Wanted: AIDS Education That Works

Abstract:
Large numbers of our adolescent students have already been infected with HIV and are now unknowingly infecting others. If the education community fails to address the HIV epidemic with unprecedented energy, the author warns, we are surely sentencing thousands of our students to premature deaths. This article describes the major barriers to effective HIV education and provides an overview of what the author feels needs to be done to overcome these barriers and provide effective HIV prevention education.
