The Love Epidemic(1975)

Nobody is immune!!

The Love Epidemic is an Australian educational documentary that tackles venereal disease in the pre-AIDS era with both candor and humor. The film argues that sexually transmitted infections are a serious public health concern affecting people of all ages and orientations. Through a mix of factual information and comedic sketches, it shows how people—regardless of their sexual experience—can contract these treatable but potentially serious diseases. The documentary balances education with entertainment, using comedy to make conversations about sexual health less awkward while emphasizing that prevention and treatment matter for everyone.
