Preventing Transmission of HIV at Schools and Other Educational Institutions

All schools and other educational institutions should implement universal precautions to prevent transmission of HIV and other blood-borne diseases. A full list of the precautions that should be taken is given in the document Universal Precautions for preventing disease transmission in schools.

A fully equipped first-aid kit should be available wherever contact play or contact sport takes place. All schools have been supplied with first-aid kits by the WCED.
