What The Pox? | Investigating the monkeypox outbreak
By QueerAF
Mpox is more than a virus; it's a story about the health of the LGBTQIA+ community - Listen now
What the Pox? Is the information and support I wish I had at my disposal when I was going through Mpox (Monkeypox). It's also a documentary investigation into the Mpox outbreak with science, stories and resources all shared without stigma or shame. Listen to understand:
- What we know about the virus, and how it spreads
- Why we feel shame and stigma about catching it
- What the parallels are with the HIV outbreak in the 80s
- Why this sits in a bigger picture with conversations about queer sex and health inequalities
- And crucially: What can we do next?
Mpox is more than a virus; it also tells us so much about being LGBTQIA+ right now - and that's what this show exposes.
Listen to our ten part documentary series for leading LGBTQIA+ community figures, Mpox experts, sexual health superstars, and real people talking about Mypox and the LGBTQIA+ community without shame or stigma.
