Young and Positive

Young & Positive is a series of short documentary films about three young women living with HIV in Papua New Guinea. Collectively and individually they share their experiences of the diagnosis, treatment, fear of death, pregnancy and parenthood, TB, education and making a future, and the possibility of living a normal life. Their inspirational stories weave together the importance of others, family members, children and health care workers who show kindness, love, and support to remain on their HIV treatment. Young & Positive addresses the issue of adolescents staying on HIV treatment and better understanding the challenges they might face. By documenting stories of young women who have overcome these challenges the films form an important advocacy and education component of the national HIV response in Papua New Guinea.
