---

HIV/AIDS epidemic has impacted the socioeconomy of the family, particu¬larly the quality of life of adolescents (12 to 18 years of age). To assess the inpact of HIV/AIDS in the family on the quality of life of adolescents and identify factors determining the extent of the impact, a research has been carried out using survey data on AIDS collected in 2007 by Center for Health Research, University of Indonesia. A composite variable consisting of edu¬cation, social environment, and physical activity variables, which was cate¬gorized as less good and good, was employed to measure the quality of life. These variables were then subjected to multi-variable logistic regression analysis to examine the extent of impact of HIV/AIDS status in the family,
household, and child towards the quality of life of adolescents. This analy¬sis showed that HIV/AIDS in the family had adverse impact on the life of adolescents (OR; 1,6). The impact was worse on adolescents who lack of care (OR; 1,7), especially if the care givers were male (OR; 2,8) and had low level of education (OR; 2,4). The adverse impact was similar on both female and male adolescents.
