Even Me (2012)

Even Me confronts the overwhelming crisis of HIV/AIDS among older adults 50+. Defying the myth that HIV/AIDS is a gay or young persons disease, this revealing documentary depicts the devastating impact of this epidemic on the heterosexual, older adult population and communities of color. These brave men and women speak candidly about their experiences, sexual history and HIV status and help to uncover the misconceptions about aging, sexuality and HIV/AIDS. Even Me provides an intimate portrait of ethnic minority older adults living with HIV/AIDS, in an effort to dispel the myths that perceive older adults as asexual and therefore not at risk. Despite popular belief, older adults are sexually active and remain sexually active well into there 80s, 90s and beyond. As a result, heterosexual transmission of HIV/AIDS among older adults has risen considerably since the mid 1980s. This film explores aging, sexuality and HIV and takes a direct approach in exploring this highly stigmatized topic and exposes the consequences faced by a group that has little knowledge of safer sex practices or their risks of contracting HIV/AIDS. This documentary gives a face to the older adult group that has been identified as an invisible at-risk population.
