Mudzakarah Nasional Ulama (National Discussion of Islamic Scholars) about  HIV/AIDS Transmission Overcoming dated November 30, 1995, states that HIV/AIDS is a common hazard (al-dharar al-‘Am) potentially threatening everyone regardless sex, age, and profession, including muslimahs (Moslem Women). This research aimed to study the marriage right protection for HIV/AIDS-infected muslimahs in Surakarta Indonesia. This qualitative with exploratory approach was conducted on HIV/AIDS-infected muslimahs, their partner, husband and other family member, Religious Affairs Office of Pasar Kliwon Surakarta, Program Manager of Surakarta City’s AIDS Commission, and SPEK HAM NGO as the facilitator of women with HIV/AIDS. Data collection was conducted using observation, in-depth interview, and documentation, while data validation using data source triangulation, and data analysis using interactive analysis model. Moslems are obliged to attempt to prevent HIV/AIDS using various methods. There is no special treatment for HIV/AIDS-infected muslimahs wanting to get married; they should obligatorily undertake medical test in local Public Health Center including Voluntary Counseling and Testing. HIV status is confidential in nature. Marriage contains not only advantages but also some mafsadah (hazards) including bad character of wife, parents in law, and new family; forgetting God, secular pleasure and etc. The openness to the partner is very important to a husband-wife couple, one of which is infected with HIV/AIDS thereby not harming each other. They still can make sexual relation with safe sexual behavior by using condom. Pregnancy decision is joint decision, because their right does not change due to HIV infection. Pregnant muslimahs with HIV/AIDS should be educated about their pregnancy discontinuation or continuation due to risk of mother-to-child HIV/AIDS transmission. Delivery with section caesarian should be conducted carefully with self-protection apparatus. Thereafter, muslimahs can be recommended to choose contraceptives to prevent the next pregnancy.
