Penguatan Literasi dan Lingkungan Sosial sebagai Upaya Transformasi Paradigma Masyarakat terhadap HIV/AIDS
Public stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS (ODHA) remains a major obstacle in efforts to control the HIV epidemic. Health literacy and the social environment play a role in shaping the public's perception of ODHA. This study aims to analyze the influence of literacy and the social environment on public stigma within a community-based community service framework. The study used a cross-sectional analytical design. The study was conducted in the Salimbongan Community Health Center (Puskesmas) area of ​​Pinrang Regency from October to December 2025. A sample of 200 respondents was selected purposively. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Analysis was performed using univariate, bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Some respondents still exhibited stigma against ODHA. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge, perceptions, family attitudes, and community leaders' attitudes with stigma (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that community leaders' and family attitudes were the most dominant determinants of public stigma after controlling for other variables. Strengthening literacy alone is not sufficient to reduce stigma. Community-based interventions involving key social actors are more effective in transforming societal attitudes toward HIV/AIDS.

Penguatan Edukasi Kesehatan Berbasis Faktor Risiko untuk Pencegahan dan Deteksi Dini Diare pada Balita
Diarrhea remains a major cause of morbidity in toddlers and is often influenced by behavioral factors, sanitation, and maternal knowledge. This situation is also evident in the Mangasa Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area, where the proportion of toddlers who are not exclusively breastfed remains high, clean water use is suboptimal, and the majority of mothers have low levels of knowledge regarding diarrhea prevention and early detection. Based on these conditions, this community service activity was conducted to improve the ability of mothers of toddlers to prevent and recognize early signs of diarrhea through risk-factor-based health education. The implementation method included counseling, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of clean and healthy living practices, with success measured through pre-post knowledge questionnaires, behavioral observations, and short interviews. The results of the activity showed an increase in mothers' understanding of the causes of diarrhea, the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, clean water use, and initial actions when toddlers experience diarrhea. Behavioral changes were also seen in handwashing practices and improved drinking water storage. These findings indicate that risk-factor-based health education is effective in strengthening diarrhea prevention efforts in toddlers and has the potential to have long-term impacts on family health.
