Sex Education and HIV Prevention Program

2008-2009

The San Diego Unified School District Sex Education and HIV Prevention Program is part of the Physical Education, Health and Athletics Department. Funding for the program is provided by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Comprehensive sex education programs are implemented in grades 6, 8 and 10/11. In addition, HIV prevention lessons are taught in grades 9 - 12. All programs follow the California Education Codes and reflect the District Health Standards. A Sex Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) is in place to review all lessons and support materials used in the classroom.Sex education includes more than the prevention of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.

The primary goals are to:

- Deliver accurate information to students

- Provide students a way to examine their attitudes and beliefs

- Assist students in the development of interpersonal skills

- Promote responsible behavior

Sex education and HIV prevention is part of the required Health/Life Skills Program for students in San Diego Unified School District.
