The rest of 'It's A Sin"... La!

Jill, Ritchie, Colin, Roscoe, Ash and Gregory had such an impact on everyone who watched, that we couldn't just cover the first 2 epsiodes. This week Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan and Dr Rex Melville are back to talk about the final 3 episodes of 'It's A Sin'.
We've had several messages from people sharing their experiences of what it was like caring for patients with HIV and AIDS back in the 80s and 90s- we've put them together into a montage for you to hear- it's a very powerful listen.  
As always we have some recent medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.

This is a fantastic website where you can check for drug interactions with antiretrovirals, so helpful for GPs prescribing for HIV patients. It gives you recommendations using a traffic light system.
