Until now, funding is still depending on foreign aid, about 70% of prevention funds from overseas, and it has bad effects. “We put ourselves in a position of high dependence on donors. We know that this aid can be stopped at any time due to various reasons, Therefore, it is time for Indonesia to begin reducing dependence by increasing funds from domestic sources, including increasing the role of community and business world.
Development of AIDS Epidemic in Indonesia
Since 1985 until the year 1996, AIDS cases in Indonesia are still very rare mainly derived from homosexual groups. Since mid-1999 began to look sharp increase mainly due to transmission through injecting narcotics. Up to March 2005 recorded 6789 cases of HIV / AIDS. The number is expected to not show the actual figure. Department of Health in 2002 estimated the number of Indonesian people who are infected with HIV are between 90 000 to 130 000 people. Recent estimates the number of HIV infected more than 500,000 people.
Existing data indicate the conclusion that the epidemic of HIV / AIDS in Indonesia are already in advanced stages. Transmission occurs through a variety of ways, either through homosexual relations, heterosexual, injecting drug users, transfusion of blood components, up to and from an infected mother to infant birth. HIV / AIDS infections have also been informed of all classes of society, both high-risk groups and general public. If at first, most people with HIV come from the homosexual group has now been a shift where the rate of transmission is heterosexual and drug users is increasing.

Clean Hands to Avoid The Flu
Every year when we tend to shut ourselves cold starts again, it is logical and in our house where we who determine the rules of hygiene that should not be any problem. Nothing nicer than an afternoon of cold to stay at home watching a DVD! But most of us can not be all year hibernating in the house: We have to go to work.
What happens when we are locked up for hours with several people in the same office? Virus! All shapes and colors, each partner and yourself and we bring all the bacteria. And when a colleague is sick (and not a must) try not to be very close to it (make it uglier than that: it is wrong), is a good preventive measure to take care of our health.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom that occurs quite frequently in the population. It is, in fact, one of the reasons for consulting primary care physician more frequently. In many cases, appears in the so-called epidemics or “pass.” We speak of an epidemic when the number of patients with symptoms of gastroenteritis (or any other disease in which presupposes an infectious cause) is higher than by chance to hit. To understand this term, perhaps the most illustrative is the epidemic of influenza: Few if any cases during the year except the month, or month and a half in which it appears (approximately December to February). And during that time, a high percentage of the population is affected.
In the case of diarrhea, these epidemics or raisins, which used to be in the hot summer months, more and more frequently we see out of them. The reason is the mildness of our climate and, of course, global warming, which now makes for more months, we benefit from a temperature typical of summer months. By itself, diarrhea continues to be a symptom rather nonspecific, in that it may be a reflection of many pathologies, from very different backgrounds. However, nature is wise, and protective, in the sense that the vast majority of cases of diarrhea seen in health centers have a viral origin, and therefore quite benign.
