Abstract

The use of ARV drugs aims to reduce HIV/AIDS-related deaths and increase life expectancy in addition to clinical improvement of people living with HIV. Antiretroviral apart from being an antiviral is also useful for preventing HIV transmission to sexual partners, as well as HIV transmission from mother to child. In the end, it is hoped that this will reduce the number of cases of people infected with new HIV in various countries. Non-adherence to taking ARVs and unsafe sexual behavior can lead to high transmission rates. This study aims to analyze medication adherence and sexual behavior among housewives with HIV/AIDS who visited the CST service at the Cukir Health Center. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with semi-structured interview guidelines, and documentation with 18 PLWHA. Data analysis was carried out descriptively with triangulation methods and data analysis. The results of the analysis illustrate that there is still a lack of perception of vulnerability, perception of pain and perception of benefits for PLWHA, especially unsafe sex behavior of PLWHA.
