The highest cases occur in the age group of 20-49 years which indicates that in adolescence (15-25 years) they already have HIV. The cause of the high incidence of HIV / AIDS in adolescents is influenced by many things including their lack of knowledge about HIV / AIDS. This counseling aims to find out the knowledge of student council members in SMPN 7 Baubau. This counseling uses a lecture method followed by questions and answers targeting large groups, and is assisted by tools such as infocus which is used as a medium for presenting HIV/AIDS health promotion materials, speakers and mics as loudspeakers so that student council members at SMP Negeri 7 Baubau can hear clearly.
