Abstract

AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) caused by HIV (Human
Immunodeficiency Virus) infection, is still one of the infectious diseases that
causes fatalistic and have not already found a universal and reliable vaccine. As
the name given to the virus as well as the disease it causes, the signs and
symptoms experienced by the sufferer are persistent and severe disorders of the
body's defense mechanism against the disease, or the person's immunological
system.
Epidemiology of AIDS in Indonesia, which is a tropical country and its territory
is mostly sea area still high, even East Java was the highest accumulatively until
March 2016. HIV infection itself until March 2016, East Java accumulatively was
on the second level after DKI Jakarta. Based on the data of The Ministry of Health
during 2014, farmer and fishermen were on the fourth level of AIDS in Indonesia.
This mechanism of immune system disorders by HIV is important to explain
and understand, so that current researchs, as well as in the future, can solve the
problems posed by this viral infection, either by the discovery of vaccines or
their preventive measures, formulation of a therapeutic management which is
reliable.
