India has contributed enormously to the AIDS disease. It said a total 17 lakh people had died across the world due to AIDS related illness. In India, the figure for such deaths reaches at 1.7 lakh. As per survey it is observed that we can reduce this death rate by creating awareness among people. Adolescent girls are more prone to suffer with AIDS because they are in the age of sexually activeness (16-18 yr) so it is our primary concern to educate adolescent girls about AIDS. In this study total 40 samples were selected by using non probability convinent sampling. The finding showed that Post test meam knowledge score (84.7%) was higher than pre test score (65%) and computed "t" value was 21.85 which was found significant at level of P≤0.001 which indicate effectiveness of STP. In literature it's written that mass media & public awareness is the best way to eradicate AIDS. The investigator felt strong need to evaluate knowledge on AIDS among adolescent girls of rural India.
Related factors to HIV/AIDS prevention behavior of adolescents in Jakarta's high school
International Journal of Public Health Science (IJPHS), 2024
Adolescents are developing self-maturity, so they should have the correct views to become a person with a positive self-concept. Therefore, this period requires the role of parents. The parental roles include educating, teaching, disciplining, and protecting children to reach adulthood according to social norms. However, adolescents prefer to spend time with their peers, so peers are dominant in influential and modeling aspects of adolescents' sexual behavior with their partners. One of the behaviors compulsorily concerned is human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) prevention behavior. This study aimed to determine the relationship between characteristics, communication quality, parenting, peer roles, and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in adolescents at "Y" Senior High School in North Jakarta. This study employed a cross-sectional research design. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling technique, and 208 students were obtained from 432 students. Gender, parental communication quality, and peer roles affected HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. The dominant variable was parental communication quality (OR=0.509). After controlling for gender and peer role characteristics, adolescents with strong parental communication quality were 0.51 times more likely to participate in HIV/AIDS-positive preventive activities than those with poor parental communication quality. Adolescents are expected to communicate with their parents, especially about sexual issues, more openly.

By the end of 2012, about 1.2 million Kenyans were living with the HIV virus; which is expected to reach 1.8 million by 2015, mainly due to new infections. The age bracket 15-24 years provided opportunity for interventions such as peer education to prevent new infections and save future generations from the scourge. The aim of this study was to determine the difference between peer education club members (beneficiaries) and non-members (non-beneficiaries) in terms of behaviour change indicators, including abstinence, faithfulness to a partner, condom use and HIV testing. The study covered eight public secondary schools in Rachuonyo County, where peer education clubs had been operational for two years. The static group comparison design was applied to guide the research process, and primary data sourced from 260 beneficiaries and 212 non-beneficiaries. Club membership and class registers were used to develop sampling frames for beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, respectively. Abstract-By the end of 2012, about 1.2 million Kenyans were living with the HIV virus; which is expected to reach 1.8 million by 2015, mainly due to new infections. The age bracket 15-24 years provided opportunity for interventions such as peer education to prevent new infections and save future generations from the scourge. The aim of this study was to determine the difference between peer education club members (beneficiaries) and non-members (non-beneficiaries) in terms of behaviour change indicators, including abstinence, faithfulness to a partner, condom use and HIV testing. The study covered eight public secondary schools in Rachuonyo County, where peer education clubs had been operational for two years. The static group comparison design was applied to guide the research process, and primary data sourced from 260 beneficiaries and 212 non-beneficiaries. Club membership and class registers were used to develop sampling frames for beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, respectively. Systematic random sampling procedure was applied to select participants and Fisher's formula used to determine sample sizes. Quantitative analysis techniques included cross-tabulations with Chi square statistic, beta coefficients (β), and odds ratios [Exp (β)]. The study found that 27 (10.4%) beneficiaries and 8 (3.8%) non-beneficiaries were not sexually active, hence, were likely to be practicing abstinence. Controlling for gender, age, religion, orphan hood status and schooling consistency, the odds ratios indicated that beneficiaries had about 2.6 times the odds of practicing abstinence as non-beneficiaries (β = 0.946, SE = 0.189, CI = 1.78-3.73); beneficiaries were about 3.3 times as likely to practice faithfulness to an uninfected partner as non-beneficiaries (β = 1.197, SE = 0.272, CI = 1.94-5.64). Furthermore, beneficiaries had about 2.6 times the odds of using condoms consistently as non-beneficiaries (β = 0.969, SE = 0.186, CI = 1.83-3.78); and regarding HIV testing, beneficiaries had 2.1 times the odds of taking HIV test as non-beneficiaries (β = 0.764, SE = 0.181, CI = 1.506-3.061). In conclusion, the peer education project had contributed significantly to behaviour change among the secondary school youths. However, without appropriate sustainability measures, such gains may be lost easily because behaviour change has a lot to do with change in the mind-set, something that may not be achieved through a project of two years. The study recommends that peer education be integrated in school extra-curricular activities. This will require the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health to spearhead the formulation of appropriate policy guidelines and curricula, encourage professional development of teachers in peer education; and extend peer education sensitization to the community level to enable parents play a more active guidance role to sustain and scale-up the gains made through the project.

As HIV/AIDS Continue to be a global and national concern, amidst other strategies to curb this epidemic, there is a need to focus on HIV prevention especially in the high-risk groups. Now days, the girls seem more worried about getting pregnant than having HIV. This has exposed more young people to HIV he added. A welldefined and efficient health system is a major determinant to achieving a healthy population or society. Globally, HIV/AIDS has been a complex socioeconomic problem for the last four decades. Thus, the fight against HIV/AIDS goes beyond deductive type conventional approach to self-empowered approach. That is, students should have the experiences to re-evaluate their perception in terms of HIV/AIDS, sexuality and career/life development. Moreover, premeditated responses against HIV/AIDS require sorting out high risk behavioral groups and that urges to address information, education, and communication.
HIV/AIDS still remains a threat to development of people of all age and Nationalities. It is pandemic, now at the beginning of its third decade, is one of the most devastating diseases, currently. It deprives families, communities and entire nations of people at their most productive ages. Globally, 34.0 million [31.4 million-35.9 million] people were living with HIV at the end of 2011. HIV continues to profoundly affect women and girls across all regions. India was the second largest population infected with HIV/AIDS and over 29.23% of all reported AIDS cases were women (NACO 2005). The figures in India as well as all over the world show that HIV/AIDS victims amongst girls will increase faster than the boys. The vulnerability of HIV infection in adolescent girls increases due to the biological factors and due to the limited information on growing up and sexuality issues. At such age girls are not so much aware about contracting HIV/AIDS and it's after effects, which creates the problem. This makes adolescence a crucial period in her life time. This calls for not only health education and health promotion in general, but also for HIV prevention and AIDS education specifically for which intervention programme should be organized. In this context, the author made a scientific attempt to intervene adolescent girls to protect themselves from AIDS and to find out the level of awareness and changes in the level of awareness about HIV/AIDS which occurred as a result of intervention programme. This study was conducted among two hundred adolescent girls of Agra district. For implementation of intervention programme the whole sample was divided into two experiment groups. In both of the experiment groups, lecture method was used for imparting awareness regarding HIV/AIDS. Lectures were given with the help of computer presentation. The difference between first and second experiment group was that at the end of intervention programme booklet was distributed only to each of the students of first experiment group. In second experiment group booklets were not distributed. The comparative analysis of gained awareness scores obtained by the both of the experiment groups shows that regarding the basic facts about HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, progression stages of HIV/AIDS, symptoms of HIV/AIDS, medical tests and treatment for HIV/AIDS, government programme and policy against HIV/AIDS and total level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS, the average mean of the gained awareness scores were higher among first experiment group than the second experiment group. On the other hand the average mean of gained awareness scores regarding causes of HIV infection and prevention against HIV infection were higher in second experiment group than the first experiment group. Z analysis shows that except the symptoms and total level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS, the differences between the two means regarding all other aspects were not found statistically significant. Regarding to the symptoms of HIV/AIDS and total level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS, the z values were found to be significant at 0.5 level of probability. Overall level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS of most of the respondents was at medium level. The 't' figure reveals that there were significant difference regarding total level of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS between before and after the intervention programme among both experiment groups.
