Target Zero: Preventing HIV Transmission

Target Zero is a documentary series that shows the challenge and emotional complexity of the fight to control HIV infection. It features real-life patient stories, state of the art molecular animations, and interviews with medical professionals and scientists. These accounts illuminate the history of the HIV epidemic and reveal the ongoing need for compassionate, patient-centered care and a true understanding of the science behind the treatments. Target Zero features three stories: Carmen, Elia, and PrEP, each of them focusing on particular aspects of HIV treatment and prevention. The Carmen and Elia stories follow HIV+ pregnant women with very different personal backgrounds, and show how their treatment is affected by their socioeconomic circumstances. The PrEP story focuses on two young men who are hoping to prevent contracting the HIV virus by means of per-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Learn more at targetzerofilm.org.
