Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Making HIV testing a routine part of healthcare for adolescents and adults 13 to 64 years of age is one of the most important strategies recommended by the CDC for reducing the spread of HIV. Accurate measures of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the 15- to 24-year-old population are difficult to obtain because many affected people have few, if any, identifiable symptoms. Symptomatic adolescents who are suspected of having an STI cannot be excluded from school. Federal law stipulates that adolescents can go directly to a health departmentoperated STI clinic for diagnosis and treatment of their disease without parental consent.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The three phases during which introducing interventions is most likely to produce results are as follows: (1) the primary prevention or inoculation phase, which is designed to introduce knowledge; (2) the secondary prevention or early relevance phase, when information is likely to have meaning and applicability to students; and (3) the tertiary prevention or later relevance phase, when young people are actually being exposed to new situations involving experimentation.
