<p><em>This qualitative research attempts to describe the Religious Coping Strategies (RCS) of HIV / AIDS women in the Dr.</em> <em>Kariadi State Government Hospital, Semarang.</em> <em>Data collection through in-depth interviews with 6 informants.</em> <em>The result shows that</em> <em>4 housewives informants developed Positive RCS, can be seen from three aspects, namely 1).</em> <em>They</em> <em>improve worship and forgive partners;</em> <em>2).</em> <em>They are able to take lessons from the pain and use the hijab;</em> <em>3).</em> <em>They are optimistic, it is shown in the spirit of work and adherence to treatment.</em> <em>The other 2 informants, WPS (Female Sex Workers) and PK (Karaoke Guides) tend to choose Negative RCS.</em> <em>This is seen from spiritual dissatisfaction (assuming fate and not wanting to change themselves for the better), thinking that the illness is a punishment indicated by despair and suicide attempts, and judging negatively on his religion (still running his profession without heeding the sins and effects that have been experienced).</em> <em>Furthermore, the roots of the relevance of RCS for HIV / AIDS women</em> <em>with the application of sufistic counseling in health services can be traced to the existence of Islamic counseling practiced by counselors at this clinic.</em> <em>This is where the opportunity to apply Islamic counseling is more specific to the planting of Sufistic values.</em> <em>Sufistic counseling emphasizes behaviors such as gratitude, patience, qana'ah, and sincerity, in fact RCS can be invested in Muslim HIV / AIDS patients.</em> <em>These attitudes and behaviors play an important role in suppressing the progression of the disease.</em><em></em></p>
