 AB    In 1992, an elective programme was introduced into the undergraduate
       medical curriculum at Monash University. This programme 'An Introduction
       to HIV Medicine' aimed to provide a broader view than that provided by
       ward-based clinical teaching. It included perspectives from general
       practice, counsellors, people living with AIDS, and support and
       education groups. The responses of the students are
       presented--indicating the impact that this programme had on the
       knowledge of HIV medicine and HIV infected persons, attitudes to those
       infected and those at risk, and their perceived ability to manage
       patients. In addition, the insights gained by interacting with
       ambulatory patients and the opportunity to view counselling sessions are
       reported. The student's knowledge and attitudes were investigated before
       and after the programme.
