General description:

Data from our Health Ministry in 2021 show that decrease of HIV cases found in Indonesia, most likely due to lack of HIV testing during COVID 19 pandemic. Based on our primary data to 42 students it is shown that most of them still do not fully understand HIV/AIDS. Based on this, we feel the dissemination of information about HIV/AIDS to the wider community is still needed. This activity was held on 28 November 2022 – 10 January 2023, including crowdfunding, social media campaigns, volunteering.
