The Latest About HIV and AIDS: What Every Student Still Needs to Know

Providing a concise but thorough up-to-date overview of information about HIV and AIDS, a pair of hosts address a wide variety of topics, including definitions (with accompanying cell animation), a description of the negative effects on the immune system, risky vs. cautious behaviors (regarding bodily fluids, limiting drinking for better cognizance, asking for and providing partner sex history, the female double standard, and casual contact), methods of getting tested, and treatments and medications. Interspersed throughout are clips of young people living with HIV, who talk about their experiences. Including a PDF teacher's resource guide, The Latest About HIV and AIDS also features segments on using male and female condoms. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
