According to a Kaiser Family Foundation report, women now account for nearly 30% of new HIV infections, a number that has tripled since 1986.
Positive Voices: Women and HIV, Cable Positive’s third installment in their award winning Positive Voices documentary series, deals with this startling fact.
Produced in association with Kismet Films, Positive Voices: Women and HIV is a 46 minute documentary that explores the lives of six women who have been affected by HIV and AIDS. The piece is hosted by actress and activist, Gloria Reuben and includes interviews with women living with HIV, members of the media who cover the epidemic, AIDS advocates and service providers.
The documentary premiered at HBO’s screening room in New York City on June 27, 2007, in commemoration of National HIV Testing Day.
