Abstract: (Producer) The AIDS epidemic has clearly burst the bounds of the male homosexual community and is now affecting more and more women--intravenous drug users infected by contaminated needles, sexual partners of infected males, mothers of infected children, and women who are living with or caring for AIDS victims. This program tells the stories of the grieving mother of a gay man who died of AIDS; a social worker almost burned out after a year of working with AIDS patients; a women volunteer AIDS buddy; a friend to a dying AIDS patient; the foster mother of an HIV-positive baby with a 50% chance of survival-stories that show how AIDS has both infected and deeply affected women.
