Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, people with HIV-AIDS are a population that more likely to be immunosuppressed prequire more attention. People living with HIV-AIDS (PLWHA) are advised to take the same precautions as the general public, including frequent hand washing, coughing etiquette, physical distancing, mask use, and medical attention in the event of symptoms. This study seeks to identify the factors associated with the prevention of COVID-19 transmission among HIV-positive patients at the Jumpandang Baru Public Health Center in Makassar. The research method used was analytic observational with a cross-sectional research design. The total number of participants in this study was 659 HIV-AIDS patients receiving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. 188 individuals were cosen as the research sample in the working area of the Jumpandang Baru Public Health Center in Makassar City. Simple random sampling was used for the sampling process. The data were analyzed using SPSS, the Chi-square test, and logistic regression. The results showed that the variables associated with COVID-19 prevention measures in PLWHA, were knowledge (p=0.001), attitude (p=0.003), vaccination (p=0.022), and ARV treatment (p=0.038). However, the family social support variable (p=0.038 = 0.162) had no significant relationship. The most related factor is knowledge Exp (B) = 5.613. Those with HIV-AIDS who have positive knowledge are 5.613 times more likely to take precautions against COVID-19 than those with HIV-AIDS who have negative knowledge. The conclusion is that health workers can participate and collaborate in increasing knowledge in the application of health protocols so that people with HIV-AIDS can be protected from COVID-19.
