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.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is pleased to announce the availability of the School HIV/AIDS Policy Tool Kit. This 94-page document provides background information on HIV/AIDS, tools for districts to assess current policies and procedures, and guidance for school districts to develop or enhance policies and procedures related to HIV/AIDS.

We are still living in the age of AIDS, with our children increasingly at risk. We hope that this program will be useful to you and the young people for whom you care.
