Description
Doctors from Ward 5B and Ward 5A at San Francisco General Hospital were at the front line of the AIDS crisis. In 1985 they produced a VHS video to share information about symptoms of AIDS and what health care workers would experience as they worked with patients. The History Center at the Main Library has 66 boxes of health documents from the early days of the treatment of AIDS by the SF Department of Public Health: http://sflib1.sfpl.org/search~S1?/dAIDS/daids/109%2C914%2C3091%2CB/frameset&FF=daids+disease+california+san+francisco+history&16%2C%2C19
