This initiative aimed to educate project staff, including local inhabitants of the Karanganyar region, about HIV/AIDS within the project context and strategies for its prevention and management. This community service contributes to its scientific domain, specifically the K3 Project, to assist the K3 programme. In 2021, there were 72 HIV cases reported in the Karanganyar district, with 53 cases in men and 19 cases in women. Given the significant prevalence of HIV in this area, awareness initiatives about HIV/AIDS are conducted near the dam project to clarify prevention activities, particularly targeting local project personnel. We conduct community service initiatives transparently within the project framework to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS, its characteristics, and preventive measures. Additionally, we facilitate a Q&A session with project personnel about HIV/AIDS. The outcome of implementing and periodically assessing community service initiatives involves distributing questionnaires following focus group discussions to ascertain the efficacy of HIV/AIDS awareness activities within the project context
