It is very highly unlikely but chances are within the senior group of children, where HIV could spread if they were injecting drugs, sharing needles and syringes or risking themselves in sexual activities.

HIV is transmitted from person to person through blood or membrane contact with blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. Ways to get the virus include: Being born to a mother who has the virus (HIV can be passed to a fetus through the umbilical cord, through contact with body fluids during birth or through breast milk) HIV cannot survive in air, water or on things. You cannot get it from:

Since 1985 all donated blood in Singapore is tested for HIV and all contaminated specimens are destroyed. In addition, all persons engaging in high risk activities are advised not to donate blood. Therefore, the blood supply in Singapore is almost totally safe. There is absolutely no risk of catching HIV when donating blood because all equipment used (needles, syringes, tubing and containers) is sterile, used only once and thrown away.

It is not necessary or required that HIV-related information be shared with school personnel. However, it may be in the child's best interest for certain school personnel to be aware of a child's HIV infection. Decisions regarding disclosure and the type of educational setting needed for children with HIV infection or AIDS should be based on the behavior, neurodevelopmental level and physical condition of the child.

No cases of HIV transmission can be attributed to saliva. There are two reports of HIV transmission through an adult bite; in both cases blood was present, either from bleeding gums or from teeth being knocked out.

Around 90% of children contract the virus by mother to baby transmission. Children can also be infected via blood/blood products if these are not screened for HIV and by contaminated needles. Mother to baby transmission only accounts for about 2% of total HIV infections.

If you do not take any medication during your pregnancy, there is approximately a 20 to 30% chance that your child will be infected with HIV. You will want to look into the different risk reduction options available to you to decrease the chance of your child being infected. Heavy doses of AZT during pregnancy and given to the baby for six weeks after birth can reduce the baby's risk of HIV infection as low as eight percent.

Most likely yes. Much depends on where your child falls on the spectrum, but with your support, as well as that of doctors, therapists and teachers, your child should be able to attend school.

Most schools have a no-nit policy to control head lice outbreaks. Generally, when you have completed one pediculicidal treatment & one olive oil treatment (or two olive oil treatments) and a thorough nit combing and manually removed all nits, you can send your child back to school. At this point, there should be nothing left on the head that is capable of moving onto another head. However, this does not mean your child is lice free.

Orientation Evening / Curriculum Night is held as part of the first Family Meeting. Parents meet with teachers in the classroom to discuss the year's curriculum.

Students do not need to be kept out of school. The student with TB is being treated and will return to school when no longer able to spread TB. Students who have had TB in the past or latent TB do not need to be kept home as they cannot spread TB. Only students with active TB in the lungs need to be kept home until treatment has been started and are no longer able to spread TB.

A range of educational options are available for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Within South Australia, there are independent schools, Catholic Schools and state schools (Department of Education and Children’s Services).

A further one third attend special small classes in a variety of settings and the remaining third of students attend special schools.

The official recommendation is six days after the rash begins. They may return even earlier if all the lesions have crusted over before this time. However, despite what experts say, daycare facilities and schools often have their own idiosyncratic rules that may require the child to stay out longer than this. If this is the case, sometimes it is helpful to have a pediatrician come and talk with the daycare facility or school about what is medically the optimal time to exclude these children.

ADHD is a medical condition and the educational staff of a school are not qualified to diagnose ADHD. If you believe your child may have symptoms of ADHD, then you should consult with your family doctor, your child's pediatrician, or other licensed medical/mental health professional who is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Teachers and other school personnel can play an important role by evaluating your child's learning ability and determine educational deficits.

No, children with fever should stay at home. Giving a medication may reduce the fever for a few hours, but the child is still sick and likely contagious, exposing staff and classmates to illness.

Your dietitian will help you plan meals that can go to school with your child. Tuna, egg, or chicken salads are easy to carry in small plastic containers. Warm or chilled food can be carried in a small cooler or insulated bag, or wrapped in foil. There are many celebrations at school that involve food. It's very important for all the teachers and aides to know that your child cannot have the same treats that the other children get.

When your child complains of being sick, and has symptoms like sore throat, head cold, diarrhea, vomiting, or has had a fever greater than 100.4°F, in the last 24 hours, your child should remain at home. Keeping your child home when he or she is sick will permit your child time to recover and reduce the spread of illness to others. Please call and inform the school when your child is absent due to illness.
