Abstract: A survey research design cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Wattana- Nakorn district (during the period of 25 January to 25 February 2006.) The aim was to identify participation of Village Health Volunteer on HIV/AIDS prevention and control programme. The study strived to identify and explain sociodemographic factors, psychosocial factors, and source of information of VHV, on HIV/AIDS prevention and control programmes. Data were collected from 300 VHV using self administered questionnaires. Chi-Square tests were carried out to determine association between independent and dependent variables. Results of this study revealed that nearly one half of respondents (42 percent) had poor participation in HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities; 30.33 percent had fair participation; and the rest 27.67 percent had good participation. However, significant association existed between perception concerning and participation (p < 0.001). In terms of information source, TV/Video, news paper, health magazine, health personnel, friend, and family member had also found significant association with the participation. It is highly recommended that community participation in HIV/AIDS prevention and control and VHVs system should be continued and maintained. It is essential to provide refresher training courses and motivational supportive programmes to increase VHVs knowledge so that their participation can be increased. It is also necessary to overcome the existing situation of poor participation and encourage VHV’s involvement in prevention and control of HIV/AIDS.
