Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome knowledge level and implications for health promotion program on high school students at Banjarbaru city.

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) cases were found in South Kalimantan; until June 2012, based on residence, the cases include 164 people of Banjarmasin, 54 people of Banjarbaru, and 141 people of Tanah Bumbu. Although the number of cases in Banjarbaru is not as high as in the city of Banjarmasin, there remains a concern that the case did not increase and may even be pressed.

Aims: This study aimed to describe adolescents' knowledge about HIV-AIDS and the implications on the health promotion program among the senior high school students in Banjarbaru in an effort to prevent HIV-AIDS.
