04 Nov 2022Mark Ashton00:35:14

At 26 years old, Mark Ashton was diagnosed with HIV and died shortly afterwards. He was a leading figure in the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) group during the 1984 miners' strike and this is the focus of our episode this week. As a political activist and campaigner he had such an impact that in 2018, 31 years after his passing, a garden in Paris was renamed to honour him, and a year earlier, on what would have been his 57th birthday, a blue plaque was hung above the bookshop where Mark and his friends met to organise political rallies.

13 Oct 2023HIV & Antivaxxers Part 200:33:19
20 Oct 2023HIV & Disclosure Part 100:34:47

Do you need to tell your dentist about your HIV status? How about your GP? Do you need to disclose your status to get a mortgage, and how does it work with life insurance? It can be stressful working out who you *have* to tell about your HIV status versus who you *want* to tell. In the first of 3 episodes focusing on HIV disclosure, we try to make navigating this slightly easier by focusing on who needs to know and who doesn't.
