Description

From 1987-1996, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored America Responds to AIDS, a multipart public awareness campaign that focused on reaching a wide range of audiences variously defined by identity or behavior.

Frankie Alston shares how she acquired AIDs in a scene narrated over a porch with a clothesline blowing in the wind.
