The-Shelly-Videos Life and Love with HIV

Dancer: Shelly Tognazzini (Photo: Sophia Wolfe)

The Shelly Videos were created by Edmond Kilpatrick, a filmmaker, artist and embodied storyteller.

The two videos, which premiered at the 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam on July 23, 2018, tell the story of Shelly, a woman living with HIV, and her struggles with the stigma attached to her diagnosis in her everyday life.

In the first video, The Betrayal Was To The Bone, we meet Shelly, who shares her betrayal upon contracting HIV from her partner and the potential for criminal charges. She provides a sensitive and inspiring argument for how the criminalization of non-disclosure of one’s HIV status is unnecessarily harmful and protects no-one.
