The objective of this study is to provide information for the stakeholders on the roles of local authorities, politicians, local businessmen in the era of decentralization and democracy on mitigation and prevention of HIV-AIDS spreading. The study is descriptive qualitative research where the data was derived from performance of NGO when caring HIV-AIDS, commission of AIDS prevention as well as behavior of local authorities and politician in Kalimantan Selatan province during the period of 2010–2015. The misconduct of authorities is reflected in rent-seeking behavior hidden in the shadow of democratic system where policies issued by the local authorities is not for public needs in the prevention and mitigation of HIV-AIDS as it considered unfavorable for the benefit of the local authorities. Moving to democratic system and decentralization not automatically facilitates the policy in HIV-AIDS mitigation but ironically it gives birth to a mentally corrupted and rent seeking leaders.
