<![CDATA[This study engagement aimed to understand the self-disclosure experiences of adolescents living with HIV/AIDS at Yayasan Lentera Surakarta and to strengthen community-based psychosocial support. The program was conducted from May to July 2025 through group discussions and in-depth interviews with 10 adolescent participants, using a phenomenological method. The materials were delivered through dialogic and reflective approaches to encourage openness. Findings revealed that disclosure is highly personal, influenced by past trauma, social support, and self-acceptance. A safe environment like Lentera fosters adolescents' confidence to disclose their status. These results have important implications for developing empathetic and contextual disclosure support interventions.]]>
