Ep 304: Blood Brothers: The AIDS & Covid Connection (ft. Carol DiPaolo)

In this episode Dr. Ben welcomes Former National Pediatric AIDS representative Carol DiPaolo. In 1984, when her son Joey was four, he was infected with the HIV virus from a blood transfusion during open-heart surgery. At age ten, Joey and his family attended Camp Sunburst in California which was the first and only AIDS related summer camp program in the country. Empowered and motivated by the camp experience both mother and son began public speaking in 1990 bringing AIDS education to parents, faculty, and students throughout the country. After becoming national AIDS spokespersons for several AIDS organizations, Carol and Joey decided to establish The Joey DiPaolo AIDS Foundation (JDAF).
