Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remain serious global public health threats due to social inequalities, stigma, and lack of education, which hinder early detection and equitable access to care. Therefore, the World Health Organization calls for comprehensive and sustainable approaches to reduce the incidence of new HIV infections. Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the incidence of HIV/AIDS at Kendari City Regional General Hospital in 2025. Methods: This research is a quantitative study using a case-control design. The sample size for this study was 63 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling. This study used a 1:1 ratio, so the ratio of case subjects to controls was 63:63. Therefore, the total number of subjects in this study was 126 respondents. Results: The results of the study showed that the risk factors for HIV/AIDS incidence in Kendari City Hospital in 2025 based on the results of the final model logistic regression analysis contained significant variables (p < 0.05), namely population migration (OR = 0.429; p = 0.020). The knowledge variable (p = 0.770) and nutritional status (p = 1.000) did not show a significant relationship with the incidence of HIV/AIDS in Kendari City Hospital in 2025. Conclusion: population migration is a risk factor for HIV/AIDS incidence in Kendari City Hospital in 2025.
