This is the good question I^ve read to this forum.
Vani, you know that the subjects of my study are in a specific category, those who
are already receiving controlled antiretroviral therapy.
The key is ^controlled therapy^. this means that my subjects must have
guaranteed continuity in taking the drug.
I think six months is the minimum standard to guarantee that qualification.
Why six months, not three or nine months. Actually, you can argue with this.
However, six months is the time determined by the facilitator in the hospital to
evaluate the progress of therapy.
What is the exact prevalence of HIV and AIDS in Indonesia according to the latest data.
How the magnitude of the problem in Indonesia is compared to other ASEAN countries

First, we should use the data released by the national health ministry. That by
mid-2020, their number would reach 543,075 people.

Further, my concern about this issue stems from the global fact (beyond of
ASEAN), that only 61.5% of them had accessed antiretroviral therapy. The
accessibility of antiretrovirals therapy in Indonesia was higher than the global data,
amounted to 69.8% from 349,822. However, it is only a-third population who
undergo controlled-therapy.
See: UNAIDS, ^Global HIV & AIDS Statistics - July 2018 Fact Sheet^, 2018
This is what then made me suspicious, and wanted to explore the affective things
behind people who routinely undergo therapy. The implication, this finding could
be a reference to empower those who are bored, or get off the path of adherence
to therapy.
