The purpose of ASPIRA's Comprehensive HIV-AIDS Prevention Curriculum is to inform Hispanic youth and parents about the HIV-AIDS epidemic and to promote positive healthy decision-making and academic advancement.

This curriculum strives to meet its purpose by being culturally competent and by addressing the specific needs of Hispanic youth. In fact, this tool supports linguistic competence, abstinence among teens, particularly younger ones, and communicating with family and adult role models. Furthermore, it is skill-based and focuses on experiential learning and on establishing positive healthy behaviors. Rather than emphasizing the medical aspects of HIV, this curriculum teaches skills in decision-making, assertiveness, and communication. It also affirms sexuality as a positive, healthy aspect of human development in an effort to encourage young people to adopt positive healthy behaviors.
