Everyone who has unprotected sex with an infected person is at risk of contracting HIV, but people who already have another sexually transmitted disease (STD) are even more at risk. HIV can be spread sexually from a guy to a girl, a girl to a guy, a guy to a guy, and a girl to a girl. Sharing needles to inject drugs or steroids is another way that HIV can be passed to other people. Sharing of needles for tattoos, piercings, and body art can also lead to infection.
Lehighton Area School District. The Lehighton Area School District is located just north of the Blue Mountain range extending along the Lehigh River in Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The district is composed of four communities which are served by the Lehighton Area School District over a sixty-seven-square-mile area. East Penn Township is to the south of the town/borough of Lehighton; Mahoning Valley is to the west along route 443 and Franklin Township is located on the east side of the river.
The Borough of Lehighton is situated upon the western bank of the Lehigh River, in southern Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Originally settled by the German Moravian Brothers as Gnaden Huetten (Cabins of Grace), the Lehigh River provided easy transportation for the early settlers and, indeed, throughout much of the early life of the current Borough.
