Official statutory text

A. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention
education shall be taught in the public schools of this state. AIDS

disease AIDS and its spread and prevention. Students shall receive
such education:
1. at the option of the local school district, a minimum of
once during the period from grade five through grade six;
2. a minimum of once during the period from grade seven through
grade nine; and 3. a minimum of once during the period from grade
ten through grade twelve.
B. The State Department of Education shall develop curriculum
and materials for AIDS prevention education in conjunction with the
State Department of Health. A school district may also develop its
own AIDS prevention education curriculum and materials. Any
curriculum and materials developed for use in the public schools
shall be approved for medical accuracy by the State Department of
Health. A school district may use any curriculum and materials
which have been developed and approved pursuant to this subsection.
C. School districts shall make the curriculum and materials
that will be used to teach AIDS prevention education available for
inspection by the parents and guardians of the students that will be
involved with the curriculum and materials. Furthermore, the
curriculum must be limited in time frame to deal only with factual
medical information for AIDS prevention. The school districts, at
least one (1) month prior to teaching AIDS prevention education in
any classroom, shall conduct for the parents and guardians of the
students involved during weekend and evening hours at least one
presentation concerning the curriculum and materials that will be
used for such education. No student shall be required to
participate in AIDS prevention education if a parent or guardian of
the student objects in writing to such participation.
D. AIDS prevention education shall specifically teach students
that:
1. engaging in homosexual activity, promiscuous sexual
activity, intravenous drug use or contact with contaminated blood
products is now known to be primarily responsible for contact with
the AIDS virus;
2. avoiding the activities specified in paragraph 1 of this
subsection is the only method of preventing the spread of the virus;
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 70. Schools Page 531
3. sexual intercourse, with or without condoms, with any person
testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies,
or any other person infected with HIV, places that individual in a
high risk category for developing AIDS.
E. The program of AIDS prevention education shall teach that
abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain means for the
prevention of the spread or contraction of the AIDS virus through
sexual contact. It shall also teach that artificial means of birth
control are not a certain means of preventing the spread of the AIDS
virus and reliance on such methods puts a person at risk for
exposure to the disease.
F. The State Department of Health and the State Department of
Education shall update AIDS education curriculum material as newly
discovered medical facts make it necessary.
