ABC2 marks World AIDS Day with Transmission: The Journey from AIDS to HIV, a doco looking at Australia’s response to HIV / AIDS over three decades.

Transmission: from AIDS to HIV records the personal journey of the renowned Swedish filmmaker Staffan Hildebrand as he captures the profound changes spanning the past three decades in Australia’s response to the AIDS epidemic. Since the earliest days of the epidemic Staffan has filmed the faces of AIDS around the world – starting in Sydney in the grim early days of AIDS. Drawing on this unique archive of footage, Transmission: from AIDS to HIV shows us the devastation caused by AIDS in Australia, in the words of those closest to the disease, and contrasts this with young Australians today living with HIV, rather than dying of AIDS.

9:35pm tonight on ABC2.
