Finger Prick
Alone in the bathroom, 26 year-old Alexi continues to deal with feelings of shame and guilt after one night of discreet pleasure, whilst he takes a home testing HIV kit. Hiding the truth and testing kit from his Mum, Alexi enters a moment of personal crisis, quickly realising that he’s not as alone as he first thought he was.
