The Number of children and adolescents who have contracted the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has increased to alarming levels. this increase impacts current and future school personnel who work with students with disabilities. We address the implications of the HIV disease in the classroom from two perspectives. First, we discuss some of the issues that surround working with students who have HIV disease, such as creating a supportive school climate, ensuring confidentiality, and implementing hygienic safeguards in the school setting. second, we address curricular considerations related to teaching students with special needs about HIV prevention, including who should provide the instruction, implications for teacher preparation programs, and suggested format and content of HIV education.
