Students at a suburban St. Louis high school headed to the gymnasium for HIV testing this week after an infected person told health officials as many as 50 teenagers might have been exposed to the virus that causes AIDS. (Up to 50 Teens Exposed to HIV at Missouri High School - )
A teacher in a neighboring district singled out a girl who dates someone at Normandy High and instructed her to get tested, Hochstedler said. A competing school's football team initially balked at playing Normandy's 8-0 team.
Marcus Holman, a 14-year-old freshman, said he never imagined HIV would become such a widespread threat at school.
"I'm just trying to pass, get to the next grade, safely," he said.
(It is sad that today's high school students have to worry about this. However this is what we get for letting value free sex education in our culture and in at least some government schools. I hope in your home you are teaching young people value and Bible based sex education.)
