Interview, Rev. Guiseppe Brunetta. Milan Italy 1988
Italy was hit by HIV/AIDS in the eary 80´s. The response to HIV/AIDS from the strong Italian Catholic Church was ambivalent at the top level in the early phse of the epidemic. Italian AIDS activists accused the Catholic Church to promote stigma and discrimination through its ideology. But at the street level many Italian Catholic priests took an active part in caring for the AIDS patients and also in trying to communicate with young people about sex and condoms. Father Guiseppe Brunetta, involved in HIV prevention and caring for patients in Milan, gives his view of how to best fight HIV/AIDS based on his Christian values. Filmed in May 1988.
