Description
Summary:	This review describes the HIV prevention strategies adopted since 1990 by the Italian Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, coordinated by the National Health Institute, for use in Italian schools. It sets out reasons for believing that action in schools is essential in containing the spread of the HIV epidemic and presents teaching materials prepared for school use. An analysis is made of the IV national HIV information campaign, in which the Ministry of Health trained 4,000 middle and senior schools principals. The prospects for continuing the work with these 4,000 principals in the V information campaign, are also reported.
