Stigma and discrimination against People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) make them lose job, social status, and family’s and community’s support. This paper aims to study the Civilians Caring about AIDS (CCA) developing process, their acceptance to PLWHAs and active participation in coping with HIV/AIDS in Punggawan, Surakarta Indonesia. Informants of research were PLWHAs, Chairperson of Solo Plus Peer Support Group, CCA of Punggawan, Surakarta, Chairperson of Surakarta Health Office, Program Manager of Surakarta AIDS Commission, Manager of Surakarta Half-way House of Lentera, Voluntary Counseling and Testing Counselor in Punggawan Public Health Center, and relevant document. Techniques of collecting data were observation, in-depth interview, and documentation. Data analysis was interactive model of analysis with Elias’ Civilizing Process theory. In coping with HIV/AIDS, Punggawan people consider religious value, culture, and society norm; respect human dignity and prestige, and gender equality. The activity focused on maintaining and solidifying family’s resilience and wellbeing, was integrated into development program, and conducted systematically and comprehensively to maintain reasonable and productive social-economic life for PLWHAs and people affected with HIV/AIDS. Partnership-based HIV/AIDS management was conducted within society and government, involving active participation of key population, PLWHAs, and people affected with HIV/AIDS. PLWHAs adapt to family and community environment, thereby not encountering discrimination in society life.
