Students will learn the symptoms and complications of each disease as well as the latest treatment options, including a new vaccine for HPV. Students will also understand how to prevent these infections by being informed and practicing safe sex. Program presents a strong message that abstinence is the only 100% guaranteed safeguard. ©2009
