The instrument used in this study was questionnaire. The result for HIV- AIDS risk factors by implementing VCT showed p value = 0.012 < α = 0.05, this means there is a significant association between the risk factor (unsafe sexual behavior) with the implementation of VCT, so it is advised to health workers to improve their approach in the provision of counseling and motivation on HIV / AIDS especially on VCT services to reduce the transmission of HIV / AIDS.
