Miss HIV

Miss HIV is a featurelength documentary by Ethnographic Media, released to DVD on August 26, 2008. Written and directed by Jim Hanon Beyond the Gates of Splendor, End of the Spear, and produced by Mart Green, the film explores the international collision of HIVAIDS policies while following the journey of two HIVpositive women who enter a pageant in Botswana. What is happening in Botswana, where half of all pregnant women are HIV positive, is set contrasted with the past successes of Uganda, which has experienced one of the largest reductions in HIV infections ever recorded.

Producer Mart Green had read a book by Dr. Edward C. Green, which shared the success of the Uganda ABC program Abstinence, be faithful, use a condom and how this program is under attack from AIDS activists. Questions emerged about sex, human rights, and ideology. Hanon felt that the Miss HIV pageant in Botswana was a place to explore these questions.Elizabeth Romolale HIV Positive contestant Gaelebale Thabang HIV Positive contestant Bill Gates Melinda Gates Bill Clinton Dr. Edward C.
