Book excerpt: The extensive progress that has been made in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment has been unable to quell the risk among 13 to 24 year olds in the United States. As such, prevention efforts directed towards this age group have been well researched. Focusing on college students as a representative segment of this risk population, many education efforts have been attempted with varying success. Theories of HIV/AIDS learning match well with the successful pieces of past education programs, and therefore provide a framework for creating a new teaching module. Incorporating both theoretical and practical information from past research, a new HIV/AIDS teaching module was created for incorporation into a university classroom. A new method of teaching HIV/AIDS was developed by adding the creativity, energy, and humor that has been advocated in the research and yet has been missing in many previous programs. The new approach presents information to a high-risk age group in a manner that is both easy for instructors to teach, and effective and interesting for students to experience.
