Educating the general population and health care workers about the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is of paramount importance. There is a need to address the many fears and anxieties concerning this dreaded illness. Experience has shown that simple information-giving alone does little to allay the panic in the general population and in hospital personnel. The paper offers a psychodynamic explanation of the origins of the irrational fear and anxieties around AIDS patients and why information alone does not help the anxieties hospital workers experience. We have suggested a training program using group process and videotape techniques which can address the underlying fears and concerns about AIDS patients. These sessions can help hospital staff to deliver more empathic care to this patient group
