The teens and twenty-somethings who speak candidly in this film never thought that AIDS could be part of their worlds. They offer an empowering lesson in prevention, urging viewers to draw the line and make healthy choices while there is still time. "No glove, no love" or abstinence: the idea is to take responsibility and learn the facts. AIDS doesn't just happen to prostitutes and junkies. High school and college students have the fastest growing number of new HIV diagnoses. Hosted by Renee Russo and narrated by Julie Kavner, this is powerful viewing for teenagers. The sad and scary story of one young woman living with the burden of HIV diagnosis makes the danger of unsafe sex all too clear; HIV is invisible and people can and do lie. Highly recommended.
