WEST JAVA - "Aunty..where the mother, why not come home?" Once a piece of question a child in front of me to the aunt while hold a doll began shabby.
"Mother was assigned to teach neng.. Soon go home," said the aunt stumbling.
A simple dialog and perhaps an unusual question if posed in normal conditions, but if it hears know what happened exactly, was slicing liver. A six-year child should not bear a burden that is never asked, he was just a victim.
Has just passed the 40 days, the mother facing the God in hospital bed at southern province of Ciamis. He was strong against the disease last four months. Her body finally succumbed to the disease Tubercolosis (TB) who had chronic having previously suffered from severe diarrhea, the impact of Opportunistic Infections (OIs) AIDS or congenital disease that is not known. The father had first passed away to the Creator, also with the same cause.
Now the child was already diagnosed with HIV positiv and also suffer from TB, fortunately little joy ala children were still surrounded. He was still able to move like other normal children, although there is a tinge of a question mark on his face.
But the ballad of the child has not been completed. A fact that is not supposed to run, inevitably have lived. Antiretroviral therapy (ARV), which will soon invite lived sad. This six year child should consume drugs regularly, twice a day in her life. He had to fight back with a bitter taste and the amount of this drug form. HIV-AIDS adult are many who feel bored and lazy, especially six years children. Temporary solution only with the help erode the drug that is no longer in great shape. But for bitterness, still can not be eliminated.
"I do not have the heart.. It used to be that one person had drugs, I pity see it. Must take medication every day, "said the aunt with a sigh.
The children suffering is no longer just be a great homework for the country, but it should be categorized as urgent needs. Remember, children with HIV-AIDS are victims who do not ask, do not even know at all if they have been residing in the body of the virus since coming out of the mother's womb. They are actually not worth having to endure again the bitterness and difficulty in taking medication that had to take a lifetime.
Data from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) RI noted that HIV in children aged 0-4 years up to March 2014 continues to increase. In 2013 recorded 759 people, an increase of 110 people from the amount of 649 patients in 2012. Similarly, in children aged 5-14 years. Increased from 247 patients in 2012 to 316 in 2013, and until March 2014 has grown to 48 people with a total of 295 patients.
But the increasing number of patients is not offset by sufficient number of pharmaceutical partners with the government of Indonesia in the procurement of ARVs for children in the form of syrup and pediatric ARV, namely ARV single dose of the combination of three drugs (stavudine, lamivudine, nevirapine) is used as a tablet making it easier for children in consume. Several Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam have managed to provide pediatric ARVs in tablet form and syrup dissolves easily.
So no one if the activists, activists and companion of PLWHA (people living with HIV-AIDS) continuously urged the government to act quickly to procure ARVs for children in the form of a syrup or a minimum of pediatric ARVs in tablet form soluble.
As voiced in Congress HIV-AIDS in West Java 4th newly, in addition to urging the Indonesian government immediately produce ARVs in the country, the availability of ARV syrup for children with HIV-AIDS were also asked to note.
Remember, if the fate of children will end up just like that result again we as adults neglect their fundamental rights to live on this earth. After he transmitted the virus is no cure, and the only hope of life through antiretroviral easily consumed for children was still ignored its existence. The stability of the availability of ARV child is a fixed price, whoever the leader of this country.
