HIV is still a scary term for many LGBTQ people today. The goal of this episode is to explain HIV in a practical, easy-to-understand way without being overly scientific.
HIV has changed dramatically over the past few decades, but many of the beliefs and fears surrounding it haven't changed at the same pace.
In this episode, we break down what the science actually says about HIV today. We cover the difference between HIV and AIDS, modern HIV treatment, viral suppression and U=U, how effective PrEP is, and what to know about PEP after a potential exposure. We also look at the psychology of HIV stigma, including how it shows up in dating and why outdated ideas about HIV can persist even when the actual risk has changed.
