The Truth about HIV

Infobase, (film distributor.). BBC (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: HIV/AIDS has claimed 34 million lives worldwide. But now, even though stigma remains, a diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. This inspiring film looks at the science keeping HIV at bay and examines the moral panic that erupted when the virus first took hold, leading many to isolate themselves. There are interviews from prominent figures-including Sir Elton John and Prince Harry, among others.
