Segment 1 An iceberg is seen. Text overlays it reading, 'There is now a deadly virus. Anyone can catch it from sex with an infected person. Man or woman. So far it's been confined to small groups but it's spreading and unless we act now it's going to get much, much worse'. The iceberg is seen from underwater. It has 'AIDS' carved into the side of it.
