The results of the examination showed that one student was positive for anti-HIV, three students were positive for HBsAg, and two students were positive for anti-Treponema pallidum. The lifestyle of students had a significant effect on the prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B, and T. pallidum infections such as premarital sex, changing sexual partners, and oral and anal sex with a p value <0.05. The prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B, and T. pallidum infections in students in Cimahi City is 1.4% infected with HIV, 4.3% infected with Hepatitis B, and 2.8% infected with T. pallidum.
