 AB    This is an interactive computer based poster demonstration. It provides
       conference participants with the opportunity to engage in a hands on
       exploration of this richly linked hypertext program and its exciting
       multimedia components. The HIV Hypermedia Medical Education Project has
       been created to provide a comprehensive computer based teaching program
       for Australian medical students and general practitioners. The project
       comprises an extensive database of factual material, a series of
       interactive patient management problems and a group of teaching
       tutorials on the prevention and management of HIV infection. It has been
       developed utilising Toolbook for Windows and runs on a 486 PC with 4MB
       of RAM and a SuperVGA monitor running 256 colours. The project has
       resulted in the creation of over 1000 screens of information plus over
       150 clinical photographs, x-rays, diagrams, charts and sequences of
       animation. Users can elect to be directed through various components of
       the program or can totally direct their own learning experience.
