The method used in this research is Fuzzy C-Means to carry out clustering in districts/cities which will then be visualized using a map or with a Geography Informatics System (GIS). The Fuzzy C-Means method is a data grouping technique that uses the existence of each data point in A cluster as determined by the degree of membership. The output from Fuzzy C-Means is a series of cluster centers and several degrees of membership for each data point. The data used in this research is HIV/AIDS data in Riau Province from 1997 to 2023. Based on the results of the tests that have been carried out, the results obtained are 3 clusters, namely the safe zone has 5 districts/cities, the alert zone has 5 districts/cities, and There are 2 districts/cities in the dangerous zone. There needs to be treatment through the Health Service, the AIDS Control Commission, and related Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to prevent and control HIV/AIDS in Riau Province for areas that have a high potential for the spread of HIV/AIDS.
