Abstract

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks human white blood cells and can cause decreased body immunity, this virus is very dangerous. As a result, if not treated immediately will develop into AIDS and can be life threatening. Therefore, we, students of the Bachelor of Nursing Study Program, Strada Indonesia Institute of Health Sciences, Kediri, carry out community service activities to provide education on preventing the transmission of the HIV virus to PMR teenagers at SMA 7 Kediri. We use the offline Activity Unit (SAP) method. Based on the results of the respondents' knowledge about preventing the transmission of the HIV virus in young PMR when practicing their knowledge, it showed that 33.3% or 2 respondents still did not understand what HIV was and as many as 15 respondents or 66.7% indicated that they already understood what HIV was and how to prevention. Before the activity was carried out on participants, data was obtained from 17 respondents, there were 100% who did not understand HIV as a whole, in independent activities and character building in adolescents to be aware of the importance of prevention methods and the characteristics of the HIV virus. This figure shows us that all the respondents who attended this activity did not really know HIV thoroughly.
