Viewers who engage in sexual activity are provided with the information necessary to maintain their physical health and prevent STD transmission. The cameras accompany a male and female teenager into an STD clinic examining room, thereby demonstrating the elements and ease of the physical exam.

During an informal conversation with the older sister and boyfriend of one of the teens, they express their concerns about sex and sexuality and explore the benefits and challenges of abstinence. Conflicting messages in the media, peer pressure, male/female roles, communication, and the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are covered. The older girl and her boyfriend are trained peer educators and are able to address the group's concerns and engage them in role play designed to prepare them to stay with their decision to delay sexual activity until after marriage. Two of the teens in the group have a serious relationship, and decide, because of the conversation, to take the time to slowly explore their feelings for each other, and not become involved sexually. Comments from other adolescents about their life experiences and the benefits of abstinence are interspersed throughout the central story. MJ Adolescents . Sexual abstinence . AN AD0019014.

AB In this videorecording, teens perform skits written by themselves to inform other teens about HIV/AIDS. Topics addressed include peer pressure, abuse of drugs and alcohol, testing, and unsafe sex. Employing teen lingo and slang, the skits emphasize that HIV can happen to anyone. Abstinence is defined as lack of involvement in risky behavior, and some of the teens point out that their health is too important to rely on condoms for protection. The skits range from humorous and satirical approaches -- such as an "AIDS Virus" deejay doing a call-in show on station WHIV -- to a serious treatment of HIV exposure from sharing needles.
