by Loren E. Acker; Bram C. Goldwater (With); William H. Dyson (With)

The topic of AIDS-prevention for teenagers in apparently low-risk groups is just beginning to receive a great deal of media attention. Stressing parental involvement, this book offers the first and only collection of practical, direct, and easily understood strategies for educating teenagers about responsible sex and AIDS.


From the publisher

This book gives parents and educators the crucial information on AIDS and shows them how to: *overcome embarrassment in talking with kids about sex *talk about AIDS and its prevention *make abstinence more likely or train kids to use condoms *get kids to rehearse and practice AIDS-proofing skills *help the schools with AIDS education. Talking about safer sex and AIDS with our kids is only the first step. It's time for all of us to do more to protect them.
