MEN

Positivo Soy Positive I Am

(English subtitles)

A Documentary Short Subject Video

Four Hispanic HIV+ men offer us an in-depth, no holds barred exploration into every aspect of their lives.  The topics range from the medical reality they face daily, the memory of the shock of their diagnosis with the infection, the social stigma, overcoming denial and finding their way in the world while adhering to the treatments.  Paul the Colombian, Henry, the Dominican, Fulgencio the Venezuelan and “Jessy” the Cuban help create a face for the reality of living with HIV in today’s world as Hispanic men in the USA.

The Video also incorporates scientific medical information in a clear, accessible manner that any layman will comprehend.  The cycle of the infection and the medical information are presented by Dr. Luis A. Espinoza, M.D. Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Miami, Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases Division.  Positivo Soy is a powerful and moving documentary that may help herald change in the reality of HIV in the Hispanic community.

WOMEN

Conversaciones Intimas entre Mujeres

(English subtitles)

Intimate Conversation among Women
An HIV/AIDS documentary video; portraits four Hispanic women in an open and frank discussion on how HIV/AIDS has affected their lives.  The video was developed by Hispanic women for Hispanic Women.

Miami-Dade County Health Department has created “Mujeres in Accion Contra el VIH” (MACVIH) an early intervention program for Hispanic women that are sexually active and could, therefore, be at risk for HIV infection.  Conversaciones is used as the tool to promote discussion among Latino women, which in turn creates awareness of the impact of HIV in the Latino communities, specifically in the female population.

MACVIH Resuts: In the past 15 months (9/06), 282 or 93% of the 303 women that have been through the intervention have been screened for HIV and have demonstrated an interest in participating in additional sessions.

This early intervention program is being submitted to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for review and approval for national distribution among Hispanic communities.
