Abstract

Background: In 2013, East Jakarta was the area in Jakarta province with the highest HIV cases. However, it is not followed by the awareness for having an HIV testing, especially pregnant women. Objective: to describe the experience of pregnant women in having an HIV test at a community health center (CHC). Methods: Descriptive narrative was used in this study. In-depth interviews about the women’ experiences in having HIV test were conducted with 10 pregnant women at the CHC. Interviews were conducted on 2017 and recorded using a digital voice recorder. Data were analyzed using content analysis method and validated with health care provider (HCP) and observation. Results: Three themes emerged: obedient to the health care providers’ recommendations, HIV testing as part of a pregnant woman's health test, lack of knowledge about HIV testing. All women agreed to have an HIV test, however they still had limited knowledge about HIV test and the right to have an HIV test. Conclusion: Pregnant women have an HIV test based on HCP’s recommendation. Providing more information about test HIV and private room at the CHC and having more health education in the community is needed to increase pregnant women’s understanding about HIV test.
