Over the past few months, the Positively Alive Podcast guests ranged from policymakers to professionals, activists, and influencers who constantly fight against HIV, AIDS, and stigma. They have taken us on an extraordinary journey from the early days of HIV and AIDS to the progress that we have made to this date.
Despite the success obtained toward ending the HIV epidemic, our fight is not over. Now, more than ever, when we are so close to finding a cure, we need all the funding and the support that we can get.
On today’s episode, which happens to be the last one of this series, I make a summary of the main subjects we discussed over the past 15 episodes.
I’d like to thank and acknowledge our guests, once again, for being a part of the Positively Alive journey and for their constant effort against HIV and AIDS:
