This research used a qualitativeapproach with a case study method. Four students with HIV/AIDS from Victory Plus Foundation Yogyakarta who met the criteria were selected as research participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews validated by triangulation and member checking.

Perseverance, social support, and the ability to manage negative emotions are the main keys to their resilience.
