Cryptococcal meningitis caused by fungal infections of Cryptococcus neoformans remains a major cause of morbidity and death among patients with a decreased immune system especially in developing countries. Cryptococcal meningitis is the most common fungal infection of the central nervous system and becomes a serious opportunistic infection in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS. Nursing problems that often arise are changes in consciousness due to decreased perfusion of cerebral tissue due to inflammation and increased intranranial pressure. The mandatory obedient intervention that can be given is by giving a head elevation position of 30o, this position can facilitate venous blood flow so that it can maintain brain oxygen and maintain intracranial pressure which impacts on perfusion of adequate cerebral tissue. The results of the intervention position of the head elevation of 30 degrees in patients with cryptococcal mening with HIV AIDS can reduce the level of client anxiety. These results indicate that a 30 degree head elevation position can improve brain tissue perfusion but should be given in conjunction with a collaborative medication. Nurses need to pay attention to contraindications when giving an elevation position of 30 degrees
