HIV In High School

| 1 Comment

As we all await teenage vampire drama on the big screen, some real high school drama is unfolding in Missouri, where just last month it was reported that as many as 50 students may have been exposed to HIV.


HIV tests were offered to all students, and 97% of the 1,300 took the test. Here's to hoping that they pass. The New York Times reports that students will get the results this week. Thus far, one person has been confirmed as positive, and a health official there said, "We don't feel like we can release anything that would indicate who it was. We don't want witch hunts going on."


Amen to that.


Positively Yours,

Shawn

Pleasantly surprised that 97 percent of the students participated in the testing, after all the "panic." Touché to them.
