Natalie Fleet is the Labour MP for Bolsover whose path into politics has been far from typical. From a very young age, teachers told her she was destined for university – something almost unheard of in her Nottingham mining town. But her future took a different turn, when at fifteen, she became pregnant by an older man. At the time she had thought they were in a relationship - but as she grew older, Natalie says she realised she had been a victim of grooming and statutory rape. She's now speaking out to give a voice to those she feels have been made to feel they should be silent, and joins Anita Rani in the studio. Only 3.1% of PREP users in England are women. That's Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, a drug that reduces the risk of being infected with HIV. Many women don't know that PREP exists, or don't consider themselves at risk. Yet women accounted for 30% of new HIV diagnoses in England in 2023. This week, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has launched pilot programmes to increase women's access to PREP. Anita was joined by Dr Jenny Whetham, Consultant and Joint Clinical Lead, Sexual Health and HIV Medicine, Brighton and Anne Aslett, CEO of the Elton John AIDS Foundation to discuss.Trisha Goddard rose to fame as a TV journalist. She was the first black TV presenter in Australia and is best known in the UK for her eponymous TV show which aired on ITV and Channel 5 in the late 90s and 2000s, earning her a reputation as the British Oprah. She joined Anita to talk about her career, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother and why she chose recently to go public with her diagnosis for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.BBC journalist Sanchia Berg and fertility lawyer Beverley Addison joined Nuala McGovern to discuss the recent cases of older couples becoming parents via surrogacy.Comedian, actor and writer Rosie Jones joined Nuala to discuss her first sitcom, Pushers, which she stars in and co-wrote. She plays Emily in the Channel 4 show, who has very little left to lose after having her disability benefits cut when she loses her job - she finds herself building an illegal drugs empire. Emily isn't your average street-dealer though - she's sharp, funny, highly educated and has cerebral palsy. What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by society?Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt

The report highlights growing evidence about health issues linked to toxic air and calls it “a public health crisis”. Today, a group of doctors, nurses and campaigners are walking from Great Ormond Street Hospital to Downing Street with a letter calling on government ministers to commit to more ambitious air quality targets. Anita talks to two of them, Rosamund Kissi Debrah, whose daughter Ella became the first person in the UK to have air pollution cited on their death certificate and Professor Sir Stephen Holgate, co author of today's report.Only 3.1% of PREP users in England are women.

The beautiful one. But which one is The Favourite? Set over a single week, but examining the highs and lows that define a family over the decades, this book is a story of rivalries and long-held resentments, about loss and grief and blame – and love.

While innovative and effective ideas to help solve major global health problems are hard to come by, finding and attaining funding to put them into action can be even more difficult. The research grant review process takes time and can be bogged down in red tape. Decisions on who and what kind of research gets funded can pass over novel ideas in favor of familiar project plans.The Trinity Challenge aims to shake things up a bit by rewarding creative and practical ideas that take research down to the community level. While the first round was dedicated to addressing COVID-19, the latest prize will go to ideas to fight the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections, otherwise known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In this episode of One World, One Health, Dr. Marc Mendelson, Professor of Infectious Diseases and Head of the Division of Infectious Diseases & HIV Medicine at Groote Schuur Hospital at the University of Cape Town and director of the Trinity Challenge tells us how the Trinity Challenge aims to support researchers with ideas to fight the present and growing problem of drug resistance in new and inclusive ways.

Can a picture lie? They can and do – especially when they are used out of context. And photographs and other imagery are regularly abused when it comes to illustrating global health. Available images illustrating disease outbreaks, refugee needs, and even benign public health campaigns routinely show Black and Brown people far more often than they do light-skinned residents of wealthy Western nations. Misery is almost always associated with color.Dr. Esmita Charani of the University of Liverpool and of the Division of Infectious Diseases and HIV Medicine at the University of Cape Town, tired of seeing this, did something about it. She and colleagues got the hard data about how public health imagery over-represents the global South. Her work got some attention and sparked some action. The Lancet is now changing the way it uses those images.In this episode of One World, One Health, host Maggie Fox chats with Esmita about how this imbalance happened in the first place, how it's harmful, and what can be done about it.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr Palmer about his experiences working in sexual health and HIV. In addition to his reflections on the speciality and its overlap with public health, he also provides food for thought on destigmatising sexual health issues and the value of raising awareness of HIV through shows like It's a Sin.

In this episode,  an international expert panel shares their thoughts on what will be needed from future long-acting HIV treatment and prevention strategies to address populations who are not eligible for currently available long-acting options. The faculty members also discuss important considerations for leveraging long-acting HIV approaches to address care inequities across different populations.Other episodes in this 4-part series cover additional aspects of long-acting antiretrovirals for HIV treatment and prevention, including key steps for switching patients to long-acting injectable cabotegravir plus rilpivirine for HIV treatment, such as selecting the most appropriate patients, introducing patients to the long-acting option, and preparing patients for what to expect from long-acting treatment in terms of efficacy, visit timing, and the injection experience; essential considerations for incorporating long-acting cabotegravir as an additional HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis option for appropriate individuals at high risk of acquiring HIV infection, such as the role of the lead-in phase, new guideline recommendations for monitoring during PrEP, and patient care and follow-up after PrEP discontinuation; and important considerations at the operational level for incorporating long-acting injectable ART into the HIV treatment armamentarium.Presenters:Babafemi Taiwo, MBBSGene Stollerman Professor of MedicineChief, Division of Infectious DiseasesNorthwestern University Feinberg School of MedicineChicago, IllinoisYvonne Gilleece, MB BCh, BAOHonorary Clinical Professor in HIV Medicine and Sexual HealthDepartment of Global Health & HIVBrighton & Sussex Medical SchoolConsultant in HIV Medicine and Sexual HealthHIV DepartmentUniversity Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation TrustBrighton, United Kingdom Cristina Mussini, MDHead of Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical MedicineFull Professor of Infectious DiseasesInfectious Diseases Clinics, University HospitalUniversity of Modena and Reggio EmiliaModena, ItalyDarrell H.

Host: Matt Birnholz, MD Guest: David Canaday, MD As we age, our immune system becomes weaker and is therefore unable to ward off infection as easily as in our younger years.1 This is particularly troublesome during flu season. In fact, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently looked at flu vaccine data for adults aged 65 years and older, and they now recommend that this age group preferentially receive higher dose or adjuvanted vaccines over standard dose unadjuvanted vaccines when available.2 So what was the data that led to these updated recommendations? Joining Dr. Matt Birnholz to share those key findings and the role of adjuvanted vaccines like FLUAD® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine, Adjuvanted) in preventing influenza in older adults is Dr. David Canaday, Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases & HIV Medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Avoid use in patients who have experienced any severe allergic reactions to any component of the vaccine.

Martin Shkreli was once branded the most hated CEO in USA history. He got this title when he infamously increased the price of Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill. Different Lawsuits soon came in, and he was eventually jailed for 7 years. But was Martin Shkreli as evil as the media portrays him to be? Why did he raise the drug prices? What is his side of the story? Martin Shkreli himself joined me on the Survival Skills Podcast where he talked about his side of the story, why he was jailed, what life was like in prison And his opinion on cryptocurrencies.

Despite advances in the field of sexual health medicine in recent years, there remain persistent myths and misconceptions, both amongst the general public, as well as between medical professionals who do not specialise in this area. Indeed, the stigmas surrounding conditions such as HIV and syphilis may have repercussions for patient care if health practitioners are unable to properly administer these patients as a result of poor information. This series of discussions, featuring colorectal surgeon and Women in Surgery Chair, Tamzin Cuming, and sexual health physician Diarmuid Nugent, aims to provide surgeons with some basic information on the subject so that they may confidently treat patients in their surgical clinics when these conditions and issues may be relevant. The first episode in this series will discuss recent advances in HIV medicine, such as PrEP and U=U, and how these developments have changed the way healthcare professionals treat patients living with HIV. Listeners are encouraged to describe how these concepts may impact their own clinical practice, recognise when it may be appropriate to test for HIV in the surgical clinic and discuss the evolving language in this area, noting why some terms may contribute to stigma.

Within the podcast we explore the subject of reckless transmission and practical strategies to facilitate choice in a healthcare setting. We discuss the law into the context of HIV care and how to navigate challenging conversations in the clinical setting where issues pertaining to the law maybe relevant. Episode GuestMatthew is an honorary Professor at The University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) and a Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at North Cumbria Integrated Foundation Trust.

Michael is looking back at an earlier conversation on the future of HIV care with some HIV clinical and community leaders. In early April this year, Michael and Tex caught up with Jenny Hoy, Director of HIV Medicine at Alfred Health, to talk about Alfred Health's survey to help people living with HIV untangle what their future health care needs might be - and this week we have the results and feedback from the survey to reflect on with Jenny. Later, Richard Keane, CEO of Living Positive Victoria sheds light on how the results of the survey might shape PLHIV communities' care, and what services might support their health later in life. PLHIV can complete the survey until 31 April when it closes via Alfred Health's website To connect with the coffee table chats contact Living Positive Victoria  We caught up with Jenny and Richard earlier in the year as the survey was unfolding...

Megaphysics II:An Explanation of Nature The Equation of Everything in Terms of Cosmology, Strings and Relativity by Dr. Mitchell Wick This book is a comprehensive mathematical exposition of how one-inch-long equation space-time is directly proportional to space and inversely proportional to mass can be used to explain all phenomena of nature. It explains the equation in terms of metric tensors and in terms of quantum mechanics and demonstrate how they equal each other and the equation of everything, which in tensors is Riemannian 4 space = Mintkowski 3 space - 1/2 space-time curvature metric called gravity/Ricci tensor of inertial mass all multiplied by 1/c^2 or if substituting the Ricci Tensor (c^2) by the energy density of matter completes the equation. A new mathematical operator is introduced called the spiral operator, which describes space-time in black holes and the total curvature of the universe is mathematically determined. Black energy and dark matter are shown how they interrelate and relate to what caused the big bang, and there is a theory as to what occurred prior to the big bang. Also a mathematical mechanism is given showing a rotational component in the quantum bubble prior to the big bang and how it fits with nature. The book applies some comments made by other physicists about compactification (rolled or curled up dimensions) to show the compactified circle of Type IIa string theory can be applied to arc length as space-time, the radius as the sum of all Riemann Forces and the angle as space-time curvature. Relativity and cosmology are explained, as well as quantum mechanics, including the Schrodinger equation, and how many more conn-compactified dimensions can exist besides the postulated twenty-six in string theory. M Theory is also explained, along with membranes and how they interrelate to energy and matter. The Hawking paradox is solved using Schwarzchild space-time and much more. Dr. Wick is a retired physician who, besides being a board-certified physician, had undergraduate studies in chemistry, including research in Polymers at the University of South Florida. Collegiate material for a bachelor’s in chemistry included physics through quantum mechanics, kinetics, and thermodynamics prior to attending medical school in 1976 at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. He had also published two prior books on physics, which are Megaphysics: A New Look at the Universe”(2003) and The Equation of Everything (2014). He had residency training in Parkview Hospital in radiology and nuclear medicine, and besides being board certified in family practice, he was a diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management and American Association of HIV Medicine. This author is and has been in Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, A Dictionary of International Biography (53rd edition, IBC Cambridge Press), and 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century (40th edition, IBC Cambridge Press, 2007).

In this episode The Doctor Dads interview chief medical officer at ENDOURAGE Dr. Michael Steward. Dr. Steward is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system. Cannabis has been used as a plant medicine for ages and the medicinal qualities of this powerful plant have many uses to support and optimize our health. We dive into the following topics: The Endocannabinoid System The healing qualities of the Cannabis plant The importance of using CBD products derived from flower The ratio of CBD/THC matters The types of terpenes and cannabinoids used in each formula gives the medicinal qualities The importance of using products that are clean and free of heavy metals, microbes, and pesticides. Delivery Systems for administration of cannabis plant medicine and more  Finding innovative ways to help people who are suffering is at the heart of Dr. Michael Steward's career. That inexhaustible desire and drive to heal inspired him to become a founding partner of Endourage, and the company's Chief Medical Officer. Seven years ago, Dr. Steward began studying the potential benefits of cannabis when used medicinally as part of a treatment plan. He explored how the plant affects the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates the function of the brain, endocrine and immune tissues. His findings instilled in him a belief that cannabis has the ability to improve the quality of life for patients living with pain, addiction, and various other ailments. His research led him to help create Endourage, a venture designed to manufacture high-quality affordable CBD-rich products that doctors would feel comfortable recommending to their patients. A licensed physician for more than 28 years, Dr. Steward has worked in both Family Practice, HIV Medicine, Hospice and Palliative care. He was on the leading edge of caring for patients with HIV back in the mid '90s, when protease inhibitors weren't yet available, and treatment of the disease was still in its nascent stages. Dr. Steward's office in Denver treated over 1,200 patients with HIV, being the largest Family Practice office providing HIV care in a five-state region.   Clinicaltrials.gov   ENDOURAGE   For any questions or more info contact Michael@endourage.com
