The global HIV/AIDS pandemic is still dangerous due to high incidence and high mortality rate. There are many factors associated with the immunological response beside treatment with medical practice. This paper aimed to assess the correlation of immunological responses and trust in physician measures in adult patients living with HIV/AIDS. A cross-sectional was studied to find the association between CD4 T cell changes and interpersonal trust in patient-physician relationships. This study was carried out 93 aldult patients (male accounted for 83.9%) who were newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS infection at outpatient clinics, Tropical Diseases Hospital from October 2018 to August 2019. The mean TCD4 increased by 324.7 cells/µl and 379.7 cells/µl, respectively, compared to the original of 161.7 cells/µl. Almost all patients had their immunity recovered after 3 and 6 months and the majority of patients have achieved virological success after 6 months of treatment. Factors associated with early immune recovery are: youth, lower-secondary education and single status. The majority of patients had truly trust in physician after 1 month and factors associated with trust in physician scale are: male and employed. In Spearman rank correlation, CD4 T cell recovery and the trust present a strong relationship with p=0.008. Our finding is that the initial immunity recovery was strongly influenced by the interpersonal trust between the patients and the healthcare workers.
