Help needed

Hi! My name is Misha’el Richardson, and I am a teen staff writer for Sex, Etc.--a magazine and website dedicated to comprehensive sex ed--that is by teens for teens. I am writing an article about HIV, more specifically what we do and don’t learn about HIV in sex ed.

If you’d like to help, please answer the questions below and include your first name (it can be a fake name if you feel more comfortable), age and town or city and state. Please also leave an email where I can contact you for any follow-up questions.

Please note that you do not have to answer every single question! Just answer the ones that are relevant to you. Thank you!

Did you learn anything about HIV in sex ed? What?

Do you feel comfortable talking about getting tested for HIV and other STDs with a partner? Why or why not?

What myths or misperceptions have you heard about HIV?

Do you know anything about PEP or PrEP and prevention of HIV? What? Where did you learn this?
