This research is a type of experimental research with a one group pre posttest design to test the effectiveness of audio-visual media in increasing the knowledge of housewives about HIV-AIDS. The results showed that knowledge obtained a significant value of 0.00 < α = 0.05 which means that there was a difference between before and after the audiovisual media intervention was carried out for housewives. So expected for the heads of related agencies, it is hoped that education to increase knowledge using audio visual can be a guideline for health workers and outreach workers in the implementation of providing education to the community.
