About This Episode
In Episode 3 of the Getting to Zero podcast, we ask: why is sexual health still treated differently from general health?
This episode explores the stigma, taboos, and cultural narratives that make sexual health a separate conversation and what needs to change. From missed opportunities in routine check-ups to fear of judgment in relationships, our HIV Ambassadors speak candidly about their experiences and perspectives.
Featuring:
London HIV Ambassadors: Allan Batcock, Louise Vallace, Jose Carlos Mejia Asserias, as together, they explore:
- The pressure of confidentiality and its impact on treatment
- Why sexual health is wrongly viewed as a personal failing
- The importance of normalising sexual health in relationships
- How stigma continues to prevent open conversations and proactive care
Whether you work in healthcare, support someone living with HIV, or just want to better understand how to break down barriers in your community – this episode is for you.
