The Age of AIDS
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/
“On the 25th anniversary of the first diagnosed cases of AIDS, FRONTLINE examines one of the worst pandemics the world has ever known. After a quarter century of political denial and social stigma, of stunning scientific breakthroughs, bitter policy battles and inadequate prevention campaigns, HIV/AIDS continues to spread rapidly throughout much of the world. Through interviews with AIDS researchers, world leaders, activists, and patients, FRONTLINE investigates the science, politics, and human cost of this fateful disease and asks: What are the lessons of the past, and what can be done to stop AIDS?”

FRONTLINE would like your help in assessing how "The Age of AIDS" can be most valuable in the classroom. If you teach HIV/AIDS education at the high school level, please click here:

to tell us more about your experiences and what you feel is needed in HIV/AIDS curricula.

Your input will assist us in shaping a DVD module featuring selected segments of the film, and a teacher's guide that best addresses the needs of educators and students. These classroom toolkits will be available in Fall 2006. Please send your request for a toolkit directly to Outreach_Frontline@wgbh.org .

This teacher's guide will be of particular interest to History, Social Science, Science, Health, American Government, Current Events, and Economics educators.
