Conversation with 2 HIV activists for world AIDs day
This was last year's podcast for world AIDs day I am putting it out on more platforms.
In this podcast episode, Dan Glass, an HIV and human rights activist, discusses his journey into activism, inspired by his Holocaust-surviving grandparents and his own HIV diagnosis at 21. He describes his involvement in ACT UP London since 2014, and how it provided him with emotional support, practical information, and access to life-saving medication. Glass highlights the importance of challenging HIV stigma and educating the public. Simon Collins, another long-time HIV activist and member of iBase, talks about his experiences with HIV treatment and the need for peer education. Both activists emphasize the importance of PrEP, addressing the UK's conservative legacy on HIV, and the ongoing need to fight stigma and inequality.
