Infection Control, an AIDS Update (Scene Three, Inc., 1987)

This video for health care providers caring for patients with HIV/AIDS seeks to counter fear and uncertainty by offering facts from trained medical personnel about conditions and situations that are and aren't risky in health care settings. It offers the latest facts on AIDS and practices to prevent cross-infection in hospitals in particular, and acknowledges that providers can feel challenged in trying to serve their patients and protect themselves, too.
