The increasing number of HIV in adolescents is caused by risky behavior carried out by adolescents. In this study, HIV risk behavior in adolescents was seen from two factors: free sex behavior and drug consumption. Heterosexual behavior contributed 19.6% and injecting drug consumption by 0.9% as the cause of HIV in Indonesia. This study determined factors associated with the prevention of HIV risk behavior in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia. 362 students in grades X and IX from 5 public high schools in Bukittinggi participated in this study. From September 2020 to February 2021, a cross-sectional study with this research design was conducted. The information was gathered using a questionnaire that followed the Indonesian Health Demographic Survey Instrument's instructions (IDHS). Then, the data were analyzed by bivariate analysis using Chi-Squere test and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. This study found that HIV risk behavior in the risky category was 17.96%, the low level of knowledge was found to be 48.90%, the low attitude was 32.87%, bad peers was 24.03%, and poor parental communication was found to be 64.09%. According to the results of the bivariate analysis, knowledge and peers were connected with a p-value of 0.000 and an OR of 3.68, which meant that peers who were unreliable had 3.68-times greater likelihood of engaging in risky behavior. According to the results of the multivariate study, knowledge, peer influence, and parental communication all had an R2 value of 0.11%, which indicated that they could anticipate 11% of HIV risk behaviors. The lack of knowledge and poor peers provided the opportunities for HIV risk behavior in adolescents in Bukittinggi.
