An educational approach to AIDS

An educational approach to AIDS

Informational video about AIDS and its transmission. At 5:57 a bar graph is shown displaying AIDS cases by a patient group from 1981-1986. 73% were noted to be homosexual/bisexual men.  6:08 in video it shows that 74% of the "high-risk group" is listed as homosexual or bisexual men. Discussed that the anus/rectum is made of delicate tissue and that the damage done by anal penetration allowed seamen infected by the virus to enter into the bloodstream. Goes on to say that vaginal intercourse is less likely to cause AIDS as vaginal tissue is "durable" and would not tear during penetration. At 13:02 it is stated that people who are high-risk should not donate blood.
