Education for prevention of STIs to young people (2021 version) Standardized slides in youth education for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections-for high school students and for junior high school students.

The best strategy for preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is by educating the young. It is considered effective to provide such education by the age of 15-16 years (at the beginning of high school age), ideally before teenagers become sexually active. This guideline describes the framework and discusses the educational points for standard educational slides created by the Japanese Society for Sexually Transmitted Infections and the Japan Society of Adolescentology. A discussion of sexuality is also a discussion of human life, and the prevention of STIs is an important part of sex education. The Japanese Society for Sexually Transmitted Infections has a certification system for doctors and experts, and considers prevention education to be one of its key programs. In this revised version additional slides which are more easy to understand for junior high school students are shown.
