Do you agree that children diagnosed as having AIDS should be permitted to attend

public schools?

Yes, I believe children diagnosed with AIDS should be permitted to attend public
schools, and this stance is supported by medical and educational communities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HIV, the virus
that causes AIDS, is not spread through casual contact such as sharing classrooms,
playing, or eating together. The virus is transmitted through specific fluids, such
as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, and not through everyday
interactions. Therefore, there is no reason to deny these children
the opportunity to attend school or participate in normal activities.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
protect individuals with disabilities, including those with HIV/AIDS, from
discrimination. These laws ensure that children with HIV/AIDS are entitled to the
same education opportunities as any other student, provided their medical condition
does not interfere with their ability to participate in school.

Furthermore, inclusion in school helps promote understanding and reduces stigma.


Educating peers about HIV/AIDS can foster empathy and reduce fear or
misunderstanding about the condition. Public schools are required to provide
reasonable accommodations and ensure that children with HIV/AIDS are not
discriminated against, enabling them to thrive academically and socially.

In conclusion, children diagnosed with AIDS should be permitted to attend public


schools, as doing so aligns with principles of equality, non-discrimination, and
public health safety.
