Our Purpose:
Students Teaching Early
Prevention (STEP) on STD's is a program aimed at prevention of disease
through education. The program is supported by first and second year medical
students who travel to local middle schools to teach students, in a
non-judgmental manner, about the nature, transmission, and prevention of
various STD infection, especially HIV.
We recognize that the young people we will
address will be exploring their sexual feelings and may be experimenting with
the use of intravenous drugs now or in the future. Keeping that in mind, we
feel it is absolutely imperative that the material in this curriculum be
presented and discussed in a frank, non-judgmental manner. Abstinence from
sexual activity and from the sharing of IV drug needles will be stressed as
the best way to avoid HIV infection. Because everyone will not choose
abstinence, it is essential that information be presented on how to minimize
the risk of HIV infection and other STD infections.
Our goal is not to impose our values on the
audience. We simply seek to present the facts about STD infection and HIV
which will enable others to make educated decisions that will reduce the risk
of acquiring and transmitting STD's.
STEP on STD's requires attendance at two
lunchtime training sessions early in the fall, and we ask that all volunteers
commit to teaching at least two one-hour classes at a local middle
school.

If you are scheduled to do an STD
program, all you need is the teacher's manual.
If you are
scheduled to do a Heart Disease
program, the first group scheduled to teach that day will need to pick up the
video and stethoscopes from Gita Madan. You will also need to pick up
the demonstration organs on the second day from MacNider (e-mail Gita).
These should all be left at the school, and the last group teaching that day
should bring them back to UNC. The video and stethoscopes should be
returned to Gita and the organs should
be returned the same day to MacNider. The organs are sealed in plastic
bags. Please do not open these bags as it is a liability issue for the
school.
Directions to each school are included in the
Teacher's Manual
