Dear Parents/Guardians of 10th Graders:

During the 2013-2014 school year your son/daughter will study a Human Sexuality Unit as part of the 10th Grade Health Curriculum. We feel this is a very important and worthwhile unit for our students especially since tenth grade is the final year for health curriculum at Neshaminy.

The unit is designed to be comprehensive in nature and to complement lessons received in the 8th grade Health Education Unit. Abstinence (postponing sexual intercourse) is stressed throughout the unit while providing students accurate, up to date information about this complex portion of their lives.

We encourage you to review our unit content outline on the back of this sheet. We believe that parents are the primary sexuality educators with their children. Whenever possible, we hope you will initiate conversations with your children to discuss your family’s values and attitudes on these topics. If you have any questions about the unit please contact your son’s/daughter’s health teacher or the individuals listed below. Should you wish to have your child excluded from any portion of this unit, you need to contract your son’s/daughter’s health teacher or the Department Chairperson in writing.

Umbilical Cord

Prenatal Care Obstetrician Trimester

Ultrasound

Ectopic Pregnancy

Miscarriage FERTILIZATION Of the hundreds of millions of sperm that enter the vagina during sexual intercourse, only a few hundred make it to the egg, and only one can fertilize it. Within seconds, the surface of the egg changes so that no more sperm can enter the egg. In the first week after fertilization, the fertilized egg undergoes many cell divisions and travels to the uterus.

The Zygote Within 36 hours, while the zygote is traveling through the fallopian tube, it begins to divide.

Cell Division The original cell divides to make two cells, becoming an embryo. As the embryo travels toward the uterus, its cells continue to divide.

The Blastocyst About 5 days after fertilization, the embryo reaches the uterus, where it floats for a few days.

Implantation Once the blastocyst forms, it begins to attach itself ti the wall of the uterus.

Getting proper nutrition and exercise and avoiding drugs and environmental hazards are especially important both before and throughout pregnancy. The chances of having a healthy baby greatly increase when the mother is under the prenatal care of an obstetrician.

Opportunistic Infection

Asymptomatic Stage

HIV attacks Helper T cells. These helper T cells call other cells to help fight any infection. The HIV cells take over the T cells and destroy them while reproducing.

1 Asymptomatic Stage

2 Symptomatic Stage

3 AIDS

There are FOUR main ways that HIV can spread from person-to-person. Testing HIV Tests can be done anonymously. If you do test positive for HIV it is important that you contact all previous partners that you have had sex or shared needles with.You should also do follow up testing. People have been given false positive HIV test diagnosis. Even if your results are negative the tests may not register for six months after being infected.

Treatment The main goal of HIV treatment is to keep the person’s immune system functioning as close to normal as possible. (Viral load low, T cell count High)

A combination drug treatment called “triple drug cocktail” has been the most successful method used in recent years. Three different types of drugs have to be taken each day. They are large pills and there is a lot. They also have to be taken at the same exact time everyday or they will the no longer work. HIV will adjust and the person will have to start all over with new stronger treatment. The drugs themselves can make you very sick. It is not sure but people have been living longer healthier lives because of this treatment.

One million people in the United States had HIV infections in the year 2004. Medical costs for a person with HIV may be at least $30,000 per year.

Use this data to estimate the total cost of HIV infections in the United States in 2004. THEN answer the following question:

With today’s economy, why is HIV prevention such an important issue? 1. Explain how HIV affects the immune system and how it eventually leads to Aids.
