The program aims to improve knowledge, change attitudes and behaviors for students in preventing HIV/AIDS infection, creating a friendly environment, without stigma and discrimination against infected people. At the same time, this creates conditions for students to access health check-up services, minimizing the risk of infection for students at the Provincial Drug Rehabilitation Center.
