The perspectives imposed on PLWHA significantly influence their perception of the surrounding community. Community knowledge is crucial in shaping these perspectives, particularly from individuals with experience caring for PLWHA. Society holds both positive and negative values concerning HIV/AIDS and PLWHA. }, issn = {2620-4053}, pages = {55--65} doi = {10.14710/jpki.20.1.%p}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/jpki/article/view/61593} }
