Abstract

Abstract: HIV/AIDS is a health problem that is threatening the world, including Indonesia. Manado has a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in North Sulawesi with numbers of cases of 101 patients with HIV and 212 patients with AIDS in 2011. According to the group transmission, transvestites belong to the second rank of high risk group spreaders of HIV/AIDS due to the transvestites sex life impact. This was an observational analytical study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using the purposive sampling technique. We used questionnaire to be filled by 60 transvestites and a qualitative study on 2 transvestites to obtain more accurate data. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. The Mann-Whitney statistical test showed that there was a significant difference of knowledge between Transvestites Commercial Sex Workers and Transvestites Non-Commercial Sex Workers (p <0.05). The significant value was due to the difference of attitudes between Transvestite Commercial Sex Workers and Transvestite Non-Commercial Sex Workers (p <0.05).
Keywords: knowledge, attitude, HIV/AIDS, transvestite commercial sex worker, transvestite non-commercial sex worker
