The sampling method employed a purposive sampling at SLTP X in Jakarta whose subjects fulfilled the inclusive criteria. The intrinsic and extrinsic factors were explored.

The extrinsic factors (involving external source of information, information from parents, facilities, information from other people, and community stigma) were significantly correlated with contagious risk behavior among students. Based on this findings, it is imperative to improve knowledge through communication, information, and education on HIV/AIDS prevention factors from contagious risk behavior of junior high school students.
