The Victorian AIDS Council has launched a powerful new campaign in the lead up to World AIDS Day. Posters are up around Melbourne and its neighbouring suburbs. Tonight we talk with Simon Ruth CEO of the VAC about this confronting campaign.

Then we have the vibrant Darren Vizer and talented Rory to talk about their project – S_T_I_G_M_A – a theatre and movement performance examining prejudices, discrimination and HIV stigma, an upcoming work for the 2017 Midsumma program. Yes, you can support this project and be a part of it !
