Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street, New York City

The Lovers: The Victims takes an unflinching look at HIV/AIDS in
Iran. From the bedrooms of sex workers to the back alleys filled with
drug addicts, the film examines the spread of the disease from a
perspective that is frequently hidden in Iran. Mohammad Ehsani, the
director, will be in attendance to share his experience in making the
film. Following the screening, a panel featuring Ehsani, Dr. Kaveh
Khoshnood, Yale School of Public Health, Dr. Emran Razzaghi, Yale
World Fellow and former Director of the Iranian Bureau for Youth
Health, and Proshat Shekarloo, Asian and Pacific Islander Institute
on Domestic Violence, will discuss the multi-dimensional nature of
the epidemic in Iran.

Please join the Asia Society for a discussion on the status of AIDS
in Iran and on what can be done to help stop the spread of the
disease.
