Some Teens Are Immune to AIDS
TRACY'S CHOICES, a film by Max Elliot Anderson, is helping in the fight against AIDS in teenagers. This film will make a difference...after you've tried everything else.
Rockford, Illinois (PRWEB) July 29, 2004 -- Polls show that a growing number
of parents fear that their children will be infected with the AIDS virus. They
have reason to fear.
Teens are one of the age groups where AIDS is most
rapidly on the rise. In recent years this subject has become less of a concern
because of reports about AIDS drugs and hope for a vaccine.
The church
remains largely silent on this subject, to the peril of young people who attend.
Some would like to pretend that AIDS is not a problem inside the church
doors.
Tracy Eichman was the first person in the state of Illinois to be
arrested, convicted, and sent to prison for the knowing attempt to transmit HIV.
Her story is documented in a film titled, TRACY’S CHOICES. This film tells of a
young girl raised in a middle class, Midwestern home in Rockford, Illinois.
Early in her life, Tracy began experimenting with alcohol. Her peers introduced
her to drugs. Not long after that, she dropped out of high school.
Tracy
turned to prostitution in order to earn the money to pay for her growing drug
habit. She wasn’t sure if it was through prostitution or sharing needles that
she became HIV positive, but she knew one thing. As she saw her life coming to
an end, Tracy had to do something to warn teenagers.
This is how the
film, TRACY’S CHOICES, came about. It was Tracy’s way to turn a life of crime,
abuse, and desperation into something positive. Tracy begs teens not to drink
alcohol or do drugs. She tells how important it is to wait until marriage for
sex. She said, “I will never have a family. I will never have a husband. I will
never, not have AIDS. If there was one thing I could change that would be to
have never lost my virginity. For that I would give anything!”
TRACY’S
CHOICES is intended for use in churches, and faith-based ministries, that
promote AIDS education and abstinence.
Young people can become immune to
AIDS. TRACY’S CHOICES will help. A woman who works with other women in prisons
recently said, “I’ve been counseling women for several years about AIDS, and
this film is the best thing out there.”
