Early education on airborne infectious disease prevention will keep everyone safer, healthier, and at work and in school.\n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\">What is the solution to the challenge?</dt><dd id=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\" name=\"textarea\">\n\n<div>The solution is a 3-pronged education program. The first prong involves teaching students in grades K-12 in every NYC Public School throughout the school year. It could be similar to or incorporated with the current “HIV Lessons” modules that are taught in NYC Public Schools in grades K-5, five times per year, and in grades 7-12, six times per year. The second prong involves training teachers and school staff. The third prong involves workshops for families and caregivers.\n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"number-1727191411855-0\">Please provide your Zip Code</dt><dd id=\"number-1727191411855-0\" name=\"number\">\n\n<div>11201\n\n</div></dd></dl></xml>"]
