There's no denying that even to this day, there's so much stigmatisation towards people living with HIV/AIDS. Dr Sindi van Zyl and I chat about this stigmatisation, and further talk about the impact of intimate washes as well as circumcision. Did VMMC really save men or it destroyed men? The incorporation of traditional medicine into western medicine seems far fetched and comes across as a taboo, but why is that the case? Yoni steaming finds itself drawn into the conversation. And Moatshe 'Catchfire' shares his journey to manhood without circumcision as a benchmark for manhood.Drop your thoughts on https://anchor.fm/hlalefang-makoetlane/message Enjoy... Till next time ❤️
