World AIDS Day 2008: "Prevention"

When we first met Dora Anzala Antice of Kenya Africa, it was three years ago in a hospital as she was giving birth to her son, Emmanuel. Dora was HIV positive. This short documentary film follows up with her, two years later. She had received the beneficial A.R.T. drugs during her pregnancy which blocks the transmission of the disease to her unborn child. Although there are better drugs today that have more immediate results, at the time Dora had her child, with the A.R.T.'s it takes 18 months before it can be confirmed the HIV is not passed to her child. This film follows up with Dora and her healthy, HIV-free two-year-old son.
