Living with AIDS

Most of us link death with AIDS, but the fact is that most people who have HIV or AIDS live for many years with the disease. This program from The Doctor Is In profiles several people with the HIV virus over the course of two years and examines the issues they face—issues of medication, handling the emotional ups and downs, dealing with family members, paying for medical care, and dealing with guilt. Profiled are a 25-year-old former drug abuser from New York City and her infected baby, currently “adopted” by a family to help care for the two; a 29-year-old female victim of sexual abuse; a musical composer and performer; and a steer-wrestler. In addition to exploring traditional medical care, the program also examines alternative therapies and social support systems. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (28 minutes)
