Doctors from Ward 5B and Ward 5A at San Francisco General Hospital were at the front line of the AIDS crisis. In 1985 they produced a VHS video to share information about symptoms of AIDS and what health care workers would experience as they worked with patients. The San Francisco History Center at the Main Library has several collections that document the city's response to the AIDS epidemic, including the San Francisco General Hospital AIDS Ward 5B/5A Archives: https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13...
