  • Title: Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome education in schools. American Academy of Pediatrics. Committee on Pediatric AIDS.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1998 May; 101(5):933-5. PubMed ID: 9565429.
    Abstract:
    The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic has grown during the past 15 years. Education remains a critical component of our efforts to prevent HIV infection/AIDS in school children and young adults. To accomplish this goal, school personnel should receive updated information about HIV infection/AIDS so that accurate teaching on this topic can be included in the K-12 health education curriculum. Informed pediatricians and nurses can serve as important resources for school health services and administration to provide current information for the curriculum. Each community should have a school health advisory committee that enlists community support and provides input to health education programs in schools.
