Dear colleagues and friends,

I hope you are keeping well.

Please join us November 26, 2021 for the premiere of *HIV Made Me Fabulous*,
a World AIDS Day event in collaboration with CATIE and GNP+, to raise
awareness and show support for women living with HIV.

Start time: 10am Vancouver | 1pm Toronto | 6pm London | 7pm Madrid | 7pm
Paris | 8pm Johannesburg | 9pm Nairobi | 5am Sydney (Nov 27)

Research shows that people living with HIV who have an undetectable viral
load cannot transmit the virus to their sexual partners. Despite such
remarkable advances in medicine, people living with HIV continue to face
profound forms of stigma and violence. This affects women differently than
men and can have long-term negative consequences.

*HIV Made Me Fabulous* is a short film directed by Edmond Kilpatrick that
tells the personal story of Juno Roche, a writer, activist and trans woman
who has been living with HIV for more than 25 years. The film experience is
embodied, featuring candid storytelling accentuated by visual cues and
dance performed by three women.

In addition to screening the film, this online event will feature an
interactive discussion with women living with HIV and women working in the
global HIV response.

*Le VIH a fait de moi une magnifique personne**: Projection et discussion *

26 novembre 2021

13 à 14 h 15 HNE

10 h à 11 h 15 HNP

*Ce webinaire sera présenté en anglais et interprété en simultané en
français*

Les recherches démontrent que les personnes vivant avec le VIH qui ont une
charge virale indétectable ne peuvent pas transmettre le virus à leurs
partenaires sexuelles. Malgré ces progrès remarquables de la médecine, les
personnes vivant avec le VIH continuent d’être confrontées à des formes
profondes de stigmatisation et de violence. Cela affecte les femmes
différemment des hommes et peut entraîner des conséquences négatives sur le
long terme.

*Le VIH a fait de moi une magnifique personne* est un court métrage réalisé
par Edmond Kilpatrick qui raconte l’histoire de Juno Roche, écrivaine,
militante et femme trans qui vit avec le VIH depuis plus de 25 ans.

L’expérience cinématographique est une scénographie de trois personnes,
accompagnée d’une narration franche, accentuée par des repères visuels et
des danses individuelles interprétées par ce trio.

En plus de la projection, cet évènement en ligne sera l’occasion d’une
discussion interactive avec des femmes vivant avec le VIH et des femmes
s’employant aux efforts mondiaux de lutte contre le VIH.

INSCRIVEZ-VOUS MAINTENANT
