The purpose of this study was to develop effective interventions to promote voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) for HIV/AIDS. The scale to measure the perceived benefits and barriers to using VCT was developed and its reliability and validity were examined. Correlational analyses revealed that the perceived benefits of using VCT was a significant predictor of help seeking preference to VCT. Based on these results, a leaflet that included VCT User’s Voice of adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s was developed. The results revealed the designed leaflet was effective in promoting interventions on VCT for HIV/AIDS.
