Selection criteria included publications from 2019 to 2024. The results showed that education has been carried out by various existing organizations and has been successful in raising awareness in some communities. However, in some journals, social stigma towards individuals infected with HIV and AIDS is still a challenge that makes it difficult to track and treat. The discussion shows that despite effective education in tackling sexually transmitted disease infection. However, challenges such as social stigma and limited access to information and health services in various regions in Indonesia must be overcome. Overall, reducing STI rates in Indonesia requires a multi-sectoral approach, including the government, non-governmental organizations and communities. Policies that support education, access to health services, and stigma reduction must be effectively implemented to achieve better public health goals. HIV and AIDS in Indonesia requires special handling to emphasize the disease. This is due to the ugly stigma for people affected by the disease.
