This course focuses on condom information and demonstration. It begins with the gym teacher introducing a special visitor in Health class. The visitor gives a comprehensive overview and complete demonstration of all condoms and the appropriate way to use them. Male, female, latex, polyurethane, natural skin, ribbed, studded, sensation, thin, extra thick, lubricated and other condoms are discussed as are water, silicone and oil based lubricants with the advantages and risks of each type of lubricant. She also discusses all possible prevention methods, including emphasizing abstinence as the safest method to avoid STDs and pregnancy.

SH.8.AI.2

Adolescents can and should avoid pregnancy and STD/HIV/AIDS.

SR.I.1

Most adolescents do not engage in risky sexual behavior.

SR.I.2

Individuals who are infected with STD/HIV may not have any signs or  symptoms but can transmit the infection to others.

SR.I.3

There are strong personal, medical and relationship building reasons for teenagers to abstain from sexual contact.

SR.I.6

Individuals who use drugs are more likely to acquire STD/HIV.

SR.I.8

The only two effective ways to avoid pregnancy and most STD infection are abstinence or using protection correctly and consistently each time an individual engages in sexual contact.

SR.C.3

Sexual transmission of STD/HIV/AIDS is not a threat to those uninfected individuals who engage in a mutually monogamous sexual relationship.

SR.C.4

An individual is at greater risk of STD/HIV infection by having one or more sexual partners who are at increased risk by engaging in sexual contact that results in the exchange of body fluids (i.e., semen, vaginal secretions, blood).

SR.C.6

Individuals who engage in sexual contact need to properly use a latex/polyurethane condom each and every time to reduce the likelihood of unwanted pregnancy or infection with STD/HIV.

SR.C.7

Latex/polyurethane condoms provide protection against pregnancy, most STD and HIV.

SR.C.9

Latex/polyurethane condoms are not 100% effective; however they provide  the best protection for individuals who are not abstinent and do not maintain a mutually monogamous sexual relationship with an uninfected partner.

SR.C.10

Correct and consistent use of a latex/polyurethane condom does not guarantee absolute protection against pregnancy and STD/HIV.

SR.C.11

Individuals who have engaged in behaviors that have put them at risk for STD/HIV need to take precautions not to infect others, to seek counseling and antibody testing and advise previous and current sexual and/or drug partners to receive counseling and testing.
