#35 – Coming Out in America - a podcast by Dr. Zhana & Joe Pardavila

In episode 36, Dr. Zhana and Joe talk to Dr. Christian Grov about his research on coming out in America and how it might have changed.

Coming out as gay and bisexual has changed over the years, but there is also another layer to coming out and that is coming out as HIV-positive. Due to modern advancements in medicine, an HIV-positive status no longer implies a death sentence, so coming out becomes more complex. This week, we spoke to Dr. Christian Grov on the studies he has conducted about coming out in America.Click https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224499.2017.1375451 (here) to read the study discussed on the show!
