Abstract: Although adolescents are considered to be a vulnerable group to HIV, they are a diverse group, and many of them show anti-HIV characteristics. Based on in-depth interviews with 16 teenagers, this paper explores the teenagers' antiHIV/AIDS qualities drawing lessons from biological immune theory framework, and the results reveal that their anti-HIV mechanism functions in the following five stages:immune monitoring, early warning, immune activation, immune effect and immune enhancement. Each of the stage involves specific anti-infection elements, metal and behavioral changes and major incentives. Based on this analysis, the research explores the functions of social work in activating adolescents' anti-infection mechanism in AIDS prevention and treatment services through social governance, self-attention, empowerment, crisis response and subject building.

Key words: adolescents, HIV/AIDS, anti-infection mechanism, social work, immune technology
