America Responds to AIDS [ARTA]
"It might take more than motherwit to tell my children what to do about AIDS." "I've taught my kids just the way my mother taught me. She gave me a strong sense about what's right and wrong. She called it 'Motherwit.' That's why even as young as my kids are, they know their way around. But sometimes I have to draw the line, especially with AIDS out there. So, I'm going to sit down and talk to my kids about drugs, sex, and AIDS. And I'll be doing it all with a lot of love. That's what Motherwit is all about. We can help you talk about AIDS. Call 1-800-342-AIDS for a free guide. The hotline for the hearing impaired is 1-800-AIDS-TTY."
