STI’s: Playing With Fire

Grade: 8-9

More than 78% of all teenagers in the US report being sexually active in high school and most have only a vague idea of the risk they take. An honest and engaging presentation, this program details the dangers involved with early sexual contact. Presented in a straightforward factual manner, it graphically illustrates the cause and effects of sexually transmitted infections with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS.  Through activities, music, and demonstrations, students will learn about the global epidemic of AIDS, modes of transmission, and the short and long term consequences of early sexual activity. Using recent statistics and medical facts, abstinence is proven the only risk-free behavior.
