HIV + Me

HIV+Me showcases three ordinary people living with HIV and their extraordinary stories in three beautifully shot short films.

Paul remembers the lovers and friends he lost whilst fighting and campaigning from a grotty basement just off Canal Street.

Mark revisits the squat he used to call home on Claremont Road and reflects how a positive diagnosis marked the beginning of a new life.

And Yvonne recalls a lifetime of hiding in the shadows before she found something inside so strong that now helps her help others.

HIV+Me is part of In Equal Parts – a community-led creative outreach programme tackling HIV stigma and shame delivered in conjunction with award-winning show First Time.

Suitable for ages 11+

Please be aware, this film makes reference to illness and dying, drug use, gang violence, racism and homophobia.

HIV+Me is produced by Dibby Theatre and is filmed and edited by Boca films. The project is supported by Arts Council England and is delivered in partnership with George House Trust.
