I saw this story a few days ago on the news, but I wanted to see how it developed before I wrote about it. When the story initially aired it was brief coverage about how the school was being tested for “possible” exposure to the HIV virus.
Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed, but the district is consulting with national AIDS organizations as it tries to minimize the fallout and prevent the infection — and misinformation — from spreading.
Hochstedler said that as far as he knows, no other district has had to handle a similar situation. Students at the school of 1,300 are being tested, and the district is getting advice on the best ways to support kids in crisis.

Can you imagine having to deal with such an adult situation at only 14 years old.
The horrible part is that the school officials have yet to release the student’s name who has the virus.
I personally feel it is wrong to keep all the other students on edge and worried about their future when one student went around with no regard for human life.
Furthermore, if the person in question was aware he/she was infected with the virus and knowingly spread it through campus, are criminal charges going to be brought against this individual?
