{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"title\">Living with AIDS</span> was a thirty-minute program that sought to provide quality programming to people with AIDS. The first episode aired in 1987 and the series ran until 1999. Initially the show was filmed as either a short documentary or as a live show with a panel of guests discussing a single topic. Over time it evolved into a magazine-based format. Each show was made up of 8-10 minute segments. The shows were repackaged and reaired in a changing combination of segments. The segments covered a variety of topics such as healthcare and treatment; activism; risk reduction strategies; raising families; and maintaining relationships. Recurring series were Caring, which profiled caretakers and activists; Medical Updates, which provided users timely treatment and medical information; and Video Portraits, short portrayals of individuals affected by AIDS. Also included are videos that were produced by outside videographers and screened during GMHC programs, such as John Greyson's <span class=\"title\">The Pink Pimpernel</span> and <span class=\"title\">The World is Sick</span>.</p> <p>This section is arranged alphabetically by show title. There are edited masters for the majority of the shows, and many included additional unedited interviews and original footage. With the exception of \"Compiled material,\" all tapes retain the numbers given by GMHC staff and usually demonstrate the sequence in which the footage was shot. Compiled material consists of tapes that held multiple masters. There masters either reflect a <span class=\"title\">Living With AIDS</span> show as it was screened, or were a method of collocating masters onto one tape.</p> <p>This section also includes focus group sessions on audio tapes. The focus groups were part of a study to ascertain how people received information about AIDS and their opinions on AIDS.</p>"}
