AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a syndrome caused destructs immune system by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Due to the loss of immunity of AIDS infected easily various types of bacterial infections, fungi, parasites, and viruses that are opportunistic. HIV infection at this time does not only attack those who behave sexually deviant, but this virus can be transmitted to anybody, including the "good" with a variety of roads so that relief "fear" and restlessness in the community.
HIV / AIDS is a major problem that threatens Indonesia and many countries around the world. UNAIDS, WHO bodies take the AIDS problem, estimate the number of ODHA (People With HIV / AIDS) in the world in December 2004 is 35,9-44,3 million people. There are currently no country free from HIV / AIDS. HIV / AIDS crisis caused many at the same time, the health crisis, the crisis of development countries, economic crisis, education, and humanitarian crisis. In other words, HIV / AIDS, the multidimensional crisis. As a health crisis, AIDS require a response from the community and requires care and treatment services for individuals who infected HIV.

AIDS was first recognized in Los Angeles and New York in 1981 with the outbreak: Pneumocystis pneumonia Carinii (PPC) and sarcoma Kaposi on young people in a previous healthy state. (Rikyanto, 2006)
AIDS in 1983 occurred in the United States and in Africa is different in the case of the victim (patient) and the distribution pattern of the virus causes. So at that time the term AIDS arise West (Western AIDS) and AIDS, Africa (African AIDS). (Rikyanto, 2006)
In Asian countries such as India, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines also began to show the existence of HIV / AIDS in the amount of light. Thailand, the first find of AIDS in the country at the end of 1984, shows a very large bump in the number of AIDS were reported sufferer amounted to 1389 people and HIV in 1658, so that the whole of 3047. (Rikyanto, 2006)
In Indonesia, people with AIDS that was first found in 1987 in Bali, a Dutch tourist who fell ill and later died of. After the first of these installments are reported in a number of people with AIDS and HIV. According to Dep. Kes. RI, until the year 1993, amounted to 130 HIV and 42 AIDS patients, so that the whole amount is 172 people. This amount, when compared with that found in other countries in Asia such as Thailand, are still very small. (Rikyanto, 2006)
According to estimates by experts, in Indonesia, in the case of the number of HIV was noted that 172 people as mentioned above, the actual amount is in the community is 100 times more; to be 17,200 people. (Rikyanto, 2006)
Indonesia already entered the decade to 2 HIV / AIDS epidemic, but until now there has not been clearly visible efforts on the national firm, humane, comprehensive and reach everyone. We also have not been effectively engaged, and while we still hesitate to act, HIV / AIDS continues to go the riot spread suffering and death, and threaten social values, culture, and our economy.
From the description above is very clear how terrible disease is HIV infection. The disease of HIV infection is so severe and the immune system attacks the body and slowly but surely cause the body's immune system to be decreased and eventually function does not work in the infection of microorganisms so that eventually cause death in sufferer. Which is most often suffer infections of opportunistic, the infection by microorganisms, which in the normal person can be said does not cause disease.
One of the interesting issues about HIV / AIDS research in the popularity in the world of health, among others, transmission of HIV infection from pregnant women / breastfeeding to the child.
A child may be at risk of contracting HIV infection in the womb, during childbirth, and postnatal period through breastfeeding. In the population with many mothers who are breastfeeding, 30% to 50% transmission of HIV infection can be caused by the breastfeeding process. In general, it is estimated that 320,000 out of 800,000 spread of HIV infection in children is estimated to occur each year are caused by the process of breastfeeding (Mofenson, 2007). Although the process of breastfeeding can transmit HIV infection to about 14%, but in some circumstances where the high prevalence of HIV, breastfeeding imperfection can increase the risk of death in infants 3 to 5 time. A baby can die because of not breastfeeding or adequate of HIV infection that is transmitted through breastfeeding.
