Abstract

HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a serious illness caused by the HIV virus, which attacks the immune system, leading to high morbidity and mortality. HIV cases in Indonesia reached an estimated 503,201 people in 2024. In addition to biological challenges, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) face severe psychosocial stress, primarily due to stigma and discrimination within both the family and the wider community. Therefore, the critical aspect of psychosocial adaptation requires a holistic approach, particularly through family support, to reduce stigma and ensure PLWHA receive optimal support. To determine the relationship between stigma and family support on the psychosocial adaptation of HIV/AIDS patients. This study used a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 79 respondents. Sampling was determined using the accidental sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed using the Spearman's rho correlation test. The results of the Spearman's rho correlation test indicate a relationship between stigma and family support on the psychosocial adaptation of HIV/AIDS patients. A relationship exists between stigma and family support on the psychosocial adaptation of HIV/AIDS patients.

Abstract

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), remains a significant global health issue, with an estimated 39.9 million people living with HIV (PLHIV) worldwide. HIV damages the immune system, particularly CD4 T cells, making patients susceptible to opportunistic infections. Given this major impact, immune status is a primary focus for PLHIV, where two key factors adherence to Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy and coping strategies play a vital role. ARV adherence is proven to suppress viral replication and restore CD4 cell count, while adaptive coping strategies assist in managing stress that can weaken the immune response. To determine the correlation between ARV adherence and coping strategies on the immune status of people living with HIV (PLHIV). This study used a quantitative research type with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 64 respondents. Sampling was determined using the Slovin formula technique. The data obtained were analyzed using the Spearman's Rho correlation test. The results of the Spearman's Rho correlation test indicated a correlation between antiretroviral (ARV) adherence and coping strategies on the immune status of people living with HIV (PLHIV). There is a correlation between antiretroviral (ARV) adherence and coping strategies on the immune status of people living with HIV (PLHIV).
