Until now, HIV AIDS has spread in 407 out of 507 districts / cities or can be said to reach 80 percent of all provinces in Indonesia. In this paper the authors use two theories, namely policy theory and role theory, these theories are considered suitable to explain the response of the Riau government in responding to the cooperation between Indonesia and UNAIDS in dealing with HIV / AIDS in Riau Province.
