ABSTRAK
Bad stigma and discrimination are still attached tightly to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) so that there are still many dentists who are afraid to treat PLWHA patients and end up refusing them to be treated. The high risk is accompanied by limited tools / materials for self-protection as well as sterilization and lack of in-depth knowledge about HIV / AIDS are the reasons why many dentists reject PLWHA patients so that dentists prefer to refuse treatment or refer patients to other dentists who are more competent. From the patient's point of view, there must be a sense of discrimination and it make the patients want to fight for his human rights. Therefore, author conducted a study to examine the rule of law governing the refusal of dentists' medical treatment against PLWHA and how the principle of justice for these patients. By conducting normative juridical research and using secondary data with a literature approach, several regulations were obtained that regulate dentists' actions to work according to the rules and be fair to all patients, especially PLWHA patients. These matters are listed mainly in the dental code of ethics and laws and regulations on medical practice and human rights, as well as Permenkes RI No.21 Tahun 2013 tentang penanggulangan HIV/AIDS that is deliberately made to safeguard the rights of PLWHA patients and so that they can be free from stigma and discrimination. It states that dentists must work according to their competence and be fair or do not discriminate against patients, especially to the point of discriminating against and then rejecting patients. The rights of PLWHA patients are also the same as those of other Indonesian citizens, namely the right to be treated without discrimination and the right to obtain health services.
