Based on the results of the research conducted through surveys and interviews in 2 sub-districts in Bandung, it was found that the adolescent's understanding of HIV AIDS was in good criterion, with indicators to understand the definition of HIV / AIDS and its consequences (84%), and how to prevent the spread of HIV (88%). Meanwhile, adolescent attitudes toward people with HIV / AIDS are included in the moderate category (40% -69%), with adolescent attitude indicators responding to people living with HIV / AIDS (63%), respect (65%).
