Introduction: The involvement and complexity of multiple stakeholders in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) policy implementation are needed; however, a deviation from stakeholder's point of view becomes a problem in achieving policy implementation goals. To improve the performance of implementers in efforts to control HIV/AIDS in Banjarmasin City, this study analyzed the compliance of implementers in executing HIV/AIDS control policies, and this is something that agencies in Banjarmasin has never accomplished. Material and methods: To investigate policy data, guidelines, and implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Banjarmasin City, a system analysis method was used. Selection of information was based on various considerations as per the needs of required information taken from individuals, who better understand implementation of HIV/AIDS control programs in Banjarmasin. Sampling technique was part of concurrent triangulation design (Creswell, 2012; Creswell, 2018). Data collection techniques for conducting interviews were used as an interview guide. Observation method employed in this study was simultaneously connected with enriching the research by presenting additional data to support the information obtained from interviews. Results: From the implementers point of view, HIV/AIDS control efforts are not yet priority, as there are still high urgency agency programs. In addition, the implementation considered HIV/AIDS control program only to continue a previous one. Various factors, which underlined the compliance in the implementers in using HIV/AIDS control policies were due to the absence of socialization in regional regulations, so that the majority of informants did not know about them. Moreover, the contents and objectives of regional regulations are unclear and not detailed, so it is difficult to interpret aims and objectives. Additionally, there is unclear role of administrators in the implementation of HIV/AIDS control and the absence of mayor regulations and technical guidelines to follow Regional Regulation No. 11/2012. Conclusions: Local regulations cannot be implemented optimally. It is necessary to have clear regulations in the implementation of HIV/AIDS control policies in order to increase the compliance of the implementers in policy application. © 2025 Termedia Publishing House Ltd..
