Summary
HIV / AIDS is a health problem in the world since 1981; this disease develops in a pandemic. World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 3.5 million people in Southeast Asia are living with HIV / AIDS in 2011. Several countries, such as Myanmar, Nepal, and Thailand, show a declining trend of new HIV infections. Socialization and counseling efforts about HIV / AIDS transmission behavior are significant to increase adolescent knowledge, change behavior, and increase growing awareness. Leaflet media is a teaching aid that is often used in public health promotion activities. Adolescents as targets of health promotion on HIV / AIDS are based on the assumption that psychologically the characteristics of adolescent personality are unstable. Based on the statement from the school for five years recently, there was no counseling about HIV / AIDS in schools
