HIV is a disease– no, HIV is the virus that makes up the disease called– wait...AIDS is a virus- what? No! The “AIDS virus” has been a conundrum since its inception in 1984 as “HIV, The Virus that Causes AIDS,” and so mysterious that few people questioned the potency of the deadliest of rampant viruses. Even still today, most people won’t doubt in their minds that AIDS is something that they want to avoid, even if by the act of luck, and not by various forms of protection.. But how can one of the scariest viruses in the world be so poorly understood, and even today, so rarely mentioned as a fear in one’s life? Nicole Zwiren, director of “Behind the Fear, the hidden story of HIV”, interviews top AIDS scientists, doctors, journalists and HIV patients regarding the science, or lack thereof, behind HIV. Narrated by Ed Asner
