HIV Primer Videos for Public Health and Medical Audiences

This summer I took the PUBH 725 course at the UNC School of Public Health that dealt with HIV topics. While I work on HIV topics often for my public health research job, I still found the class quite interesting.

The lectures have been posted publicly for anyone to view. If you are interested in HIV I think you’ll enjoy these videos. If you have time for only one video, I would watch the Myron Cohen video from Week 5. The week 2 videos are also quite interesting, especially the one on mental health.
