Background: The number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases is high and is constantly increasing. Homosexual men as a transmission niche is not only significant in terms of numbers, but also in natural aspects of anal sex, tropism of HIV-1, and high-risk behavior. Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) is important for accelerating diagnosis and management plan; yet the uptake on high-risk population in Indonesia is low. A behavior-reasoning theory, Health Belief Model (HBM), attempts to explain whether or not individuals engage in certain health behavior. This study tries to assess participation rate of VCT, to portray HBM variables perception, and to depict significance of HBM variables towards VCT uptake or VCT intention. Methods: This study was conducted in October-November 2014 using cross-sectional design; 127 respondents were gathered according to Respondent Driven Snowball Sampling. This study used an internet-based questionnaire derived from Champion’s 1984 mammogram HBM questionnaire. Privacy and compensation were obtained. The Chi square test and logistic regression of HBM variables were done. Results: The VCT uptake was low (15.7%). Certain sexual experience and commitment were significant (Commitment to Men p=0.027, Oral Sex experience with men p=0.001, Anal Sex Experience with men p=0.038). Chi Square test revealed significance on Perceived Susceptibility, Perceived Benefit, and Cues to Action. Conclusions: Uptake of VCT is considerably low compared with total high risk population and other similar studies. Personal Susceptibility to HIV/AIDS is recommended to be emphasized; while VCT Benefit and Cues to Action in young homosexual men communities are better encouraged.

Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease that attacks all warm-blooded animals and humans through bites. Rabies is responsible for more than 3.7 million peoples Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) annually. It is known that 95% of human deaths are from dog bites. Deaths due to rabies are common in rural areas because access to information tends to be minimal, so that people do not have knowledge about prevention of rabies. This study was designed to determine public’s perceptions of rabies and various possible rabies interventions. The research used a case control method with data collection using a questionnaire. The main concept of the Health Belief Model (HBM) was chosen because it has a function to predict individual beliefs. This individual beliefs will then influence the individual’s practice in carrying out rabies vaccination. In this study, it is known that the practice of rabies vaccination by the owner has a very significant relationship with knowledge related to rabies as a dangerous disease and individual beliefs that are reviewed through the HBM concept. Individual belief factors that have a significant relationship are severity and self efficacy variables. The results of this study can be a source of information and consideration for policy makers in Indonesia in making programs related to rabies prevention. Studies in the target area can provide knowledge about the characteristics of the population, so that the extension program can be conducted right on target and ultimately be able to reduce the overall incidence of rabies. Abstrak Rabies merupakan penyakit viral zoonotik yang menyerang semua hewan berdarah panas dan manusia melalui gigitan. Penyakit rabies bertanggung jawab atas lebih dari 3,7 juta Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALYs) setiap tahunnya. Diketahui bahwa 95% dari jumlah kematian manusia berasal dari gigitan anjing. Kematian akibat penyakit rabies lebih banyak terjadi di daerah perdesaan karena akses informasi cenderung minim, sehingga masyarakat tidak memiliki pengetahuan tentang pencegahanpencegahan terhadap penyakit rabies. Penelitian ini didesain untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat tentang penyakit rabies dan berbagai kemungkinan tindakan intervensi rabies. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kasus kontrol dengan metode pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner. Konsep utama Health Belief Model (HBM) dipilih karena memiliki fungsi untuk memprediksi keyakinan individu. Keyakinan individu ini kemudian akan memengaruhi praktik individu dalam melaksanakan vaksinasi rabies. Pada penelitian ini, diketahui bahwa praktik vaksinasi rabies oleh pemilik memiliki hubungan yang sangat signifikan dengan pengetahuan terkait rabies sebagai penyakit berbahaya dan keyakinan individu yang ditinjau melalui konsep HBM. Faktor keyakinan individu yang memiliki hubungan signifikan adalah variabel severity dan self efficacy. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi sumber informasi dan konsiderasi bagi pemangku kebijakan di Indonesia dalam membuat program-program terkait pencegahan penyakit rabies. Studi pada wilayah target, dapat memberikan pengetahuan karakteristik penduduk, sehingga program penyuluhan dapat tepat sasaran dan akhirnya mampu menurunkan angka kejadian penyakit rabies secara keseluruhan.
