Be an AID for AIDS (B4)

Good health is essential to sustainable development, we are part of this movement and it is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UNDP to achieve by 2030. As technology and research advances, we have made a great progress against several leading causes of death and diseases. However, there are particular stigmas that needs to be stopped. In the case of HIV/AIDS, the prevention is commonly advertised, but we sometimes forget about the people who currently acquire the disease, we tend to discriminate and feel uncomfortable around them.

The short film begins with the protagonist, who found out she had been sick for a while. After which, she went for a check up and found out that she was HIV/AIDS positive. Her family, relatives, and friends despised her because of her sickness, whenever she is around, others would take caution and would set a distance towards her. She became weaker and weaker as days passed by. Everything changed when she met a long-term survivor in a chapel while praying, they talked and talked and she made realizations from the survivor that aside form eating healthy, exercising, and taking medicines, the people that surrounds you brings a huge factor in your healing progress. Now, she has regained her positive mind and the long-term survivor introduced her to his friends and to other HIV/AIDS survivors as well.

This video aims to give light to the people who are hiding in the dark because of their illness, to give them hope. And to everyone, to have a better understanding of their situation.
