Abstract

Basic services are public services to fulfill the basic needs of citizens. According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2014 and Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 100 of 2018 states that basic services consist of services in the education sector. Public Health works and spatial planning. public housing and residential areas. Public order and community and social protection. “Health is a fundamental human right”. This statement underlies the idea that health is a basic human right and health is an investment, because health is a major component in regional and human development besides education and the economy (finance). The existence of 103 cases of HIV AIDS sufferers set a bad precedent that tarnished the public service system in North Aceh District. Discriminatory treatment that occurs to people with HIV AIDS. Incomplete socialization worsens public perceptions of this disease, especially for people with HIV AIDS. This research was conducted in North Aceh District, using a quantitative approach, through interviews, observations, questionnaires and document review. This study shows that the recorded cases of HIV AIDS in North Aceh District were 103 cases in 2018, where the majority of HIV and AIDS sufferers were in Dewantara and Baktiya Districts. There is a significant increase in HIV AIDS cases every year, it seems that the government does not carry out surveillance and take cases prevention seriously. In implementing Permendagri No. 100 of 2018, the government has not been able to maximize its services, even though in this regulation the local government can do it in stages. Of the 103 HIV AIDS cases, 36 of them died because they did not routinely take drugs according to the officers’ recommendations. Aceh Utara is the district with the highest number of HIV AIDS cases in Aceh Province. Drugs and free lifestyle are the main factors in the spread of this deadly virus. No one can truly be prepared for the shock and emotional sorrow he experiences on hearing the news; “You are HIV positive.”
