The enactment of the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 21 of 2013, which is related to HIV-AIDS Prevention, is a real effort by the Government to establish positive legal behavior of the community. The substance contains the values of progressive law to challenge the status quo concept of thinking, which believes that the problems of gay life are no longer revolving around human rights issues, but have become the problem of the destruction of the values of human civilization. The law must be the vanguard to prevent moral degradation due to the consequences of deviant behavior by gays, as a trigger for the transmission of HIV-AIDS. The community’s legal awareness and legal compliance must also be used as benchmarks to cope with the impact of HIV/AIDS transmission to form a civilized human life, with moral intelligence, to the most personal level of life.
