Abstract

This research aimed to examine the association between pregnant women’s knowledge and their involvement in HIV testing at the Nisam Health Center, North Aceh Regency. The study was motivated by the relatively low level of participation among pregnant women in HIV screening, which is crucial for early identification and prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission. A quantitative analytic method with a cross-sectional design was applied. The study population included all pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) services at the Nisam Health Center, and 60 participants were chosen through purposive sampling. Data were obtained using structured questionnaires and analyzed with the Chi-Square statistical test. The findings indicated that more than half of the respondents (31 women or 53.4%) demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge, while most participants (44 women or 75.8%) had undergone HIV testing. The statistical results showed a significant correlation between the respondents’ knowledge level and their participation in HIV testing (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Therefore, it can be inferred that higher knowledge among pregnant women increases the likelihood of their engagement in HIV screening. Health professionals are encouraged to strengthen educational efforts and counseling to enhance awareness of the importance of HIV testing during pregnancy as a preventive measure against vertical transmission.

Abstract

Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents has become an urgent public health concern in North Aceh due to increasing reports of risky behaviors and limited access to accurate reproductive health information. The study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of premarital sexual knowledge and sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeris 1 Nisam, North Aceh Regency. This research used a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of students of SMA Negeri 1 Nisam, and the sample was selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing knowledge and sexual behavior and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of premarital sexual knowledge (49.4%) and mild premarital sexual behavior (73%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between the level of premarital sexual knowledge and adolescent sexual behavior (p-value = 0.003; ? = 0.05). It can be concluded that adolescents with better knowledge of premarital sex tend to exhibit more responsible and less risky sexual behaviors. It is suggested that adolescents should enhance their understanding of reproductive health and sexual education from credible sources to prevent misconceptions and risky behaviors.
