About this listen
In this episode, we discuss the history of HIV and AIDS in the UK and globally. We trace the timeline from the early 1980s, when the condition was first known as 'Gay-Related Immune Deficiency' (GRID), to the identification of HIV and the later development of life-saving combination therapies. We reflect on the 'Don't Die of Ignorance' government campaign, the stigma faced by the community, and the vital role of grassroots activism and support networks like the Terrence Higgins Trust and George House Trust. The episode also features an interview with actor and activist Nathaniel J. Hall, who discusses the impact of the TV series 'It’s a Sin' and living with HIV today.
