In conjunction with<br>\nWorld AIDS Day on Dec. 1, The Jakarta Post talked to two<br>\nresidents about the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Hendri Suhenda, 33, owns a drinks stall on Jl. Jend. Sudirman,<br>\nSouth Jakarta. He also works as an accountant with a private<br>\ncompany in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. He lives with his family<br>\nat Villa Melati Mas, Tangerang:<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what I would do if one of my family members<br>\ncontracted HIV\/AIDS. I can't imagine it happening in my family.<\/p>\n<p>However, I do know about it and how to deal with it<br>\ntheoretically. I know it can be transmitted through sexual<br>\nintercourse or through blood-to-blood contact with people who<br>\nhave HIV.<\/p>\n<p>I think the first thing I would do if this happened in my<br>\nfamily is to try not to be judgmental. This could be the hardest<br>\nthing to do as we all know how people get HIV.<\/p>\n<p>Ganjar, 22, is a psychology student at the University of<br>\nIndonesia. He is also a storyteller with the Mata Hati<br>\nstorytelling group in Bendungan Hilir, South Jakarta. He lives in<br>\nCileduk, Tangerang, with his family:<\/p>\n<p>I have no experience dealing with people who have HIV\/AIDS.<br>\nHowever, I am well-informed about it.<\/p>\n<p>There is no need for us to fear or shun people living with<br>\nHIV\/AIDS. There is no danger to us if we share the same glass or<br>\nfood with them. The virus is only transmittable through the<br>\nexchange of body liquids; primarily blood and semen.<\/p>\n<p>I think people living with HIV\/AIDS need at least one of their<br>\nfamily members to help them share the pain and burden of their<br>\nillness. Intimate family members can help speak for the sufferers<br>\nto ease the prejudice of others and prevent discrimination<br>\nagainst them.<\/p>\n<p>--The Jakarta Post<\/p>",
