HIV/AIDS Resources to Share

On a national health education list, a post asked for children's books on
HIV/AIDS, especially for young children.  I think the age was 5-8.  I
mentioned a book I've used called, My Dad Has HIV by the authors Earl
Alexander, Sheila Rudin, Pam Sejkona from Fairview Press in Minneapolis,
MN, 1996.  I wonder if you have other suggestions, especially if the book
involves a family member?
	I then shared a website I have begun to visit as I work with my elementary
education majors on integrating technology in the classroom.  Here's the
message I shared:
While this doesn't address Lisa's question about books, especially for
young children, I found some additional HIV/AIDS resources online as I
search for ways for my elementary ed students to begin/continue integrating
technology in the elementary classroom.
	If you haven't visited the Discovery Channel School on line, it's a great
resource.  One program scheduled for the new season is Body Science.  The
programs include, The Science of HIV, The Mystery of Twins, The Real Bionic
Man, The Brain: Our Universe Within, Ultimate Athlete: Pushing the Limit,
Understanding Viruses.  You can visit at:
http://school.discovery.com/fall97/themes/bodyscience/index.html
	The topics each have a "Related Resources" section, and the HIV section
will take you everywhere from a great site called Cells Alive to the Names
Quilt Project.
	Anybody have any other websites or resources to add?  Margo
