HIV/AIDS masih menjadi masalah kesehatan prioritas di Indonesia, dimana mayoritas ODHA berusia dewasa. Diskriminasi dari masyarakat masih sering terjadi dan bisa menjadi stresor bagi ODHA. Dampaknya membuat ODHA tertutup dan menarik diri dari masyarakat serta rentan kehilangan sense of community belonging-nya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan usia, stres, dan diskriminasi dengan sense of community belonging pada ODHA. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah analitik observasional. Penelitian ini dilakukan kepada 81 ODHA di Yayasan Pelita Ilmu, Jakarta dengan teknik sampling consecutive sampling. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 64,2% ODHA berada pada usia dewasa muda (21-35 tahun), 55,6% ODHA mengalami stres ringan, 77,8% ODHA mengalami diskriminasi ringan, dan 63% ODHA memiliki sense of commmunity belonging tinggi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara stres dengan sense of community belonging namun tidak ada hubungan antara usia dan diskriminasi dengan sense of community belonging pada ODHA. Hal ini berarti stres memengaruhi sense of community belonging serta usia dan diskriminasi bisa menjadi faktor risiko tingkat sense of community belonging ODHA. Rekomendasi selanjutnya adalah mencari faktor lain yang berhubungan dengan sense of community belonging pada ODHA.

These results indicate there is relationship between stres and sense of community belonging, but there is no relationship between age and discrimination with sense of community belonging among PLWHA.
