ILLINOIS: Educators, Others Learn About HIV

Windy City Times (Chicago) (10.28.09) - Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Educators, program facilitators, and others were among those taking part in a recent forum, "HIV: Hey, It's Viral!" hosted by United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. A key topic of discussion was the need for city schools to implement a modernized sex education curriculum. The meeting included a screening of a 20-minute documentary by the group Beyondmedia that presents HIV-related facts for at-risk youths ages 12 to 18. For more information, visit www.beyondmedia.org.
