Seventeen-year-old Rachel is as stunned as anyone when word spreads through her upper-middle-class community that Jason, a popular athlete who recently died, was an IV drug user. But it's the next bomb that really hits home: Jason, a former intimate partner, may have been HIV positive. Wanting to learn more about HIV, Rachel is urged to visit the local AIDS clinic by a substitute teacher, Sarah, but... More

When i first saw this movie i started crying about people in the movie having HIV and AIDS people dieing i'm gay and if i had HIV(but i don't)i first go crazy but i will continued with my life but this story is good and great for all teenagers and people that like to have sex
Hey I am a bit confused? If Jason gave her HIV through unprotected sex and the exchange of semen how come she did not get pregnant? Because if she got the HIV from him, then she should have also gotten pregnant right? Please clarify if anyone can...
ok, you do know you dont get pregnant every single time there is sex involved!?!?
Quite interesting movie, I am glued to the TV on this one..Eye opener for anyone...
ur so stupid juss shut up
When is Girl Positive coming back on tv?
I love the movie. It was awsome. It was was very educational in every way possible. It had all the facts. And most of all, the movie had all of the emotions that comes with HIV. The movie should be played at all High Schools and Jr. Schools. People need to know the facts about HIV. And people need to know that its managable now. Actualy, It's no worse than Herbies.
This movie was so good! I loved everyone in it, especially Jennie Garth. Everyone except for "Jason". His acting was so terrible! The movie was amazing and well-written, but I could only picture him as Brink. But it was wicked good overall!
Overall, I thought the movie was good at getting the basic "use protection/get tested" message across. For once though, I would like to see a film about HIV that does more to explore the lives of those who are living/surviving with the disease. I think there was an attempt at this through the teacher/vice principal storyline but they, in my opinion, fell short of this goal. The fact is, many people are living (not dying) with HIV. They have careers, friends, and social lives. They travel, participate in their communities, nurture their home lives and , yes, they still like to date and pursue romantic/domestic partnerships. An HIV+ person can, like those living with other life-threatening diseases like diabetes, manage his/her health through medication, diet, exercise and a positive attitude. They are not, despite how this movie portrayed it, destined to lives of consuming an exorbitant amount of meds, barfing up food or passing out on a daily basis. It is time we expand upon our "be safe" public service announcements to raise awareness of a community of people who want to live respectfully and safely with their neighbors but wish to no longer feel isolated or feared. We need to move beyond the 80's death message and change the script to also address issues related to those who are HIV survivors......dating, when to tell, living safely with a partner, etc. Ignorance of this disease is much larger than the safe-sex discourse we have been having for the last 25 years.
This was a really good movie up until the end, the cliffhanger as to weather or not Greg and Lindsay had it also took a few kudos off the movie for me. I hate those "draw your own" conclusion movies.
In reply to ktobin.......YES......are the people who wrote this movie completely stupid???? People who take blood should wear gloves, to protect both the patient and the caregiver. That is SO BASIC. How can you use a movie like this to promote HIV awareness and overlook something so simple????
i love this movie it is really eye opening
not saying i have any thing just that i think is a real good movie
this was like tellin us that just because we like a dude, and havein sex with him could be a bad thing but just like rachel we might end up havin HIV i know if i ever have HIV i would hate bein me but i loved this movie and if yall want to have sex then make sure that u use a condom and make sure that the partner dont have and std
I think this was an excellent movie and I think that all teenage and preteens should see it.. I have two teenage girls that I want to see it..
i LOVED this movie its great! ;)
the bomb!!!
Is there a tv show now?
this is like probably one of my absolute favorite movies ever! it is like totally amazing! like me and my "friend" always used to call eachother whenever we found out it was gonna be on or like was on! then like even after she hated me cuz my step mom told on her for "smoking chocolate chip cookies" i lik ecalled her to tell her it was on like and we hadnt talked to eachother in like 3 months, and when i called her to tell herit made things a littl ebetter and she like stoped like compleatly hating me!! well... but then she just went and made up a bunch of lies about me and stuff... but it fixed stuff for a while... but yeahh... i really love this movie ad like want it on dvd... or vhs... ether one... lol i kinda want to make my teacher let us watch it in class cuz she keeps tellin us stuff about not to have sex and stuff... which is pretty halairius, cuz were all freshmen, and only like half the class still has their verginity... im in the half that still has their vcard by the wayy... cuz i dont wanna get aids!!
but yeahh... good movie, and someone should tell me how to get it on video! haha
this movie is a great example that u should not sleep with the person that u love. u just dont know there back ground thats crazy mor ethan seven years she dont know that she ahd hiv. then she had to tell her boyfriend to get check out because he miht have it but...........
