About This Episode

This episode explores how attitudes toward dating and sexual health have evolved across generations — and why open dialogue is still crucial today.

Featuring:

HIV activist Rebecca Mbewe and her son Chiesa Musonda, the conversation highlights key ongoing challenges:

  • Stigma around HIV and STIs
  • Reluctance to test
  • Barriers to contraception
  • Rising STI rates in both young and older adults

Their intergenerational perspective underscores the importance of normalising routine testing, encouraging conversations about sexual health, and fostering shared responsibility in relationships.

This is a valuable listen for anyone working in public health, community engagement, HIV care, or youth and family services.
