This timely program reviews the latest new
information on HIV, explains precautionary measures that help to lower the risks of HIV
infection and also answers other frequently asked questions about this most lethal of
STDs. The FDA recently approved a rapid HIV diagnostic test kit that provides extremely
accurate results in minutes. Program explains the new test to teens and provides crucial
details on what it means if the test comes back positive. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that one-fourth of the approximately 900,000
HIV-infected people in the U.S. are not aware that they are infected. Since the
progression of the disease-—and the risk of spreading it to others—-is greatly
dependent upon swift response and treatment, there is a great need for young people to get
information about their HIV status as quickly as possible. The Teacher’s Resource
Book includes activities to help students consider whether their own behaviors are putting
them at risk of infection, and provides fact sheets to remind students of the dangers of
this deadly virus.
