PELAKSANAAN PASAL 17 PERATURAN DAERAH KABUPATEN TULUNGAGUNG NOMOR 4 TAHUN 2021 TENTANG PENANGGULANGAN HIV/AIDS OLEH KOMISI PENANGGULANGAN AIDS KABUPATEN TULUNGAGUNG

Abstract

This study analyzes the Implementation of the Provisions of the Tulungagung Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2021 concerning HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control, especially efforts to prevent and control HIV and AIDS carried out by the Tulungagung Regency AIDS Control Commission (KPA). This research method uses empirical legal research. The results of this study explain that the Tulungagung Regency AIDS Control Commission has made systematic efforts to improve HIV/AIDS control (as an implementation of the provisions of Article 17 of the Tulungagung Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2021) with promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative steps. The Tulungagung AIDS Commission also actively organizes education programs, socialization, and inclusive and sustainable health services in accordance with the mandate of the regulation, but in its implementation there are still several obstacles, such as limited resources, lack of cross-sector integration, and uneven levels of public awareness, while the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS control in Tulungagung Regency by the Tulungagung Regency AIDS Commission can be said to be relatively successful in suppressing the rate of spread of new cases and increasing access to services for people with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This can be seen from the increase in the achievement of early detection, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment, and counseling activities targeting various groups in society. However, this effectiveness still faces structural obstacles such as social stigma against PLWHA, lack of coordination between related institutions, and budget limitations in program implementation.
