Indonesia’s first PrEP pilot launched in Jakarta and Greater Jakarta with a simple goal: protect key populations from HIV through a proven prevention tool.

As the focal-point coordinator, I helped lead:

  • provider training and clinical mentoring
  • development of national job aids and technical modules
  • data tools for adherence, follow-up, and AE reporting
  • partnerships with MoH, WHO, UNAIDS, and UNPAD

PrEP’s future in Indonesia depends on integration, provider readiness, and consistent monitoring. Here I share the practical implementation insights from the pilot.
