42 U.S.C. § 300ee–12: Provisions with respect…

Summary

States may use the federal grant payments they receive to pay for public information and prevention work about AIDS. That includes outreach for communities with many people at risk, general public campaigns, research and projects to lower infection risk, demonstration projects, and technical help for public agencies, nonprofits, schools, and employers. Money can also pay for training for health workers, emergency responders, teachers and school leaders; school-age education done after talking with local school boards; giving doctors and dentists updated information at least once a year with the latest science; starting to use the federal guidelines and model curriculum; and grants to public and nonprofit groups to build or expand education programs for people at higher risk, with preference for programs aimed at groups with clear evidence of infection.
