Brief summary: The goal of this community trial is to provide HIV education based on the newly developed HIV education kit (PREM-Kit) and evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV prevention among the late adolescents (aged 18 to 19 years old) in Malaysia. The main question it aims to answer is does the PREM-Kit improve the knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV prevention among the adolescent?

Participants will be asked to:

* answer a questionnaire as a baseline screening to determine their knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV prevention.
* Using PREM-Kit, they will participate in a series of health education sessions. There will be three sessions in total which will be delivered two weekly apart. Each of the sessions will take approximately 20 minutes duration.
* Following the last session (third session), participants will have to answer the same questionnaire ; once immediately after the last session, once at 3-months post-intervention, and lastly, at 4-months post-intervention.

Researchers will compare participants who received the existing Basic Science and Biology module to see if there is any improvement in the knowledge, attitude and practices related to HIV prevention.
