Scott and Bruce were the hottest couple in church. Scott, a hula dancer, seemed destined for Bruce, the hunky “lumbersexual,” and the church delighted when they got together. Their brief love affair sparkled before Bruce got sick and died. Their story is one of multiple “dress rehearsals”– when friends, family and lovers went through AIDS with their loved ones wondering who would be next and sometimes knowing it might be you.  You can see Scott perform in a 1992 InterPlay piece called “God, Sex and Power” here. He's the one with the bandaids on his knees.  Singing Positive is a two-part documentary film about the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) and its experience with AIDS that spans 15 years. The first film, which featured Scott, was produced in 1992 and is hard to find online. The second film, produced in 2009, saw the filmmakers return to SFGMC to explore the impact of AIDS on the chorus over time. The 2009 film, with clips of Scott from the first film, is here. And you can watch some amazing SFGMC performances on their YouTube channel here.  Scott's San Francisco hula school was Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2025. Scott's teacher and friend, Kumu Patrick Makuakāne is in the 2023 cohort of MacArthur Fellows. His recent work includes Māhū, a work by and with trans hula performers.   On the MCC in Hawai'i, see the Queer Histories of Hawai'i's story here.  For images and links about this episode visit https://www.heavenpodcast.org/episode-7 .  When We All Get to Heaven is produced by Eureka Street Productions.

Dr Maldonado is a Professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine where she has achieved national and international recognition for her scholarship in the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases. She has served on several national and international committees including, until recently, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Dr Maldonado and Dr Saag provide an overview of how vaccines work and discuss where aluminum adjuvants are used in vaccines and address the validity of anti-vax claims about the use of aluminum in vaccines. Dr Maldonado emphasizes the crucial role of vaccination, particularly the measles vaccine, as a key indicator of public health and discusses the high infectiousness of measles and its implications for community safety, especially for children and immunocompromised individuals. Dr Saag and Dr Maldonado also discuss current recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccine, its safety, and whether pregnant women and infants should receive the vaccine. Finally, Dr Saag and Dr Maldonado discuss the work of public health in the future and the importance of communicating the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.0:00 – Introduction1:46 – Overview of vaccines and how they work5:07 – Different vaccine types and where an aluminum adjuvant is used 12:41 – Motivations behind vaccine opposition16:20 – The business model of vaccine development 19:07 – The pros and cons of mandatory vaccinations 25:19 – Who should get vaccinated against COVID-19 30:46 – Should pregnant women and infants get vaccinated against COVID-19 35:02 – Will vaccine controversies continue in the futureOther Resources:Episode 50 - How Vaccines Get Approved in the US: The RSV Story and the Role of the ACIP – Dr Yvonne MaldonadoEpisode 51 - The Measles Outbreak and the Role Anti-Science Plays in Threatening Public Health – Dr Peter Hotez__________________________________________________Produced by IAS-USA, Going anti–Viral is a podcast for clinicians involved in research and care in HIV, its complications, and other viral infections.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 137-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,310 on turnover of $7.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan ended slightly higher Monday after profit-taking eroded most of the initial gains amid lingering concerns over stretched artificial intelligence stocks at home and abroad. Analysts say the market was initially led by the electronics sector as investors took cues from a rebound enjoyed by tech stocks on the U.S. markets on Friday. But this strength was compromised by the end of the session as many investors shifted to the sell side. MOFA names new ambassador to Palau The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the appointment of Andy Chen as Taiwan's new ambassador to Palau. Chen has been the director general of the ministry's Office of Parliamentarian Affairs since February. He will replace sitting ambassador Jessica Lee, who'll be returning to the MOFA headquarters in Taipei. Chen previously (先前) served as Taiwan's representative to Oman and head of Taiwan's office in Vancouver, Brunei, and the Philippines. He received his bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Culture from National Chengchi University. (AH) Bangladesh's former leader Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death In Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by a special tribunal (特別法庭 ) that found her guilty of committing crimes against humanity. She was put on trial in absentia and was found guilty of overseeing a crackdown on protesters last July. According to a UN report 1400 people were killed during the demonstrations last year, most by security forces firing live ammunition. Hasina claims she's innocent. Neha Poonia has more. Canada Budget Vote Passes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney won a vote on his budget in Parliament that could have triggered (觸發) a possible election. Carney's Liberal government does not have enough votes to pass the budget on its own but it passed 170-168 with the support of a Green Party member of Parliament and some New Democrat abstentions. The Liberals don't have a majority of seats in the House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. The budget vote is considered a vote of confidence in the minority Liberal government. Carney's Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in an election last April in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Liberals fell just short of winning an outright majority in Parliament. British Royal Mint Issues Freddie Mercury Coin Design Britain's Royal Mint is celebrating Freddie Mercury with a new coin design. The coin marks 40 years since his iconic Live Aid performance. It features an image of the Queen front man midperformance, with a musical stave (五線譜 ) representing his vocal range. Mercury's sister struck the first coin at the Royal Mint in Wales last week. She said the coin captures his passion and joy. The coins go on sale Tuesday. Mercury died at age 45 in 1991, just one day after he publicly (公開地) announced he was HIV positive. That was the I.C.R.T.

Charlie Sheen rose fast in Hollywood, starring in hit films and becoming TV's highest-paid actor in 2010: reportedly making $1.8 million per episode of Two And A Half Men. But fame fueled a collapse captured by the tabloids: cocaine, arrests, explosive relationships, and headline-grabbing meltdowns that pushed him to the brink as he struggled with a growing addiction. After a stroke*, overdose, and HIV diagnosis forced a reckoning, today Charlie says he is now eight years sober and rebuilding his life.

Welcome to the Fortune Factor Podcast. Today, we're diving into how digital dating platforms have fundamentally reshaped our approach to sex and relationships, presenting a complex mix of new opportunities and significant challenges. This isn't just about how we meet people; it's about profound shifts in sexual health, psychological well-being, and our very social norms.One of the most pressing concerns centers on sexual health. Studies reveal a clear correlation between the use of dating apps and an increase in unprotected sexual behaviors, a higher number of partners, and a subsequent rise in sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

The Sunday after Magic Johnson announced his HIV-status, Jim Mitulski preached a sermon on being tired of people dying. We're sharing it as an interlude, a pause, and an immersion into one moment in AIDS' bleak midwinter.  For images and links about this episode visit https://www.heavenpodcast.org/interlude. In the sermon Rev. Mitulski refers to ARC. That means AIDS-Related Complex, a diagnostic category meant to indicate an earlier stage of HIV infection than AIDS. It was common in the period to hear references to both AIDS and ARC.  “Old Devil Time” is by Pete Seeger. The AIDS verses are by MCC San Francisco congregant Paul Francis.  You can see Magic Johnson's press release, announcing his HIV status here.  The biblical passage Rev. Mitulski is preaching on is John 11:1-44. Get more Outward with Slate Plus! Join for weekly bonus episodes of Outward and ad-free listening on all your favorite Slate podcasts.

Discover why Bangkok might be the ultimate city for men in 2026 as I sit down with a Western medical doctor living in Thailand to break down the real reasons so many guys are moving here. We talk about life in Bangkok, beyond just nightlife and redlight stereotypes, male loneliness, building a social life as an expat, and how the city can completely transform your health, fitness, and mindset. You'll hear a doctor's perspective on Thai healthcare, hair transplants in Bangkok vs Turkey and Europe, TRT and bodybuilding in Thailand, cosmetic procedures, stress reduction, and wellness culture. We also dive into the darker side: STDs in Thailand, party culture, “special massages,” HIV prevalence, and why proper testing and protection matter for anyone enjoying the “entertainment scene” in Bangkok. If you're thinking about traveling to Thailand, moving to Bangkok, dating Thai women, becoming an expat, or optimizing your health, this episode will give you an honest, unfiltered look at what life in Thailand can really be like for men in 2026.

Last month, a tragic incident took place in Jharkhand. Five children with thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder contracted HIV, following a blood transfusion. Initial investigations revealed that the blood they were given, was contaminated. While the Jharkhand government swung into action, suspending officials and announcing compensations – the fact remains that the blood that the children were given from a blood bank was unsafe. Blood is a critical compound – it is used across thousands of hospitals every day and there are regulations in place with regard to testing protocols to ensure that infected blood is not given to any patient. So where did the lapses occur? What kind of testing mechanisms do we have in place and are they sufficient? What is the ‘window period' when it comes to infections and how can this be shortened? And how do we ensure safe blood for every patient in need?

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into several groundbreaking advancements and strategic shifts in the industry that promise to reshape the landscape of patient care and therapeutic innovations.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has introduced a novel regulatory pathway aimed at expediting the approval process for custom gene-editing therapies. Articulated by FDA officials Vinay Prasad, M.D., and Martin Makary, M.D., this new approach is set to revolutionize personalized medicine, particularly for genetic disorders where tailored interventions are crucial. Gene editing technologies, like CRISPR-Cas9, have opened unprecedented avenues for addressing genetic conditions directly at their source. However, the regulatory framework has struggled to keep pace with these advances, often hampering innovation with lengthy and complex approval processes.This proposed pathway seeks to streamline these requirements by adopting a risk-based assessment model that considers the unique properties of gene-editing therapies. Unlike traditional drugs, which follow a uniform clinical trial path, gene-editing treatments require a more nuanced regulatory approach due to their precision and potential off-target effects. The framework emphasizes adaptive trial designs—allowing for modifications based on interim results—and integrates real-world data to create a dynamic regulatory process. This not only promises faster development times but also fosters innovation by making it easier for companies to bring cutting-edge therapies to market.The implications are far-reaching. For researchers and biotech firms, this represents a chance to reduce time-to-market significantly while maintaining high safety standards. It also sets a precedent for future regulatory models that prioritize patient-centric approaches, acknowledging the diverse genetic landscapes of individuals with rare diseases. On a broader scale, this shift underscores the increasing recognition of personalized medicine's potential to transform healthcare delivery.In parallel developments, Gilead Sciences has achieved positive phase 3 results for its single-tablet regimen combining bictegravir and lenacapavir for HIV treatment. This milestone offers hope for simplifying treatment protocols for patients currently on multi-tablet regimens, potentially enhancing adherence and improving health outcomes. Gilead's preparation for regulatory filings marks an essential step forward in their therapeutic portfolio.Turning to cancer treatment advancements, Kyowa Kirin's collaboration with Kura Oncology has led to FDA approval for an oral medication targeting a subset of acute myeloid leukemia patients. This approval highlights the power of strategic partnerships in expediting the development of targeted cancer therapies and brings new hope to patients with limited treatment options.Meanwhile, several pharmaceutical companies, including Fresenius, Sun Pharma, and Teva, have been involved in product recalls ranging from hospital drugs to antibiotics and ADHD medications. These recalls underscore ongoing challenges in maintaining drug safety standards and emphasize the need for rigorous quality control measures across the industry.Zealand Pharma has opted to pause development of its dual GLP-1/GLP-2 agonist, dapiglutide, due to an increasingly crowded metabolic disorder treatment landscape. By reallocating resources towards programs with greater clinical differentiation potential, Zealand reflects broader industry trends prioritizing investments in areas with clearer paths to market success.In malaria treatment advances, Novartis has achieved significant progress with its next-generation drug 'Ganlum,Support the show

In this episode, ARK's Cathie Wood and Brett Winton sit down with Sean McClain, Founder and CEO of AbSci, to explore how generative AI is reshaping drug discovery, development timelines, and clinical costs. Sean walks through real-world examples of AI-designed antibodies—such as AbSci's breakthrough HIV antibody and a regenerative treatment for hair loss—and explains how these platforms are helping unlock previously “undruggable” biology.They discuss AbSci's Phase 2-ready hair growth antibody (BS201), the company's partnerships with Caltech and AMD, and why the FDA's evolving embrace of AI could accelerate the end of animal testing. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on the role of regenerative medicine in longevity—and why AI drug discovery might just pull biotech out of its multi-year bear market.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) How AbSci uses generative AI to design antibodies from scratch(00:02:42) HIV, ion channels, and the promise of targeting "undruggable" biology(00:06:28) AbSci's BS201 drug for hair regrowth: mechanism, speed, and cost advantages(00:13:20) Clinical timeline: From concept to Phase 2 readout in 3.5 years(00:15:34) Bringing costs down: $100–150M vs. the industry average of $2.4B(00:17:36) Why AI enables “keys designed for specific locks” in drug targeting(00:22:58) What AbSci's models are trained on—and how prompts work in drug inference(00:25:32) The future of clinical testing: AI replacing animal models(00:36:43) Sarcopenia, strength loss, and regenerative approaches to aging(00:48:10) BS201 as a long-acting pulse therapy—and how it compares to transplants

®Questo reportage racconta la drammatica realtà delle donne congolesi impiegate nel settore minerario artigianale, in un Paese segnato da guerre, sfruttamento e profonde disuguaglianze di genere.Nel Nord e Sud Kivu, regioni ricche di minerali preziosi, il gruppo armato M23 ha preso il controllo di importanti città, mentre il settore minerario continua a essere teatro di abusi. Dopo la chiusura della compagnia nazionale SOMINKI nel 1996, molte donne sono entrate nel settore artigianale, svolgendo lavori durissimi e pericolosi, spesso senza alternative.Tra queste c'è Furaha Myamungo, una “mama twangaise” di Kamituga, che racconta le condizioni disumane del lavoro: giornate interminabili, discriminazione, malattie respiratorie e HIV contratti per la polvere di quarzo e la miseria che spinge alla prostituzione.Nonostante tutto, emergono storie di resistenza e cambiamento. Emilienne Intongwa, minatrice e vedova, è riuscita a ottenere un proprio sito minerario e ha fondato l'associazione KOKA per tutelare le lavoratrici. Angelique Nyirasafari, ex operatrice umanitaria, è oggi una delle poche donne membro attivo di una cooperativa mineraria, impegnata a dare più diritti alle minatrici.Sebbene il sistema sia ancora profondamente maschilista e corrotto, mostra anche segnali di una lenta emancipazione femminile, fondamentale per cambiare il volto dell'industria mineraria in Congo.Prima emissione: 04 aprile 2025.

On a returning HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? (the world's finest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast) we're heading back to the past with Bill Sherwood's gay romantic drama PARTING GLANCES from 1986, featuring Steve Buscemi's breakout performance as Nick, an HIV-positive rock musician. Two straight dudes talking about a pioneering queer work? It happened! Now you can hear it and all the latest Steve Buscemi news. Enjoy! The post Episode 289 – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – Parting Glances (1986) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Send us a Text Message about the podcastA five-day trek, a river that swallows missteps, and a video call that saves a mother and baby—this is what frontline HIV care looks like in Papua, Indonesia. We sit down with Dr. Agnela “Iggy” Chingwaro, an infectious disease physician from Zimbabwe, whose work braids medical expertise with faith, cultural humility, and stubborn hope. Her story exposes the hard truths behind late testing, the fear of national registration, and the maze of more than 300 local languages that shape how people understand illness, trust, and treatment.We unpack the crucial difference between HIV and AIDS, why “undetectable” means suppressed rather than cured, and how that nuance can make or break adherence. Dr. Iggy contrasts Africa's evolving HIV response with Papua's current challenges, where stigma keeps many away until opportunistic infections like TB and meningitis take hold. She details how government-supplied antiretrovirals, TB, and leprosy drugs still need community bridges—portable diagnostics, trained local educators, and clinics willing to meet people where they are. You'll hear how her team trains traditional midwives to screen pregnant women, uses telemedicine to coach emergency care, and partners with pilots and pastors to reach mountainside villages.The conversation turns deeply human: the adoption of a child orphaned by AIDS, the refusal of ambulance drivers to transport patients due to fear, and the practical ways to dismantle myths about transmission. We also shine a light on the “forgotten generation”—youth facing rising HIV rates alongside alcohol and drug abuse—and the vision for a safe, youth-friendly center that offers counseling, education, and dignity. This is global health at eye level: compassionate, persistent, and built on trust.If this moved you, help us grow the impact: subscribe, leave a rating, and share with a friend.

In the wake of one of the most intense hurricanes on record, Bill Gates wants you to know that climate change is no biggie.  Meanwhile, we might see HIV rates spike 49% in the next five years if planned cuts go ahead. That's roughly 75,000 new cases.  In that same vein, as more than 40 million people lose their food stamps, the money keeps flowing to Israel - that's the type of funding we just can't live without, government shutdown or no!  And of course, Israel is flaunting its untouchable status, violating the ceasefire literally hundreds of times. Gaza is still being decimated, murdered, starved.  And in Sudan, UAE-backed forces commit horrific acts of torture and murder as part of a coalition of US and Israeli interest in Sudan's natural resources.  Because ultimately, when the going gets tough, the empire goes back to its roots, as a dealer of doom.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
