It’s a wrap! Maisha video ready for its intervention debut!

The Maisha intervention video is up and running! Thanks to an incredible team of actors, the video is now available for session 1 of the MAISHA intervention study. The Maisha video aims to dispel misconceptions that drive HIV stigma while normalizing pregnancy in the context of a positive HIV status. In this 7 minute film, we are introduced to Salma, who learns that she is HIV positive in the wake of her first antenatal care visit. Salma and her husband, Bahati, go through the motions of this diagnosis and show viewers what it means to be pregnant and living with HIV. The Maisha video, presented to all Maisha participants, aims to develop empathy and encourage support for people living with HIV.
