Sec. 17. (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.
