Increasing numbers of young people with HIV ask for sustainable, comprehensive and effective prevention programs. Since the targets are junior high school students, a school-based HIV prevention curriculum was developed to increase knowledge and to develop life-skills to prevent HIV infection through drug use and risky sexual behaviour. Teachers and schools were involved in the planning and implementation to improve the design of the intervention, and to increase ownership. Advocacy to local government and educational authority as well as to school management, students and parents and the involvement of religious and community leaders during the development and implementation process proved to be the key of success of this HIV prevention school program.
