AIDS is neither a gay men's disease, nor an adult disease: the sobering fact is that roughly half of all new cases worldwide are among women ages 13-24. Hosted and narrated by Jim Mundy, this no-nonsense video provides the latest facts about HIV/AIDS, explodes dangerous myths, discusses risky behavior, and clearly explains the testing and treatment processes. Interwoven throughout are several interviews with individuals now living with AIDS whose real-life stories lend a human face to the facts and figures. Adopting a practical, non-moralizing tone that avoids melodrama or scare tactics, yet still forces viewers to think about their own possibly risky behaviors and choices, AIDS Update comes with an in-depth curriculum that covers the loaded topic of teens' sexual choices in a realistic yet sensitive manner. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C. (E. Gieschen)
