Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[sarah c]

I think Charlie Hardwicke is doing an excellent job of portraying somebody getting the news they might be HIV positive and I like the fact Ian mentioned that they should have practised Safe Sex - I doubt all the other bed hopping characters in Emmerdale or other soaps even do that. HIV seems to have been forgotten about

Val's generation is actually now the group with the highest new-case of HIV in the UK? So this is well thought out

also her initial reaction, when she asked ian how old the other infected woman was, and on hearing 33 said - oh well thats it, its a young persons thing - also reflects the ignorance of that generation and group, in that they think it cant possibly affect them?
