Public opinion regarding the meaning of subjective well-being (happiness) between healthy people and people with terminal illnesses influence the process of defining subjective well-being. Growing public assumption nowadays stated that subjective well-being can only be achieved by healthy people, while people with chronic diseases, such as HIV/AIDS (ODHA), will experience difficulties in attaining subjective well-being. Such careless assumption will only worsen the condition of people with HIV/AIDS (ODHA). This research aims to increase the subjective well-being of people with HIV/AIDS by the application of relaxation training, specifically breathing relaxation. This research used quasi experiment with small N, using ABAB design. This method was based on the perspective that deeper analysis to an individual subject will reveal a more thorough understanding. This method consists of four phase, namely the first baseline, first treatment, second baseline, and second treatment. During each baseline phase, the author observed participant behavior without giving treatment. During each treatment phase, participant was given breathing relaxation.

Results showed that relaxation training�especially breathing relaxation�hasn�t able to increase positive affect and increase subjective well-being in subject �S�.
