Have any of you talked to the younger set about Aids. I was frightened to
discover the number of teens that remain ignorant to the threat Aids can pose
to their young lives. Part of that danger is the inability to get testing.
Because of their ages it's not readily and affordably available. Once you've
convinced a teen that what they've been doing may have harmed them, many of
them then have no where to turn. It's not easy to go home and say, "Hey
Mom/Dad can I use the BC/BS card and run down to the lab for an HIV test." Go
to the family doctor...you mean the one who's known you before you did? Got to
be kidding. What advise can you give such youngsters, what kind of help?
Should the schools offer some kind of a program?
