Abstract: (Producer) Since the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed, the fear of AIDS has spread almost as quickly as the disease itself. Even though the virus associated with AIDS is transmitted in only a limited number of identifiable ways, questions have been raised about possible exposure to the disease in the workplace. As the AIDS epidemic spreads--and fears and misconceptions about this dread disease continue to proliferate, the odds grow even higher that you and your company will be forced to confront the issue of AIDS in the workplace head-on. This program is a story about what can happen when a fellow employee contracts this devastating disease. It will help dissipate the fear among employees that AIDS is contagious in the workplace. It will also alert you to the legal issues involved if one of your employees is hit by AIDS. What are your rights and responsibilities under the law?
