Substansial Pemberian Edukasi Tentang Penyakit HIV/AIDS pada Remaja

Abstract

The infectious disease HIV/AIDS in Indonesia continues to be a serious concern, particularly due to its high prevalence. Community service is carried out through various strategies, both directly and indirectly. Preparation before the educational activities involves the development of informational materials in printed forms, such as leaflets and pamphlets explaining HIV/AIDS. The method of information delivery is through lectures and discussions, with a focus on vocational high school adolescents. The activities commence with an introduction to build initial understanding, followed by an education session on HIV/AIDS, and conclude with a question-and-answer session to ensure a deeper understanding. The results of the education activities show that the delivery of materials went smoothly, with active participation observed from adolescents who paid close attention to the educational content. In the question-and-answer session, some respondents were able to answer questions well, indicating a good understanding of the causes and transmission methods of HIV/AIDS. The evaluation of these activities demonstrates positive cooperation from the adolescents and success in enhancing their knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS.
