- Abstract
HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a virus that impairs the function of white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system. This immunodeficiency can result in the development of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV/AIDS remains a significant and growing global health issue. While patient confidentiality is fundamental in healthcare, certain laws permit the disclosure of personal data under specific conditions. Personal data is highly sensitive and must be protected as it is a fundamental privacy right. The right to privacy is enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as a constitutional right, obligating the state to protect its citizens’ privacy. In Indonesia, misuse of personal data for personal gain is a prevalent legal issue. However, addressing these issues is challenging due to the lack of comprehensive legal norms for personal data protection. This research aims to explore the nature of legal protection for personal data as a privacy right and identify the forms of legal protection available in Indonesia. It focuses on the legal protections provided under the ITE Law and the measures available to personal data owners in the event of data breaches. Currently, Indonesia lacks specific regulations governing personal data protection, highlighting the need for comprehensive legal frameworks to safeguard privacy rights.
