On the 20th anniversary of HIV medication being made widely available, WinkBall Reporters Nalika De Silva & Mark Spencer went to the Kings Head Theatres production of HIV Monologues to find out about how attitudes to the disease have changed. They spoke to audience members and actors - including Jonathan Blake, one of the first men to be diagnosed HIV positive in the UK.
Originally hailing from Leeds, Nalika has carved out something of a niche for herself as our comedy and charity correspondent. In the past, she has presented for Now TV, appeared on BBC Radio and has taken her own one-woman comedy show to the Edinburgh festival.
Mark joined WinkBall this year after graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in broadcast journalism. He’s already carved out a niche for himself by covering food and music events.
