40 years on from the Tombstone

On October 16th a new HIV advert was aired in Scotland. It's the first TV advert around HIV since the tombstone advert, almost 40 years ago, that terrified a generation! The new advert has caused quite a stir, with both positive and negative reactions, so this week Sarah and Jess take a look at the new campaign and discuss the reception it has received.
