Estonia: HIV Gaining Ground Among Schoolchildren in TallinnSeptember 27, 2001 HIV is gaining ground among the students of the Estonian school in Tallin. Estonians' proportion among the infected has risen to 30 percent. Whereas some time ago the ratio of Russian-speaking and Estonian HIV-infected was 90 to 10, the ratio now is 70 to 30. Greta Lehtla, nurse and social worker with the AIDS prevention center, said that more and more students are turning to the center to be tested out of fear. Lehta said she is convinced that poor health education in schools is at the root of the problem.
