Finding out – the challenges of growing up with HIV (8 mins)

HIV today is easily treatable. Yet for many young people finding out they are HIV positive creates a crisis, separating them from friends and family. This film looks at how misinformation at school and fear based prevention campaigns impact young people. It looks at how children and young people imagine the virus. The narrator is a film-maker who grew up in the UK with HIV, and now travels to Africa to hear the stories of other young people.

To find out more about how we have used art workshops as a therapeutic approach with HIV positive young people in Africa please download this document from our CurArte project.

This project was funded by PENTA Child Health Research.
