The word ¡Cuídate! means “take care of yourself,” which is the theme of this culturally-based program designed to reduce HIV sexual risk among Latino youth. Today all teens, including Latinos, face many health risks related to sexual behavior, such as pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV and AIDS. ¡Cuídate! helps Latino youth develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to reduce their risk for HIV. The program, recommended for use with grades 8-11, emphasizes risk reduction strategies such as sexual abstinence and condom use.
