This video is a dramatization of the daily routine of a caring pharmacist, Don Alvaro, who is concerned about providing his clients with accurate and sufficient information about AIDS prevention. The video is aimed primarily at health care professionals, for whom it models behaviors and suggests ways to become actively involved in efforts to educate the public about AIDS.

The production briefly covers basic AIDS information including facts about HIV, transmission routes, definitions of casual contact, mention of condom use and demonstration on a model of a penis, and myths and stereotypes about HIV-positive people. The video emphasizes the need for tact and sensitivity when health care professionals deal with individuals interested in condoms or safer sex information. The video appeals to the values of familismo and religiosity.

The overall technical quality of this production is adequate. Background noise and abrupt edits may distract viewers during some portions of the video.
