Dead Pleb, The “Telling” Survey & Turning Point turns some Stats on Their head

Health, National, News & Politics, Sexuality, Social Sciences, Society & Culture

The Turnbull Government’s proposed plebiscite on marriage equality has formally been killed off by the Senate. We are joined by Senator Janet Rice from the Greens to hear about the 33-29 vote last night.

Associate professor Garret Prestage from the Kirby Institute at the University of New South Wales talks about a new study about disclosure of your HIV status to your sexual partners and The “Telling” Survey that asks gay and bi guys their thoughts and experiences of HIV disclosure.

Finally we discover from researcher Sharon Matthews that the stereotypical image of young drunk men injuring themselves on King street is being overtaken by a quieter epidemic of inebriated men in their 40’s and 50’s. The research comes from Turning Point Victoria.
