Mandarin Chinese Introduction to HIV/AIDS

This video is in Mandarin and covers critical basic information about HIV and AIDS. HIV is a virus that causes the disease AIDS, which can be fatal. There are treatments but no cure. HIV is spread by contact between body fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk) and mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals). It is spread by sexual contact, injection drugs users sharing needles, from mother to child during childbirth or nursing, and (early on during the epidemic) by receiving blood transfusions. You can reduce your risk by abstaining from sex before marriage, being faithful to a single partner and using a condom and/or dental dam if you are sexually active, and by never injecting drugs or by never sharing needles if you do. It can take up to six months after exposure to HIV for a person to test HIV positive. This video is freely downloadable from http://www.archive.org/details/aidsvideos_intro_mandarin.

Viewing this from Beijing now (though access to youtube goes off and on from here). Great job!

[NYvloger]

Hope this will help someone!

Lolz, the pronunciation isn't exactly proper, and it looks labored...

[shokumasterify]

Do I REALLY have to use this to train my simultaneous interpretation skills? D:

[IronJackalTw]

I don't know about CHINA! However, what TAIWAN needs is to have something like what SINGAPORE had now, which is very Far-Sighted WISDOM?

The only thing that GAY PEOPLE ever did is to become a DRAIN on our Health Care System in TAIWAN!

Young Taiwanese Youths that are always in the SICK BAYS because of HIV/AIDS can not compete with the Global Economic either!

This is awesome. I recommend it to all students (especially medical school) who are going to China for an internship.

[NewYorkerVlog]

Super video for studying Mandarin!  Thanks! Everything spoken clearly and at a moderate pace.

Oh dear... I understand very few words and I guess it's embarrassing that one of the only phrases that I do recognise is xing jiao...!!
