The research was conducted from June to July 2024 in a culinary manner with a constructivist paradigm. Data is collected through participatory observations, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results of the research, persuasive communication between the Counselor and ODHIV is in line with the theory of persuasive communication on the Elaboration Likelihood Model and the persuasive theory on cognitive dissonance. HIV patients as ODHIV have a strong motivation with a central route to the processing of their information, so that the counselor can easily persuade the patient through effective communication.
