(a) The state board shall provide information
stressing the moral aspects of abstinence from sexual activity in any
literature that it distributes to students and young adults concerning
available methods for the prevention of the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV). The literature must state that the best way to prevent HIV
transmission as a result of sexual activity is for young people to refrain
from sexual activity until they are ready as adults to establish, in the
context of marriage, a mutually faithful monogamous relationship.
(b) The state board may not distribute HIV literature described in
subsection (a) to students without the consent of the governing body of
the school corporation the students attend.
