The factor that influences adherence to taking antiretroviral drugs is family support. The type of research used is correlational research with a cross sectional approach. Sampling using pursosive sampling with the number of respondents 121 people. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and the statistical test used was the Pearson Product Moment at α 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between family support for PLWHA and adherence to antiretroviral medication at the HKBP AIDS Ministry (p = 0.001).
