TEGAL - Volunteers of the second largest Muslim movement in Indonesia, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) handed out hundreds of condoms in a number of prostitution zones along the northern highway near the city of Tegal in Central Java. The volunteers also handed out leaflets with information about the dangers of HIV/AIDS at several points of the national highway.
The head of the regional department of NU, Nurkhasanah, said that some 500 boxes of condoms were handed out to 'commercial sex workers' (prostitutes) and truck drivers. "Our targets ware those who are most likely to be infected with HIV/AIDS," he said. According to information he had, some 68 people were recorded to be infected with HIV/AIDS in Tegal between 2003 and 2009, but that number is most likely just the very tip of the iceberg.
The posters and leaflets were handed out at several strategic points like traditional massage salons, gas stations and the Maribaya truck stop in Kramat. Those areas are frequented by people that have most chance of being infected with HIV/AIDS because of sexual activities in those areas. "Maribaya for example is a known place for prostitution," he said.
