Providing treatment to patients with HIV-AIDS has its difficulties for the health workers. This is because of the characteristics of the HIV-AIDS disease that attacks the human immune system. A patient with HIV-AIDS has a condition where he is required to take drugs or other therapies so that the development of the HIV does not get worse. This obligation can burden the patient’s life so that the patient often feels tired during his treatment.
