End of Transmission

Today is Jude's 50th birthday. She has lived with HIV for over 20 years and has unresolved questions. Only the virus knows the answers. By award-winning playwright Anita Sullivan.

Today is Jude鈥檚 50th birthday. She has lived with HIV for over 20 years and has unresolved questions. Only the virus knows the answers.
The virus takes her on a transmission journey skipping across continents, centuries, decades and diverse hosts to meet the person who gave her HIV.

End of Transmission is not one person鈥檚 story. It includes Positive Voices speakers from the Terence Higgins Trust. Niamh, Stephen, Allan, Tim, Roland, Ese, Jess and Mary are people living with HIV who share their stories to help end stigma and HIV transmission.

Playwright Anita Sullivan has been living well with HIV since 2000.

On effective medication, we can鈥檛 pass it on.
