Compilation Special: Who Gets To Tell This Story?

Crowdfunder Link: RIO CALLING Fundraising LinkThis is a special compilation episode featuring highlights from Series 1 and 2 of HIV: The Morning After, released ahead of Series 3 in June 2026.The epidemic had a story. A specific kind of story, told in a specific kind of voice - white, male, gay. It wasn't false. But it was one story, and it left a great many people out.This episode covers what it costs to be absent from the dominant narrative: to be a Black woman told by her GP that HIV doesn't affect ladies like her; to grow up without seeing a single image of yourself in any HIV information; to spend years planning your funeral while your friends planned their weddings.These are remarkable people. And the episode ends with a white, gay man whose activism is aimed very much at ensuring all voices are heard, not just those that look like him.ResourcesTerrence Higgins Trust - HIV information, support and campaigning www.tht.org.ukNAM aidsmap - Clear, evidence-based information about HIV www.aidsmap.comPositively UK - Peer support for people living with HIV in the UK www.positivelyuk.orgNational AIDS Trust - Policy and advocacy www.nat.org.ukSamaritans - Free, confidential support if you're struggling Call: 116 123 | www.samaritans.orgLinksListen to the full episodes:Gus Cairns - Series 1, Episode 9Marc Thompson - Series 1, Episode 10Peter Willis - Series 1, Episode 8Martin Fenerty - Series 2, Episode 4Music by Paul Leonidou: www.unstoppablemonsters.comSubscribe and listen on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeThis is a special compilation episode featuring highlights from Series 1 and 2 of HIV: The Morning After, released ahead of Series 3 in June 2026.ResourcesTerrence Higgins Trust - HIV information, support and campaigning www.tht.org.ukNAM aidsmap - Clear, evidence-based information about HIV www.aidsmap.comPositively UK - Peer support for people living with HIV in the UK www.positivelyuk.orgNational AIDS Trust - Policy and advocacy www.nat.org.ukSamaritans - Free, confidential support if you're struggling Call: 116 123 | www.samaritans.orgLinksListen to the full episodes:Gus Cairns - Series 1, Episode 9Marc Thompson - Series 1, Episode 10Peter Willis - Series 1, Episode 8Martin Fenerty - Series 2, Episode 4Music by Paul Leonidou: www.unstoppablemonsters.comSubscribe and listen on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeMentioned in this episode:RIO CALLING! Crowd-funderWe're taking over the feed for 'Rio Calling': six daily despatches from AIDS 2026, the world's biggest HIV conference. Each day Dan Glass and I will bring you the stories that matter most to people living with HIV and the people working to end it - straight from the conference floor in Rio. The wonderful folks at BHIVA have helped get us there, but there remains a funding gap. The rest is down to you.
