It is difficult for Government agencies to implement highrisk interventions for AIDS prevention

Which are the different ways to identify %26amp; work with highrisk groups for AIDS prevention?
Education...start with kids early. The family must be involved. Take the mystery away from sex and be open and honest about how this terrible disease is spread. Kids start having sex earlier than parents want to admit, and they have to face that fact. So, the parents must be educated, as well.


Free condoms should be offered to teens, if anyone is sexually active, they should be taught the importance of having physicals every year, and being checked for the virus. The importance of abstinence until they really know their partner should also be reinforced. But in reality, we must realize that probably won't happen.


I feel education is our number one intervention and should be started as early as children are able to understand.
