The Status of AIDS/HIV Education in the Professional Preparation of Preservice Elementary Teachers

Abstract:
This article is the result of a survey of 197 institutions with professional education programs that examined to what extent pre-service elementary school teachers are prepared for providing adequate instruction about AIDS. The results revealed that the typical elementary education major receives no more than one course where AIDS/HIV instruction is provided and this most likely is in a health education class.
