In light of World AIDS Day on December 1, we’re talking about Fairfield Hospital 40 years on from the first patient with HIV/AIDS being admitted there.

The hospital closed in 1996 but it played a central role in the response to HIV/AIDS in Victoria.

In our second of two episodes discussing Fairfield’s impact, we’re joined by Edwina Wright and David Menadue.
