Who were are our political allies and how did the creation of the Gay Men’s Community Health Centre come into being? From anti-testing policies and ‘safe sex’, bold decisions were made and sometimes adapted in response to the changing landscape of HIV and AIDS into the late 1980s and early 1990s.

For this episode, Cal Hawk is joined by Phil Carswell, Adam Carr, Tony Keenan, Maureen O’Brien, Bill O’Loughlin, Jim Hyde, Bruce Parnell, and David Menadue.
