This paper discusses the issues that should be addressed in an undergraduate course dealing with the psychosocial implications of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). These issues are: (1) the medical aspects of HIV infection and transmission; (2) death and dying versus life and living; (3) homosexuality; (4) intravenous drug use; (5) issues involving AIDS and the Third World, minorities, women, and children; (6) the use of psychoneuroimmunology; (7) the stress and strain felt by health care, helping professionals, friends, and family and the support they need; and (8) the religious problems involving attitudes towards homosexuality, condom use, and the training of clergy in HIV-related issues. Other teaching requirements are listed, such as the need for adequate instructor education in AIDS and the issues surrounding AIDS, the need for the instructor to review a wide variety of texts on the subject, and an awareness of the use of audiovisuals and the copyright restrictions concerning their use.
