Resum

Russell T Davies’s drama It’s A Sin is generating conversations about HIV, the AIDS epidemic and the tragedy of how many we lost in the 80s when so little was understood about the virus. In the series, AIDS patients are locked in hospital rooms, denied care and treated like pariahs in society. Because of the lack of education around AIDS and what happened in the 1980s, it has left many stunned, questioning whether it was really “that bad”. Well, it was. The programme has started new conversations and old ones about how HIV landed in our different communities, on our lives, and on our loved ones. Sahir House asked to hear your thoughts, feelings, and memories in relation to the series to include in our newsletter.
