This article is about schools in the UK, but I have no reason to believe those in the US would fare any better. The level of ignorance regarding HIV among the teaching staff was ridiculous. Their willingness to spread outdated, misinformation intolerable. For most of these instructors, HIV, nor even health, was their field. However, if a teacher is going to discuss a matter in class, they should be competent on the matter. There's tons of widely, easily available & verifiable information concerning HIV on the net. Their indulgent ignorance is damaging & embarrassing to their profession, not to mention the children who might be + in their classes.
For more evidence of the ignorance regarding HIV, read the whole article, especially the comments.
Cya...
