	HIV/AIDS Universal Precautions
	Although North Dakota remains the state with the fewest HIV infections in the United States, the number of infections steadily increases and the behaviors that transmit the disease are still present. North Dakota state law requires that all students be educated concerning significant contagious disease. The Department of Public Instruction recommends this education be a part of a health education curriculum. Instructional programs provide information about significant contagious diseases, methods of transmission, the means of protecting against contracting the diseases, the use of universal precautions, and prevention appropriate to specified grade levels. Instruction begins in Kindergarten and continues through Grade 12.
