The existence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of the scary scourges in the community because of its unexpected transmission by HIV due to human behavior.

Conclusion: The variable that has the greatest influence on the quality of life of People with HIV/AIDS (ODHIV) is social support. Social support has proven to be a very significant factor in improving the quality of life of people living with HIV. Individuals with strong social support, whether from family, friends, or the community, tend to have a better quality of life than those who receive less social support. Social support plays a role in helping people with HIV cope with stigma, reduce psychological pressure, and provide a sense of security and comfort that can have a positive impact on their physical and mental well-being.
