This month the BBC will highlight health matters on Mondays at 9.05 p.m. The series of programmes discusses "Living Positively". Nearly 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, 25 million in Sub-Sahara Africa. Last year alone there were an estimated five million new infections coupled with three million deaths as a result of infection.

In a new series of four programmes, Paul Bakbinga travels to three very different countries - Uganda, Ukraine and USA - to examine the impact of HIV/AIDS and the response to it. The final programme is a discussion, pooling the experiences of various people working in HIV/AIDS.

On Tuesdays at 9.05 p.m. in the programme "Go Digital", Tracey Logan looks at new developments in digital technology, reporting on innovations, from the latest in computers and mobile phones to digital cameras. Discussing the personal and political issues surrounding the use of new technology, the programme considers how technological advances are changing the way we live.

This programme is followed by Omnibus at 9.30 p.m. In 1535 the Galapagos islands were discovered by chance and were little more than a base for whalers and sealers, until in 1832 Ecuador claimed them as a penal colony. In the 1930s, however, five brothers fled Nazi Germany and set sail for the Galapagos, where they settled. Ruth Evans uncovers the Angermeyer family's history to recreate and recount this extraordinary story.
