Evidence Summary, revised 2020
Rates of STIs and adolescent pregnancy in Saskatchewan indicate that ongoing sexual health education is important and necessary. Well-planned and implemented sexual health education programs have been found to be effective in helping youth reduce the risk of STI/HIV infection and unintended pregnancies. This evidence summary highlights the importance of comprehensive sexual health education and explains characteristics that make this type of education effective.
For more information about effective sexual health education, please see the complete literature review titled “Effective Evidence-Based Sexual Health Education for Youth”. The current summary was based on this literature review, as well as updated guidelines (e.g., SIECCAN’s 2019 Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education).

The Latest about HIV and AIDS: What Every Student Still Needs to Know
Video, 2012
There is still no cure for AIDS, and teens and people in their 20’s account for many of the new cases of HIV infection. Using crisp animations, the program clearly details how HIV invades CD4 cells and weakens the body’s immune system and can lead to AIDS. The program debunks myths about how the virus is transmitted and identifies those behaviours that do, and do not, put people at risk of HIV infection. The program reviews the most recent information on HIV testing and stresses the importance of treatment for protecting one’s health and the health of others. A variety of HIV-positive people describe how they got infected, why they got tested, and how their lives have been affected by the virus.
Two supplemental programs are included on this DVD – How to Use a Female Condom and How to Use a Male Condom. These programs use graphics to demonstrate the proper way to use a condom. Before using these optional programs, you may need to check with your school’s policy on sex education as to whether parental permission is required.
