Did you know…

•Every 9 ½ minutes (on average), someone in the U.S. is infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS
•Of the 18.9 million new cases of STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) each year, 1 million (48%) occur among 15-24 year olds.  
•A sexually active teen who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.  

At RealOptions we recognize the epidemic of Sexually Transmitted Infections, HIV and AIDS.  We provide STD & HIV/AIDS and Healthy Sexuality Education to middle and high school students, youth in the juvenile detention centers, and to various youth groups and teen centers in Santa Clara County.

Our goal is to provide medically accurate information, knowledge, and resources so that young people can make the right choices when it comes to their sexuality.  Our program is in compliance with the State of California’s Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education:

•To provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect his or her sexual and reproductive health from unintended pregnancy and STDs;
•To encourage a pupil to develop healthy attitudes concerning adolescent growth and development, body image, gender roles, sexual orientation, dating, marriage, and family.
