Nick News with Linda Ellerbee (Nickelodeon)

"Forgotten But Not Gone: Kids, HIV and AIDS"

AIDS is still around, still incurable, and it still kills people. There are thousands of children, teens and young people in the U.S. living with HIV. It’s a hard life. Some people treat you badly, and everybody treats you differently. When AIDS stopped becoming "news" and turned into every-day reality, journalists stopped writing about it. Consequently, there is much that our children and young people don’t know – how you get AIDS, what it means or how to behave around someone who has it.

Nick News with Linda Ellerbee discusses what life is like for kids with AIDS today and introduces viewers to three young people who are coping with the disease while working to dispel misconceptions and fear among their peers.
