The American Academy of Pediatrics offers answers for parents about HIV/AIDS. Intended for adults, this site may also provide basic information for high school students.
In the Classroom
Offer this site as one of many sources for student research during your HIV/AIDS unit in health class. Challenge students to shift perspective and think about how they would tell a younger sibling or their own (future) child about HIV/AIDS.
At Home
Straightfoward clinical information on what HIV is, how you can contract an HIV infection, and also a list of ways you cannot contract HIV. This is a great page for pure clinical advice with no behavioral overtones.
