On channel 4.
I found it an incredible series to watch. It starts the year before I was born so I lived through that era but knew nothing of it. I did some reading about it and found that they had no effective treatment for AIDS until I was 15!! I guess all my life where I have been aware of AIDS there has been treatment (in this country! I know not everywhere is so privileged).
I remember going to volunteer in Russia in the early 2000s with street kids and orphans and I remember my mum being really scared for me that some of the kids could be HIV positive. I was baffled because clearly it was no risk to me if they had it as long as I took good precautions if I needed to give first aid etc. I realised that she didn't understand as much as I did about how it spreads etc, and this is something you see in this series. I now understand where her lack of understanding comes from.
An eye opening and moving series, and very pertinent in a time of a new virus which people don't understand!
