<![CDATA[Introduction: HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, with a high prevalence among vulnerable populations such as injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, and women. Despite progress in treatment accessibility, stigma and socioeconomic barriers persist. Background: Socioeconomic challenges, cultural barriers, and gaps in healthcare access continue to facilitate the spread of HIV/AIDS. The Indonesian government has made efforts to address the epidemic, but there remains a need for improved public health responses. Objective: This case study examines a specific instance of HIV/AIDS management in a vulnerable population in Indonesia, with a focus on stigma, treatment access, and socioeconomic barriers. Methods: A detailed analysis of the patient's history, diagnostic process, and treatment management was conducted. Interviews with healthcare providers, along with a review of relevant public health initiatives, were used to contextualize the case within the broader HIV/AIDS epidemic in Indonesia. Results: The patient faced significant challenges related to stigma, limited access to healthcare, and financial constraints. However, with community-based interventions and consistent access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), the patient showed positive outcomes in managing the disease]. Discussion: The case highlights the importance of addressing both medical and social factors, such as stigma and financial constraints, in managing HIV/AIDS. It also underscores the need for continued improvements in healthcare access and public health initiatives. Conclusion: Targeted interventions, such as community-based education, increased funding, and expanded ART access, are crucial in improving the quality of life for those living with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia and reducing transmission rate.]]>
