Biak, Papua (ANTARA News) - At least 40 junior high-school teachers in Biak Numfor District, Papua, attended a life skill education program on HIV/AIDS.

The teachers were expected to become facilitators of HIV-AIDS awareness campaigns within their school environment, Wayan Jana, coordinator of the HIV/AIDS education program, said here on Saturday.

"This program will show the teachers how HIV/AIDS infection spreads, and they are expected to pass on the knowledge to their students," Jana said.
