The site is vital in the HIV prevention space, providing clear information about health, sex, relationships and community.

As the HIV and sexual health landscape evolves, so does Emen8, with a renewed focus on multicultural inclusion and newer prevention tools like Doxy-PEP.

Joining us this episode are Project Lead Chris Williams and Content Writer Oli McAuslan to discuss a wide range of topics including:

• the rise of Doxy-PEP,
• queer housing,
• private health insurance and why navigating the system can be uniquely complicated for queer men, especially those who are overseas-born,
• HIV self-testing,
• building trust with audiences who may not have grown up with Australian healthcare norms, and more.

The post Looking Back on 2018 appeared first on Well Well Well.

On this week’s episode, we focused on homelessness amongst people living with HIV. We look at the intersection between homelessness, being LGBTIQ and HIV. We explore different social and cultural factors that influence homelessness in people living with HIV and discuss how homelessness ties into mental health, physical health and overall well being.

Claudia Validum who heads the Housing Plus Program at the Positive Living Centre joins Jessie and her volunteer co-host Martin to discuss the program and share her experience around working in this sector.

The Housing Plus Program specifically supports people living with HIV to access and navigate the housing services, whilst understanding the unique challenges they face.
