The new version aims to expand access to the documentary, that narrates the trajectory of the epidemic that it opened up ignorance and prejudice in relation to HIV and AIDS in Brazil. Directed by Andr\u00e9 Canto<\/strong>,the film investigates stigma, prejudice and discrimination as products of a society that insists on keeping people living with HIV marginalized – until today, almost 40 years after the first diagnosed case, situations of fear, insecurity and exclusion are recurrent in people living with HIV.<\/p>\n

Today we know that the epidemic, despite important scientific advances in treatment and prevention, has grown among adolescents and young people (15 to 24 years old), as pointed out by the Ministry of Health’s 2020 Epidemiological Bulletin on HIV\/AIDS. Every week 6,000 young people<\/strong> are infected with HIV worldwide, this vulnerability among teenagers is a global trend, this group is the only one where the epidemic continues to advance with a relative risk 50% higher compared to other age groups.<\/p>\n
