The porpose of this study is to investigate the general status of AIDS and Sexuality Education in foreign countories.

And this Act gives parents the right to withdraw their children from a school's program of sex.

4, In Australia, HIV/AIDS is taught within the mandatory Year 7-10 Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Syllabus and the mandatory Year 11 and 12 Personal Development and Health 25 Hour Course. (The NSW)
