Synopsis

By presenting women who were infected with AIDS by their husbands, the film unveils the silence and hypocrisy the bonds of marriage often evoke. It is the stories of the characters in POSITIVAS, rather than the statements of specialists and doctors which point out in a clear and direct way, the main factors of the feminzation of AIDS.
