This ERIC Digest explores issues connected with AIDS/HIV education in public K-12 education by addressing five concerns: (1) Why are teenagers at risk? (2) What should be taught when? (3) Who should teach it and in what department? (4) How should teacher training prepare teachers to handle classroom, inservice, and community outreach HIV educational programs? (5) How can school boards avoid or deal with controversy? If comprehensive health education has been effective in reducing smoking and teen pregnancies, this Digest concludes that AIDS/HIV education may reduce this disease's incidence. (JAM)
