Girl, Positive (typically stylized as Girl, Posi+ive) is a 2007 American drama television film directed by Peter Werner, written by Nancey Silvers, and starring Andrea Bowen and Jennie Garth. The film is about a preppy teenage girl who discovers she is HIV positive after a summer one-night stand with a boy. It aired on Lifetime on June 25, 2007.

Plot

Rachel, a high school girl, seems to have the life that most people envy: she has a steady boyfriend, great friends, and a place on the school's soccer team. Preparing for college and separating from her boyfriend are the main worries of this teen, as she lives a carefree life like most girls her age. However, Rachel's world falls apart the day she discovers that Jason, the guy whom she lost her virginity to at a party and died in a car accident a few months ago, was HIV positive and a heavy IV drug user.

Rachel immediately goes to an AIDS clinic to get a rapid swab test, which comes back positive. Devastated by the fact that she may actually be infected with the virus, Rachel then confides in her substitute teacher, Sarah, who has secretly been living with the disease for years. But both young women are about to find out their secrets will not be kept secret for very long, as word begins to spread throughout their high school and rumors fly, making some of these students realize that they may not be as "invincible" as they think they are.

+==Cast==
-Kyle Smith (classmate with receding blonde hair) landed his first major acting role in this Lifetime original movie.  Although his role never landed him other opportunities, his work in this film is viewed as one of the best works from an actor to graduate from Airline High School.  Kyle is currently living in California and working as a theatrical sound technician.  Although this is a behind the scene type gig, he dreams of another opportunity to land on the big screen in the near future.  Resource: Kyle Buzzanca
