Tiempos De Riesgo - Risky Times

Author: Jeanne Blake
Date Published: 1993


Spanish-language edition of Risky Times written by Jeanne Blake, a Boston-based television science reporter, with the assistance of six teenagers from Cambridge High School, that speaks directly to teenagers. Kids will listen to their peers-in this case, the six teenagers who share their thoughts on sex, AIDS, condom use, peer pressure, drugs, and decision-making. Myths are dispelled: You can't get AIDS if an infected person sneezes on you; you can get AIDS from sharing an infected needle, even just to pierce your ears. Questions about kissing are explored; hard truths are given unvarnished and unsweetened. The accuracy of the information is assured by the assistance of Dr. Jerome Groopman, an internationally respected Harvard AIDS researcher.
