Summary: | This paper explores the historical narrations of AIDS in Indonesia that shape its
construction. It will focus on the relation between Governmental and Islamic
responses to HIV/AIDS. In this research, we will focus on the governmental official
commission on AIDS prevention (KPA) which is concern about HIV and AIDS
and MUI as a government Islamic institution. This paper will argued that the
responses of both parties in the Indonesian “narrations” of HIV/AIDS can influence
the practice of AIDS prevention. Government ways to treat AIDS in Indonesia
have changed overtime in line with the development of medical and social
work efforts to cope with the problem of HIV/AIDS. However the Islamic institution
response in Indonesia does not change anymore and seems not to have
seriously attention in the issue of HIV/AIDS, it can be look from the unchanging
MUI’s fatwa which is limited the problem of AIDS solely as morality problem
Makalah ini akan menguraikan narasi historis tentang AIDS di Indonesia yang
membentuk konstruksi terhadap penyakit ini. Fokus masalah yang akan diteliti
adalah hubungan antara pemerintah dan kelompok Islam dalam merespon HIV/
AIDS. Negara dalam hal ini diwakili oleh KPA (Komisi Penanggulangan AIIDS) dan
MUI (Majelis Ulama Indonesia) sebagai institusi Islam di bawah pemerintah.
Makalah ini berargumen bahwa respon kedua kelompok tersebut tersaji dalam suatu narasi penjangkitan HIV/AIDS yang berpengaruh terhadap tindakan
penenanganan AIDS di Indonesia. Cara penanganan pemerintah terhadap AIDS
di Indonesia telah berubah sepanjang waktu sejalan dengan perkembangan medis
dan upaya-upaya pada ranah pekerjaan sosial dalam mengatasi masalah AIDS.
Namun sebaliknya, respon institusi Islam tidak berubah sama sekali, hal ini dapat
dilihat dari fatwa MUI yang masih memandang persoalan AIDS sebagai persoalan
moralitas. |
