Through a series of dramatizations, this video provides information about HIV relevant to women of childbearing age. The dramatizations include situations in which a woman has just met a new man with whom she is becoming sexually involved, a pregnant woman who has used IV drugs, and a pregnant woman whose husband once used drugs and who now wonders whether she should be tested for HIV. Strategies are suggested for negotiating condom use with a partner. Advice is provided for deciding whether or not to be tested for HIV, including an admonition to get counseling in conjunction with testing. Information about cleaning IV drug works is provided in a musical rap.
This video will be most effective with urban women who have used IV drugs or whose sexual partners have used IV drugs. It provides basic information about HIV and AIDS while acknowledging that some women will continue to use drugs. It also provides specific suggestions for negotiating condom use with a partner and for deciding whether or not to be tested for HIV antibodies. Correct use of a condom is not demonstrated. The video includes a rap music demonstration of cleaning IV works, but the lyrics may be difficult for some viewers to understand. The script is sometimes written in a stilted and overly technical style that does not fit the characters. Consequently, some of the dialogue seems unrealistic. |
