A modified-adapted questionnaire was used, which consisted of demographic data such as sex and religion and 15-item Likert scale statements about the awareness to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The statistical tools applied for data analysis were percentage, frequency distribution, mean and t-test. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Majority of the respondents were female and Catholic; 2) The respondents in the comparison group were moderately aware about the HIV infection during the pretest and posttest. On the other hand, the treatment group was fully aware about HIV infection before the health education program, and after the implementation of the health education program, remained fully aware obtaining the maximal level of awareness; 3) There was no significant difference in the level of awareness between comparison and treatment groups before and after the health education program. Moreover, there is significant difference after the health education program as evidenced by the improvement of the result in the posttest of the treatment group.
