When the Family Gets AIDS

Abstract:
When the Family Gets AIDS follows a family of four for 15 months and examines their feelings about their HIV infection and the community's reaction to their condition. The mother was exposed to the virus through a blood transfusion and then transmitted the virus to her husband via sexual intercourse. The source of the younger son's infection is not addressed. While the film documents the emotional impact of AIDS, it sends mixed messages and leaves many questions unanswered.
