Marc Thompson discusses his fight against the stigma of HIV in the Black Community.

In this episode Lee Pinkerton interviews Marc Thompson, lead commissioner for the London HIV Prevention Program. As well as sharing findings from their latest report, Marc discusses the double stigma of being a Black gay man with HIV, and what we can learn from high profile cases like those of Magic Johnson and Fela Kuti.

The London HIV Prevention Programme (LHPP) is a city-wide initiative commissioned by the Association of Directors of Public Health London (ADPL) and delivered on behalf of all London boroughs.

Their recent Black Heritage Needs Assessment is a vital piece of work commissioned as part of the wider LHPP programme and is a key step in their commitment to tackling health inequalities and improving HIV prevention for Black communities across London.
