From the Back Cover

Sexual activity among today's adolescents is at an all-time high. Yet most teens know very little about the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), leaving them vulnerable to health problems. A 17-minute video allowing for classroom discussion before and after viewing, This is a Video About...HERPES! can also be used in other settings, where individuals or small groups of teenagers need special counseling about STDs. Young people who may benefit from the program include those who are sexually active, those who may or may not become active in the near future, and those who have an STD or fear that they may have one. This lively, fast-paced and highly visual show, designed to appeal to today's media-savy young people, is made to stimulate discussion and ongoing self-education among adolescents, and focuses on ways they can reduce their risk of contracting and transmitting genital herpes. More than just a list of facts and figures, the program tries to motivate teens to recognize high-risk behaviors and attitudes, and find ways to change them.

This review is from: This Is a Video About...Herpes! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a fantastic educational video. I have reviewed dozens of health education films and this one clearly shows a sensitivity to the sophistication of teenagers today. It contains lots of useful information, but does it in a highly entertaining fashion.
