Mississippians share their stories on how
an HIV Diagnosis Has Changed Their Lives
MPB TV presents Southern “Remedy: Living with HIV”
Jackson, Miss. – The letters “HIV” can invoke many thoughts and emotions among people in today’s society. Being told you have this disease introduces you to another side of this epidemic. Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s (MPB) Southern Remedy brings you face to face with five Mississippians “Living with HIV”, Nov. 18 at 9 P.M.
“I am grateful to the people living with this disease who selflessly told their story,” said MPB Executive Director Ronnie Agnew. “They are stories that can help and inspire others throughout the state.”
While chronicling these stories of survival, “Living with HIV’ examines treatment in Mississippi and ways to prevent contracting this virus.
Each Tuesday night throughout November, Southern Remedy will highlight a different topic. You can find the complete list of topics by visiting www.mpbonline.org/southernremedy (www.mpbonline.org/southernremedy).
