Bali is a tourist area consisting of 9 districts / cities namely, Jembrana, Tabanan, Badung, Gianyar, Klungkung, Bangli, Karang Asem, Buleleng, Denpasar. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency, the number of foreign tourists to Bali in 2019 was 2.84 million. Therefore the risk of transmission of various kinds of diseases is increasing, one of which is STI. The transmission rate tends to increase from previous years. HIV cases that occur in Bali can be triggered by the incidence of STIs. Efforts that are far earlier in the prevention of STIs among them such as the provision of education. This is in line with one of the roles of colleges in the Tri Darma college is community service. To answer these conditions, direct action needs to be carried out to the public in the form of education in an effort to prevent the incidence of STIs and furthermore HIV events.

Sexual transmitted infection (IMS) is a risk factor for HIV events. HIV infection is a harmful condition due to a decrease in the immune system. The impact of the decline in the immune system is easily attacked by the body of sufferers by foreign objects so that other infectious diseases can emerge. Other diseases that occur can be accumulated and lead to death because there are no systems that improve conditions. Bali is an area with HIV cases quite high. The number of tourist visits both at home and abroad can trigger the occurrence of STI and HIV.
