all your chain of lovers?...
Its not who you've slept with,its who your previous lovers have slept with....damn i wish i could watch it online...




Although Intersexions will not present itself as an overtly HIV/AIDS drama series, we will look at the lives and loves of those infected and affected by the HIV virus as well as the circumstances of their contracting the virus and the relationships in their lives. The series tells 25 inter-connected but independent stories that start and end with Episode 1 bringing the series-arc full-circle.

The series starts with a wedding in a well-to-do suburb North of Johannesburg. The wife, Mandisa, dressing for her wedding, hears on the radio that a well-known DJ is dying of an AIDS-related illness. She freezes. The DJ had been her lover five years before. With this story, we begin our journey through the chain of transmission of the HIV virus. Episode 2 is the story of the Mandisa and the DJ five years before. Episode 3 is the story of the DJ and his other lover Boitumelo. Episode 4 tells the story of Boitumelo and Thami. And so on
