Well, it is assumed wrong.These are all situations that are assumed to have been learned before the student reaches a grade level that has actual "health class". You might as well add a class teaching how to tie your shoes as well. Personally I have yet to meet a high school student who didn't know how to not get the flu or how to eliminate it or the same with chicken pox.
In the matter of reproduction and STD's though, the age of the students when these items are taught are when they are able to start reproducing and also more likely to get an STD.
