Abstract

Reproductive health knowledge is essential for maternal wellbeing, family planning, and public health. This study aimed to describe mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health in Bulupoddo, Sinjai. A descriptive survey design was employed, involving mothers of reproductive age as study participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering key aspects of reproductive health, including anatomy and physiology, reproductive hygiene, family planning, and prevention of reproductive health problems. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to summarize respondents’ knowledge levels.The results showed that mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health was generally very low. In most assessed domains, the proportion of correct responses was below 50%, indicating insufficient understanding of basic reproductive health concepts. Limited knowledge was particularly evident in areas related to reproductive function, risk factors for reproductive health disorders, and appropriate preventive practices. These findings suggest that the majority of respondents had not received adequate or effective reproductive health information.In conclusion, mothers’ knowledge of reproductive health in Bulupoddo, Sinjai remains inadequate and falls below an acceptable level. This condition highlights the urgent need for comprehensive and culturally appropriate reproductive health education programs. Strengthening health promotion and community-based education, particularly through primary health care services, is essential to improve mothers’ knowledge and support better reproductive health outcomes.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS is an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(AIDS) disease, namely a collection of symptoms of the disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) found in human body fluids. This disease is a global health threat because cases continue to increase, so it requires substantially innovative health services with effective prevention such as educational counseling, and counseling by health workers, it is very important to pay attention to how the disease is transmitted. This disease counseling provides general information on preventing HIV AIDS with the hope that sufferers will continue to live socially well, improve their quality of life and prevent new cases and improve continuous treatment services for sufferers. Counseling with lecture, discussion and question and answer methods by both sufferers and the general public, prevents unpleasant stigma and discrimination in society against HIV AIDS sufferers, the results of this activity found that 80% of respondents knew about HIV/AIDS and 20% of respondents did not know, therefore this counseling provides information to the public that what should be avoided is the disease, not the sufferer.
