“life skills-based education” to teach HIV prevention
The World Health Organization and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recommend “life skills-based education” (LSBE) on HIV/AIDS for promoting sexual and reproductive health in students. This includes teaching students how to obtain and use condoms, and how to avoid the influence of alcohol and drugs. Research evidence showed that LSBE is effective in reducing students’ high-risk behaviours that can lead to unwanted pregnancies, abortion, sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS without hastening sexual debut.
