HIV Hour: Recent Episodes
RadioReverb
HIV Hour is the UK's only FM radio programme & podcast about living a healthy, happy life with HIV. It's only by talking openly that we can end HIV related stigma and discrimination. Taking an experience-led approach, rather than a medical one, presenters Sue, Josh & Carl discuss the latest news from the community and explore events, services & support networks in the Brighton area. Featuring interviews with charity workers, authors, and ordinary people telling their stories, HIV hour aims to educate listeners and tackle the isolation many people with HIV face.
