HIV is the first of 12 original productions to be released by ICFLIX in the coming year. Each film will tackle a different topic with social relevance to audiences across the Middle East. The drama explores the social repercussions experienced by those infected with HIV through the eyes of a young man, Youssef.

Director, Mohammad Adel, headed a team of talented young stars, including lead actor Mohammad Al Sharnouby and his love interest in the film, actress Alia Assaf.

The film can be viewed by ICFLIX subscribers on their website (http://www.icflix.com) or any of the free apps, available for smartphones, smart TVs, tablets and soon, gaming consoles.
