Commemoration of World AIDS Day in Indonesia on December 1st, 2013 ago caused controversy. This incident happened when the commemoration which was directed to the campaign to fight the disease caused by HIV infection was accompanied with the National Condomization Week. The controversy arose because the National Condomization Week, which was held from December 1st–7th, 2013, was filled with events for distributing condoms to campuses and schools. This immediately received criticism from several groups. After the author analyzes in various literatures, it turned out that the National Condomization Week, which was launched by the IndonesianMinistry of Health at that time, was motivated by concerns about the increasing number of cases of HIV AIDS transmission and the number of abortions among young people due to pregnancies out of wedlock. The program aims to prevent the development of this dangerous disease and also the very high abortion rate. Viewed from the perspective of sadd al-dhari’ah theory, the condomization week must be stopped forever because it will lead to greater malfeasance, namely free sex behavior among young people or adolescents as well as adults. This is because the distribution of condoms is carried out freely to campuses and schools.
