<![CDATA[The increased HIV/AIDS epidemic makes the social-economic development burden heavier. The objective of research is to analyze public participation in overcoming HIV/AIDS as the manifestation of warga peduli AIDS (local residents concerned about AIDS). The target group in this case study was community and stakeholders such as Kelurahan, Warga Peduli AIDS Administrator, AIDS Commission of Surakarta City, Surakarta Health Service, Solo Plus Peer Support Group, and LSM Peduli AIDS (NGO concerned about AIDS) in Surakarta selected purposively. Data collection was carried out using observation, in-depth interview, and documentation. Data was validated using data source triangulation, and then analyzed using Parsons’ social system theory. The result of research showed that some citizens concerned about AIDS and were active but had not participated much in coping with AIDS, due to their limited knowledge, limited awareness, and fear of undertaking HIV test, less optimal, non-sustainable socialization from AIDS Commission and AIDS-Concerned institution focusing on risk group only, so that people got inadequate information about HIV/AIDS, stigma and discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. AIDS overcoming needs active role from many parties including government, community, those infected and affected in preventing, treating, mitigating the effect, and developing conducive environment systemically and in integrated manner, in order to achieve the objective.
