Tomorrow (20/11) marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Eve van Grafhorst.  Originally from Australia, Eve was one of the first children to be infected by HIV.  She became the center of a controversy in 1985 when she was banned from her local pre-school and the incident forced her family to move to Hawke’s Bay, where she died aged 11 in 1993.  Justin spoke with Jason Myers, the Chief Executive of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation, about her legacy, as well as what has changed for people with HIV since.  He started by asking more about Eve’s life.
