If you are wondering whether STDs are prevalent in Indonesia, the answer is "of course". If you are wondering whether you should get checked after sleeping with someone without a condom, the answer is "of course".
Sex education in Indonesia is almost non-existent, and very few people know about STDs. For many, condoms are just a way to come inside a vagina without making babies. It is very common for Indonesians, guys or girls, educated or not, to have sex without any protection.
Prostitutes working in famous bordellos are usually screened regularly and they will force clients to use condoms. It is not always the case for low-end working girls and freelancers. Many expats and Indonesians have multiple partners, switching from "normal girls" to "prostitutes". For this reason, even good girls can be infected and when they do, they are too shy to seek treatment or even visit a gynecologist.
AIDS has killed over 34,000 persons Indonesians according to the UN (see report) and yet the subject is still considered taboo. Instead of waiting for mentalities to evolve, I recommend you to stay safe and to get a regular check-up in one of the facilities mentioned below.

Several other clinics and hospitals I contacted have similar prices, from Rp300 to Rp450,000 for the HIV test. They include the following: Makmal ReproBioMedicine, ABC Lab, RS MMC (conveniently located in Kuningan).
Surprisingly, I didn't manage to get one person from Siloam Hospitals who knew the prices. I will try again soon.
Free HIV tests are available at Puskesmas (community public health centers) and public hospitals for people who have the KJS (Jakarta Health Card). For others, the prices is generally very low. The complete list of locations is available here: Location Free HIV test.
