Facing and avoiding AIDS

 

AIDS is a killer and destroyer, but many young people believe that it will attack someone else--not them. This dramatic documentary is designed to eliminate the myths and confusion that plague many teens today. In this video, people with AIDS and their families speak of the pain and devastation caused by the disease. Medical experts and health educators discuss in plain terms exactly what AIDS is and how it is contracted, along with the risks associated with "safe sex" practices. They also explain the one certain way to avoid infection. Providing facts and solutions young people will respect and comprehend, No Second Chance may give your students the gift of life--because with AIDS, there is no second chance.

"Thought the film really dealt with the issues upfront as well as gave a compassionate outlook and approach for those infected and affected by the AIDS virus." - Teacher, New York
"Very straight forward. Definitely showed that sex can very easily cause your death." - Family & Consumer Science Teacher, Missouri

Student reactions:
"They appreciated actual people that have AIDS describing the disease."
"Depressing, yet very informative. Many questions arose concerning the AIDS virus. Many students seemed to be concerned about friends and relatives who have been with multiple partners."
