To celebrate this, Twin States Network (an organization that provides programs and services to people of all ages who infected with and affected by Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS) and The AIDS Project of Southern Vermont are joining to present a special event as part of the Women's Film Festival. They will show a 45 minute documentary: Positive Profiles in Courage: Vermont Women Living with HIV. The documentary was produced by Twin States Network from a grant from the Region 1 Office of Women's Health and the Department of Public Health and Human Services. In the film, five Vermont women/girls tell their stories of living with HIV/AIDS. Following the film there will be a panel of Vermont women who are living with HIV/AIDS and local HIV/AIDS service providers. There will also be a staged enactment of how an HIV/AIDS test is performed using OraSure.
