"Talk About AIDS

Heard Much About AIDS Lately?

Barbara:Ask me if I’ve heard about anything else.

Really? So your friends talk about AIDS?

Barbara: No, no one does.

But, you said you haven’t heard anything else.

Barbara: That’s because it’s in the paper and on TV all the time.

If AIDS is so important, why don’t your friends talk about it?

Barbara: I guess they’re embarrassed.

Are you embarrassed?

Barbara: AIDS isn’t exactly what you’d call party conversation.

No, it’s no party. But how are we ever going to prevent AIDS if we can’t even talk about it?

Barbara: But, how do you talk to someone about AIDS?

Just like this.
