Teens Talk: How To Protect Yourself In The Age
Of AIDS
In today's society, the pressure teens face to become sexually active
is tremendous. As a result, teenagers are at great risk for contracting
HIV. Since 1985, nearly 100,000 people between ages 20 and 29 have developed
AIDS. As it can take ten years or more for someone infected with HIV
to develop AIDS, many of these people were infected in their teens.
Teens Talk: How to Protect Yourself in the Age of AIDS discusses the
risk of contracting HIV in a way teenagers will understand-through the
comments of their peers. Relating their experiences in an open, conversational
manner, teenagers of diverse racial backgrounds and sexual orientations-some
HIV-positive-talk about the pressure to have sex, misconceptions about
sexually-transmitted diseases and who can get them, how teens often
engage in risky behavior, and how to stay safe. How to get tested for
HIV, who should be tested, how individuals who test positive, their
families and peers handle the results, and how having HIV changes a
young person's life are discussed with candor and clarity. ©1997

AIDS: Stopping The Spread Of HIV
Designed to reach young, sexually active people, this program reviews
ways of contracting the HIV virus that causes AIDS and suggests ways
to minimize exposure. Viewers are educated about: myths, fallacies,
and the truth about how a person can get HIV; how to practice "safer"
sex, and abstinence as an option; how the sharing of needles for drug
use increases risk; how to keep from giving HIV/AIDS to someone else
and when to be tested for HIV. A person who has been HIV-positive for
ten years and has recently developed full-blown AIDS comments that "The
disease is your enemy, and the more you know about your enemy, the better
you can fight it." After watching this program, viewers will be prepared
with the facts they need to protect themselves against HIV/AIDS. A young
woman in the program gives good advice: "Just because you haven't been
safe before doesn't mean you can't start now." ©1996

Positive: A Journey Into AIDS
Michael Sutton (Stone) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin), who portray a
couple battling AIDS on the ABC daytime drama, General Hospital, are the
subjects of this powerful documentary. This program tracks their experiences
as they learn about HIV and AIDS from real men and women living with the
disease. In an attempt to understand the tragedies of AIDS, Michael and
Kimberly visit various locations, including hospices and the AIDS quilt.
Both actors personally confront AIDS and HIV for the first time as they
thoroughly research their roles. They learn quickly that the virus does
not discriminate--it attacks people of all ages, sexes and races. They
learn the ways the virus is transmitted. Kimberly gets tested for the
virus and discovers why it is important to be tested if you think you
may be at risk. They meet with patients in a hospice who have less than
six months to live and discuss with them how they got the virus and how
they are confronting the prospect of an early death. In one particularly
moving moment, Kimberly returns to a hospice she had visited a week earlier
to read a story to one of the patients only to find that he had passed
away during the interim. Positive: A Journey Into AIDS is an informative
and moving presentation about AIDS and its victims that should be seen
by everyone. CHRIS Statuette --- Columbus International Film & Video Festival.

they can and cannot get the AIDS virus. Tammy has been symptom-free for

AIDS: Everything You Should Know (2nd Edition)
Whoopi Goldberg joins USC medical professor Dr. Alexandra Levine in presenting
the facts on HIV/AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Students learn
that AIDS is a deadly condition caused by a virus known as HIV (Human
Immunodeficiency Virus), which destroys the body's immune system. They
also learn the various ways in which HIV is passed from one person to
another--- primarily through unprotected sexual intercourse and shared
drug needles or syringes---and how to avoid contracting HIV. In a forthright
approach to human sexuality, and the hazards of STDs including HIV/AIDS,
abstinence is emphasized as the safest course of action. In the program,
teens explain why young people experiment with sexual intercourse, giving
such reasons as curiosity, a need to belong, wanting to feel grown up,
or to defy their parents. Students also give reasons for avoiding sexual
involvement, including the desire not to get pregnant or contract STDs,
religious beliefs, lack of emotional readiness, and having important plans
for the future. Students are encouraged to postpone sexual involvement
until a faithful, monogamous relationship develops during adult life.
