Abstract
Adolescence is a time when someone wants to try various things. HIV/AIDS status is very vulnerable in adolescence, especially sexual deviations. However, when teenagers contract HIV/AIDS, they face many obstacles. The type of research used was qualitative with in-depth interviews with a purposive sampling method, namely snowball sampling of six informants. Six themes were found, namely transmission of HIV/AIDS through free sex, physical impacts where teenagers can still carry out daily activities independently even though they have symptoms such as fever, mouth ulcers, dermatitis, STIs, weight loss and activity You can still do it independently on a daily basis, the psychological impact that changes occur, such as sad crying, fear, rejection, depression, trying to commit suicide, worrying, being alone, and trying to end your life, the existence of social support. Community perception of HIV/ AIDS includes fear, shame, sadness, isolating oneself, depression and trying to end one's life, prevention efforts are made by adolescents to prevent HIV/AIDS by not having free sex, using condoms when having sex, and carrying out HIV/AIDS tests, and spiritual impact by carrying out activities such as praying and reading holy books.
