Abstract
Explores the representation in TV drama of people living with HIV/AIDS. It focuses in particular on women with HIV I AIDS, or the feminine 'AIDS body', a category that has received little attention in analyses of media representations of people with HIV I AIDS. In both the commercial mass media and in government-sponsored AIDS advertisements, the heterosexual woman with HIV! AIDS is a recent addition to the gallery of 'AIDS bodies'. An episode of a popular Australian television medical drama, GP, that featured the character of a young woman with HIV, is analysed for the discourses and visual images around HIV/AIDS, sexuality, femininity, contagion and medical science expressed therein.
