The ENDING HIV Season of RENT tells the story of one year in the life of a group of bohemians struggling in modern day East Village New York. The story centres around Mark and Roger, two roommates. While a former tragedy has made Roger numb to life, Mark tries to capture it through his attempts to make a film. In the year that follows, the group deals with love, loss, AIDS, homelessness and modern-day life in one truly powerful story.

ENDING HIV NZ

Ending HIV NZ is a programme run by the New Zealand AIDS Foundation. This programme encourages staying safe through the use of condoms,  encouraging regular testing for HIV and other STIs. It promotes early treatment for those diagnosed with HIV, which leads to better long-term health outcomes and in many cases, eliminates the risk of further transmission.

By working together, we can end HIV in New Zealand.
