E124: HIV – Reducing Stigma and Educating the Public

This episode of the podcast is shedding light on a topic that doesn’t often get the attention it deserves: HIV. It’s a sensitive topic, but things have come a long way since it was first discovered. We can stop HIV together. By raising awareness of the role we can all play, we help end the stigma around HIV. Through support and education, we make it easier for people living with HIV to live healthier lives. David Martinez III, Director of Strategic Partnerships, speaks with a panel of experts about initiatives at City and County levels, and how leaders and community partners are working together to create a network of services for patients and education for the public.
