HIV/AIDS & STD Prevention

Description

In this course students will learn about sexually transmitted diseases and infections and how to prevent them. In the first section, three students discover through Instagram that their favorite singer’s boyfriend has a herpes sore on his lip, which leads to a larger discussion of risks, symptoms, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and infections. In the second section, the characters learn about the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of HIV as a friend has recently been diagnosed with HIV. The final section demonstrates different types of male and female condoms and their uses. This science-based and age-appropriate course allows learners 12 and up to learn a wide breadth of material scientifically shown to increase their physical and psychological health while being readily accessible for parents to cover the material with their children. Abstinence and other STD, STI and pregnancy prevention strategies are discussed. Students’ understanding of HIV/AIDS and other STDs and STIs, and how they are contracted, is assessed throughout. This course is designed for middle and high school age students and approved by the Chicago Public Schools Office of School Wellness Programs but the content is also appropriate for adult learners. Content in this course aligns with CDC, New York and Texas Health Education Standards.
