- Abstract
The article reports on the finding that majority of schools offer health education courses in grades six to 12 that address sexual and reproductive health. In schools where health education is required to include HIV instruction, virtually all courses cover how the virus is transmitted and the benefits of sexual abstinence but the efficiency of condoms in preventing infection and the correct use of condoms are taught far less often of schools have a written policy regarding students or staff infected with HIV; among the areas addressed in these policies are confidentiality and protection from discrimination.
