Pimp, 1 NGO outreach worker for SWs, 1 HIV counselor, and 1 sub-coordinator from the Health Department of Prabumulih City. Results: The multivariate analysis showed a significant relationship with knowledge (p-value 0.003), perceptions of availability and accommodation (p-value 0.037), and perceptions of the ability to accept (p-value 0.001). The perception of the ability to accept was identified as the most dominant variable, with the greatest effect (PR value = 9.796) compared to other variables. SWs with a higher perception of the ability to accept were 9.796 times more likely not to utilize VCT clinics after controlling for knowledge, perceptions of proximity, availability and accommodation, and appropriateness. The qualitative analysis revealed two themes influencing the utilization of VCT clinics: HIV/AIDS knowledge and VCT clinics (definitions, symptoms, transmission methods, health promotion, HIV testing services, and HIV prevention), and perceptions of utilizing VCT clinics (proximity, acceptance ability, availability and accommodation, affordability, appropriateness, and efforts to utilize VCT services). Conclusion: The perception of the ability to accept is the dominant factor influencing the utilization of VCT clinics by SWs. In this case, socio-cultural factors influence the type of services received and the attention sought by SWs, including issues of equality (stigma and discrimination) when accessing services.
