Synopsis: He’s just your type. But hold on. He’s about to tell you he’s got HIV. How will you respond emotionally? Brush it aside and practise safe sex? Go on to a deeper relationship? Or do you walk away? It’s not easy for him either. He’s falling in love with you, by declaring his health status he risks an end to the relationship when it’s hardly begun. In THE HIV MONOLOGUES four characters live and work in a world occupied by the virus which brings danger and stigma. Two of them fall in love: Nick has the virus, Alex doesn’t. But in the shadow of HIV can their new-found relationship survive? In these eloquently interwoven and often funny monologues Patrick Cash invites you to explore these feelings of living with a virus that attacks the emotions as well as the body.
