Abstract
Anita Sullivan's radio drama End of Transmission was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as part of a cluster of programmes to mark 40 years since the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the UK. The main character, a talking HIV virus (David Haig), is brought out of stasis by Jude (Louise Brealy) on her 50th birthday. Since being diagnosed 20 years ago, Jude has never known who gave her the virus, and so she has come off her pills to ask it herself. But the virus has a different kind of answer to Jude's question of “how she got it”, one that traces the long complex history of HIV back over 100 years.
