AIDS: A Biological Perspective

This is a whiz-bang, graphics-loaded look at AIDS that will appeal to the young crowd it's intended for, while also providing valuable information for most audiences. From the initial reports of gay men being afflicted with a mysterious fatal illness in the early 1980s, AIDS has developed into the number one killer of people between the ages of 25 and 44 in the United States. The video is straightforward in its presentation and filled with interviews of patients, doctors, caregivers, and research­ers. Each of them views AIDS from a different perspective, and together with the graphics which demonstrate how the AIDS virus spreads to cells throughout the body, the video offers a diverse look at a topic about which there can never be too much information made available to the public.
