The battle against HIV stigma - a podcast by triple j

Australia has come a long way in stopping the transmission of HIV.

For many young people, taking the preventative drug PrEP is part of everyday life, and treatment breakthroughs mean people who are HIV positive will go on to live long and healthy lives.

But so much stigma still exists around HIV, and that's often having more impact on people than the virus itself.

Plus, how do you know if you've got long COVID? Some people are reporting symptoms months after infection, but scientists still don't know much about it.

And a grim update on the state of environment, as the Great Barrier Reef experiences another coral bleaching event and a heat wave hits the polar regions.



Guests:

Professor Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik, Griffith Uni
