HIV History - Doonesbury - a podcast by TVPS

This week we talk about a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoon strip that has been running for 51 years, Doonesbury. In particular we focus on Andy Lippincott and the story of his HIV diagnosis and death and how Doonesbury, cleverly, used humor to tackle HIV stigma.
