Utah schools should teach students about the importance of getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases, according to an updated state health curriculum approved Friday by the State Board of Education. State board members added the point about the importance of early detection at the urging of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Planned Parenthood and about a dozen high school students who spoke at the board's meeting. "If they're sexually active, they should get in and get tested and that should be taught and encouraged," said Liz Zentner, health commissioner with the state PTA. Teachers were allowed to talk about testing before, but it wasn't an explicit part of the curriculum, said Frank Wojtech, health and physical education specialist at the State Office of Education.
