Teens and AIDS! Why Risk It?

Abstract:
[Archived] This illustrated, large-print brochure presents information on AIDS for high school students and for out of school youth. It briefly describes what AIDS is, notes that AIDS is not just a gay disease, and says that you cannot tell if people are infected with the AIDS virus just by looking at them. AIDS is caught by having sex with someone infected with the AIDS virus or by sharing needles to inject (shoot) drugs. AIDS is not contracted from normal daily activities, or from drinking fountains, hugs and kisses, donating blood, sneezes and coughs, or being near someone who has AIDS. Prevention measures include abstinence, using condoms, and avoiding IV drug use.
