Abstract

ABSTRACT Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) clinics play a critical role in HIV/AIDS control by providing counseling, early detection, and referral for treatment services. Understanding the characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients who access VCT services is essential to identify at-risk populations. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients attending a VCT clinic in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. This study employed a retrospective descriptive design using medical records of all HIV/AIDS patients who visited the VCT clinic at Dr. R. Soedjono Selong Regional General Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. The variables included age, sex, occupation, referral source, and risk factors. Descriptive data analysis was conducted using Jamovi software. A total of 157 HIV/AIDS patients accessed VCT services during the 2023–2024 period, with 75 patients recorded in 2023 and 82 in 2024. The majority were male (77%), aged 31–40 years (38%), unmarried (59%), self-employed (73%), and men who have sex with men (MSM) (55%). Most patients were referred from primary health centers (69%). Between 2023 and 2024, the proportion of unmarried patients increased from 38.7% to 43.9%, MSM from 49% to 60%, and hospital referrals decreased from 21% to 3%. The proportion of self-employed patients declined from 81.3% to 65.9%. New occupational categories emerged in 2024, including teachers (4%) and students (5%). The majority of HIV/AIDS patients attending the VCT clinic at Dr. R. Soedjono Selong Hospital were males of productive age with high-risk behaviors. These findings highlight the need to strengthen early detection and targeted education, particularly among high-risk groups. Keywords: Characteristics, HIV/AIDS, VCT Clinic, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province.  ABSTRAK Klinik Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) berperan penting dalam upaya penanggulangan HIV/AIDS dengan menyediakan layanan konseling, deteksi dini, dan rujukan pengobatan.

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…
