The AIDS Memorial Quilts

Advocacy and Activism, HIV, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC), World AIDS Day

In our 900th episode, we speak with people involved with Well Well Well over the years as well as the AIDS Memorial Quilt project.

John “Jack” Hall, David Menadue, Alison Thorne and Phil Carswell join Cal for this episode airing the day before World AIDS Day 2023.

In light of World AIDS Day, we also spoke with doctors with expertise in HIV/AIDS care and research, alongside community members who were part of Thorne Harbour Health’s new HIV Still Matters campaign. You can watch their stories here.
