Episode notes
The Other Blue Pill has so far talked a lot about gay and bi men's sexual health, which is for a good reason with how much the HIV pandemic has affected us.
But this community isn't the only one who needs access to PrEP; it’s a drug that can protect everyone from HIV. This week, we focus on the nuances and needs of other marginalised groups of people who are also disproportionately affected by HIV and need better access to PrEP.
We also explore the wider health inequalities these communities face - and what lessons those fights can learn from PrEP with guests:
- Deborah Gold - Chief Executive of National Aids Trust
- Marc Thompson - Co-founder of PrEPster and The Love Tank
- Dani Singer - Act Up London activist
- Vanessa Apea - Doctor with expertise in sexual health
- Tarun Shah - Denied access to PrEP before being diagnosed with HIV
- Lauren Duffey - Sexual health, LGBT Foundation
