How do you find love if you’re HIV+? One doctor finds a way – by matchmaking her HIV+ patients.

LOVESICK interweaves Dr. Solomon’s personal and professional journeys with the lives of two patients: Karthik, a reticent bachelor, and Manu who, like many women in India, was infected by her first husband. As Karthik and Manu search for love, they learn how to survive under the shadow of HIV. Shot over eight years and told with humor and compassion, LOVESICK is a surprising and hopeful story about the universal desire for love. In India, where marriage is a must but AIDS carries a stigma, what are HIV-positive people to do?
