Abstract

High-risk pregnancies require proper early detection to prevent complications that can harm both mother and fetus. In the Batak community in Medan Tuntungan District, there are still challenges in aligning traditional cultural practices with modern medical procedures related to high-risk pregnancy screening. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of pregnant women about the importance of high-risk screening based on an educational Batak cultural approach. The program was carried out on March 15, 2024 through interactive counseling methods, early detection demonstrations, and discussions on local wisdom in safe pregnancy care. The results of the evaluation showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding of pregnancy hazards and the importance of routine check-ups according to medical standards. This education is expected to encourage pregnant women to be more proactive in conducting high-risk screening, so that pregnancy complications can be identified and handled early optimally.

Abstract

Pregnant women at high risk of HIV/AIDS transmission often face severe psychosocial challenges due to negative stigma from the surrounding environment, which can ultimately hinder access to health services and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PPIA). This community service activity aims to provide education about risk perception and deconstruct the stigma of HIV/AIDS for high-risk pregnant women and their families in Medan Tuntungan District. The program was implemented on July 16, 2024 through interactive counseling methods, educational dialogues, and counseling sessions to dissect misperceptions related to HIV transmission. The results of the evaluation showed an increase in participants' understanding of the real risk of HIV transmission and a shift in more supportive attitudes in the family environment. This education is expected to reduce stigma, improve compliance with antenatal examinations, and support efforts to effectively prevent HIV transmission in the community.
