This book, prepared for families and teachers, discusses AIDS and how it can be avoided.
Abstract
The book is divided into three parts. Part one provides facts about AIDS: what it is; how it is transmitted; and how some teenagers, because of their sexual and drug activities, are at risk for contracting the disease. Part two provides parents with information for protecting their children from AIDS: helping children develop definite standards of good and bad behavior; setting good example; and helping children resist peer pressures to engage in dangerous activities. Part three provides sources of information about AIDS, including publications about AIDS and how to obtain them.
