Galloway is in deep with crystal meth in 2005, dodging help from his HIV doctor and dragging his family through the collateral damage.

The United Nations has warned that nearly three million children could contract HIV by 2040, with more than half at risk of dying from AIDS-related illnesses if prevention and treatment efforts are not significantly expanded. The agency says the overwhelming majority of these infections are expected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa, where young people remain disproportionately affected by the epidemic. Amid these concerns, a major scientific breakthrough is offering new hope. Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection administered just twice a year, is being hailed as a potential game-changer, particularly for young people and others who struggle to adhere to daily prevention pills. In United States, Minnesota , the fentanyl epidemic continues to devastate families and communities, with overdose deaths leaving a lasting toll.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: Herbert Masua Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

Many people with infertility use in vitro fertilisation (IVF), however the probability of having a baby following IVF is only approximately 30-40% per cycle and decreases significantly with age. It can be a lengthy and expensive process. Providers sometimes offer ‘add-ons', additional treatments that they claim could help patients conceive, which are themselves also usually expensive. In Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom more than 70% of patients pay for at least one of these add-ons. A new review published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women's Health journal has found that evidence on the benefits of these add-on treatments is unclear. Claudia Hammond speaks to Dr Sarah Lensen, Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health at the University of Melbourne.Joining Claudia from Ghana is genito-urinary consultant and HIV expert, Vanessa Apea. Claudia and Vanessa discuss a draft African Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values, which claims that comprehensive sex education, as well as a range of sexual and reproductive health rights, are a threat to African families from foreign ideologies.They also discuss a report from the Office of Inspector General of US Agency for International Development (USAID) which reveals that President Donald Trump's administration has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in storage and transportation costs for $9.7 million worth of contraceptives that are being stored in Belgium rather than distributed to the various low-income countries they were intended for. Many of the withheld contraceptives are now expired or unusable due to their removal from temperature-controlled storage.We also hear from Health Check reporter Jane Chambers in the Chilean city of Valdivia, where wetlands are part of everyday life—and increasingly, part of people's health. And we hear how faecal-microbiome transplants could improve the efficacy of some antidepressants in patients with major depressive disorder.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producers: Jonathan Blackwell & Georgia Christie

It's Pride Week, and we're talking about belonging — not just to a community, but to ourselves as gay men. We ask: When did sex stop feeling shameful and start feeling freeing? Steve, Kodi, and Sebastian explore how gay bars, Pride, hookups, leather spaces, chosen family, and queer community helped shape their confidence. The hosts get honest about sexual shame, body image, desire, kink, aging, and the pressure to be “desirable” in gay spaces. We discuss how getting older can bring a deeper, sexier confidence — knowing what you want, what you don't, and no longer apologizing for either. Plus: the beauty and complexity of Pride — celebration, protest, flirtation, connection, and yes, a little shamelessness. A conversation about sex without apology, community without exclusion, and aging into queer power. Hot Topic: Do gays really walk fast and why? Studies show this can also be healthy Hot Topic: Broadway Bares just wrapped supporting HIV and AIDS. Sebastian recounts his time on the sexy stage... Hot Topic: Billy Porter gets real about Fire Island and the infamous 'meat rack'.... Hot Topic: Pornhub: What are we looking up on the platform....the stats are out for Pride...

This episode of the Dr. Joe Galati podcast discussed the top 7 strategies to reduce your chance of #cancer.Avoiding tobaccoTobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of cancer. This includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping, and smokeless products. Chemicals in tobacco damage DNA and cause cancers of the lung, mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, pancreas, and more. Quitting at any age significantly lowers risk, with benefits appearing within weeks.Maintaining a healthy weightExcess body fat increases inflammation and hormone levels linked to at least 13 cancers, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, and kidney. Aim for a BMI between 18.5–24.9 through balanced eating and regular physical activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly).Avoiding risky behaviorThis covers limiting alcohol (no more than one drink daily for women, two for men), practicing safe sex to reduce HPV and HIV transmission, avoiding needle sharing, and steering clear of unnecessary radiation or toxin exposure. These behaviors directly elevate risks for liver, cervical, and other cancers.Getting routine medical careRegular check-ups and age-appropriate screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap/HPV tests, low-dose CT for lung cancer) enable early detection when treatment is most effective. Discuss family history and personal risk factors with your doctor to create a tailored screening schedule.Maintaining a diet rich in fruits and vegetablesAim for at least five servings daily of colorful produce, whole grains, and legumes. These foods provide fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that help protect cells from damage. Limit processed meats, sugary drinks, and ultra-processed foods, which are linked to higher colorectal and other cancer risks.Protecting your skin against cancerUltraviolet radiation from the sun and tanning beds is the primary cause of melanoma and other skin cancers. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing and hats, seek shade during peak hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.), and avoid indoor tanning. Monthly self-exams and annual dermatologist visits aid early detection.Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B and HPVThe hepatitis B vaccine prevents chronic liver infection that can lead to liver cancer. The HPV vaccine protects against strains responsible for nearly all cervical cancers plus many throat, anal, and genital cancers. Both are most effective when given before exposure, ideally in adolescence or early adulthood.#cancerprevention #cancerrisk #longevity #wellness #vaccination #smoking #vegetables #skincancer #smokingHow To Reach Dr. Joe Galati and his Team:For an on-line consultation or press inquiries, contact Teresa Reyes at 713-794-0700Dr. Galati's Newsletter Sign-UpLiver Specialists of TexasGet a Copy of Dr. Galati's BookDr. Galati on FacebookMessage Dr. Galati and his team Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Felix shares the story of a long-distance relationship that began like a once-in-a-lifetime romance and slowly became controlling, destabilizing, and physically abusive. What initially felt like fate was reinforced through intense declarations of love, marriage plans, international travel, matching rituals, and promises of a shared future. Over time, Felix found himself managing his partner's emotions, proving his commitment, sacrificing parts of his own life, and trying to solve problems that kept changing shape. Felix discusses love bombing, future faking, digital monitoring, emotional double standards, HIV-related shame, blame shifting, physical violence, strangulation, and the way apparent accountability pulled him back into the relationship. He also reflects on how the mythology of their love story kept replacing real repair, and how his body recognized the danger before he was fully ready to accept it. It's a story of long-distance relationships, control destabilization, physical abuse, fate, love bombing, future faking, digital monitoring, double standards, HIV-related shame, blame shifting, strangulation, LGBTQ domestic violence, lies, gaslighting, humiliation, withdrawal, whataboutism, false equivalence, verbal abuse, and abuse cycles. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses adult physical abuse (IPV), and strangulation. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at  hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Episode Introduction Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, hosts this solo episode focused on cardiovascular and general health prevention. Drawing on a recent paper from the University of Chicago, Dr. Bishop explores how primary care physicians can best prioritize preventative interventions to save the most lives. The episode aims to help patients and their loved ones understand which preventative strategies deliver the greatest health benefits. Key Takeaways: A University of Chicago study identified 42 different preventative interventions and ranked them by their ability to reduce mortality and morbidity, highlighting the challenge of covering all of them in a single medical consultation. Pre-exposure prevention for HIV in high-risk individuals ranks as the single most impactful intervention for gaining future life-years, yet it remains significantly underused in primary care settings. Breast cancer reduction medication (anti-estrogen and anti-aromatase drugs) for high-risk individuals ranks second in preventative value, a fact that surprises many, including Dr. Bishop himself. Pre-exposure prevention counseling for intravenous drug use ranks third, requiring primary care physicians to engage in sensitive but critically important conversations. Statin therapy for primary prevention ranks fourth overall and is considered underappreciated and underused, despite strong evidence supporting its benefits. Alcohol counseling and weight loss/dietician referral round out the top six patient-centered interventions, reflecting the ongoing importance of lifestyle modification. When ranked by efficient use of doctor's time rather than pure patient benefit, the list shifts slightly, with hepatitis B screening and hypertension screening entering the top six. For a practical real-world example, a 65-year-old overweight woman would be prioritized for statins, weight loss counseling (potentially including GLP-1 medications), and colorectal cancer screening, followed by reassessment. Not all preventative screenings are equally valuable — cervical screening ranks lower than commonly assumed, while breast cancer risk-reduction medication ranks far higher than most patients or doctors expect. Patients are encouraged to arrive at medical appointments informed and prepared, knowing their personal risk factors so they can make the most of limited consultation time.

Decades before Covid-19, the AIDS epidemic tore through communities in the US and around the world. It has killed some 40 million people and continues to take lives today. But early on, research and public policy focused on AIDS as a gay men's disease, overlooking other vulnerable groups—including communities of color and women. This month marks 45 years since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published its first report about a mysterious illness that would eventually be called AIDS. So we're bringing back Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows, from reporters Kai Wright and Lizzy Ratner, which chronicles the first years of the HIV epidemic in New York City. One of the most influential activists for women with AIDS was Katrina Haslip, a prisoner at a maximum-security prison in upstate New York. In the 1980s, Haslip and other incarcerated women started a support group to educate each other about HIV and AIDS.Haslip took her activism beyond prison walls after her release in 1990, even meeting with CDC leaders. One of the main goals was to change the definition of AIDS, which at the time excluded many symptoms that appeared in HIV-positive women. This meant that women with AIDS often did not qualify for government benefits such as Medicaid and disability insurance. The podcast series Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows is a co-production of The History Channel and WNYC Studios. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in February 2024.

Semaglutide Slows Biological Aging A randomized, placebo-controlled study published in Nature Communications found semaglutide slowed biological aging markers by nine percent on the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock in adults living with HIV-associated metabolic disease, with simultaneous improvements across inflammation, heart, kidney, liver, and brain markers. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't a weight loss story. It's a metabolic inflammation story. He explains why the GLP-1 mechanism hitting insulin signaling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory pathways simultaneously is the real finding, and makes the case that your metabolic markers and your aging markers are the same numbers.

Host Dave Asprey explains why twenty years of regulatory lag left American consumers with inferior chemistry while Europe moved on, why he's watching independent absorption data before updating his own stack, and why consistency of use matters more than perfect formulation when sun protection remains one of the most evidence-backed longevity interventions available.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why mouse hair regrowth studies have a long history of failing to translate to humans, what a plausible circulation-based mechanism would actually need to show in human trial data before it's worth acting on, and why the molecule itself is interesting enough to keep watching.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why delivery mechanism is an underrated variable in caffeine optimization, why timing matters as much as dose, and why a modest but measurable edge on a cheap and accessible tool is exactly the kind of practical biohack worth understanding.

Host Dave Asprey explains the actual hepatotoxicity and bone demineralization risks of preformed retinol excess, draws the critical distinction between preformed retinol and beta-carotene that got lost in the misinformation cycle, and makes the case that mechanism is not a dosing protocol and confusing the two is how people get hurt.

BREAKING - TOP NEWS STORIES OF THE WEEK:

Syphilis cases are rising at alarming rates across the American South, especially congenital syphilis, which can be passed from pregnant mothers to their babies. Thomas Dobbs, dean of the John D. Bower School of Population Health at the University of Mississippi, traces the history of syphilis in the United States, from the dramatic declines made possible by antibiotics and public health interventions to the sharp resurgence seen over the last decade. He explains how gaps in prenatal care, rural healthcare deserts, insurance barriers, medication shortages, and the erosion of public health infrastructure have combined to fuel rising infections. particularly among pregnant women and newborns. Later, Joshua O'Neal, program director, Southeast STI/HIV Prevention Training Center, discusses how prevention training centers across the country are helping state health departments and local providers respond to the crisis. O'Neal describes the hands-on work being done to strengthen syphilis prevention and improve access to testing and treatment, like mobile testing programs, provider education, and statewide collaboration efforts. He also shares insights from the “Syphilis in the South” summit, where clinicians, public health leaders, and outreach workers came together to tackle one of the region's most urgent public health challenges.Sustaining Services and Outbreak Response for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STIs, and TB | ASTHO

The name "Dr. Jonas Salk" is synonymous with one of the greatest public health achievements of all time: The Polio Vaccine. The arrival of Salk's vaccine in 1955 was a beacon of hope and reinforced the role science can play to serve the public good. When asked who owned the patent for the vaccine, Salk famously replied, "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" In 1994, and just one year before Dr. Salk passed, polio was considered eliminated in North and South America. Today, vaccine hesitancy - driven by a host of reasons - has eroded childhood immunization rates in some parts of the country, and reignited a debate over vaccines as a stress test for public trust in science.rnrnContinuing the work of Dr. Jonas Salk is his son, Dr. Peter L. Salk. A graduate from Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he would go on to work in his father's laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies from 1972 to 1984, and again from 1991 to 1995. Together, they would research the biology and immunotherapy of cancer and autoimmune diseases, and develop an inactivated vaccine for HIV infection. Nowadays, Dr. Salk spends his time educating the public regarding his father's life and work and exploring approaches to reducing the severity of various public health problems. Since 2009, Dr. Salk has served as president of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation in La Jolla, California. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health, Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology.rnrnIn partnership with the Mt. Sinai Health Foundation, join us as Dr. Peter L. Salk sits down in conversation with Dr. Arthur Lavin, retired pediatrician and Co-Founder of Grandparents for Vaccines. Together, they will discuss the Salk legacy, the state of public trust in science, and the future of public health.

What if a world without HIV wasn't just a dream — but a decision we could make right now? In this compelling episode of Viva La Vulva, Dr. Cara Quant picks up where the conversation left off, diving deep into PrEP — the once-a-day pill (or injectable option) that can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by up to 99%. Yet despite its proven effectiveness, PrEP remains one of the most underutilized prevention tools among the very communities that need it most. For Black women — who are 10 times more likely to receive an HIV diagnosis than their White counterparts — the gap between what's possible and what's accessible is not a medical failure. It's a systemic one. This episode asks the bold question: if the science is there, why aren't the people?The path to a world without HIV runs directly through the communities that have been most left behind — and that means centering Black women's voices, experiences, and bodily autonomy in every part of the conversation. From dismantling the stigma that keeps women from asking their doctors about PrEP, to exposing the structural barriers that make access feel impossible, this episode is equal parts education and empowerment. Because PrEP isn't just a pill — it's a portal to sexual freedom, self-determination, and a future where HIV no longer writes the story of Black women's health. The science exists. The solution exists. Now it's time to make sure every woman who needs it knows she deserves it.

In this episode, the Family Docs Podcast hosts Dr. Rob Assibey and Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea discuss climate informed patient care and what it means for family physicians in everyday practice. Climate related health impacts are showing up in the exam room through heat related illness, poor air quality, and changing patterns of infectious disease. Dr. Diana Howard and Dr. Alex Sherriffs share what they are seeing in practice and offer practical strategies family physicians can use to better support their patients. They also talk about who is most vulnerable and review a few simple steps physicians can counsel patients about climate related health risks. Guests: Diana Howard, MD, AAHIVS is a Family Medicine and HIV specialist who advocates for inclusive, climate-informed medicine that protects vulnerable communities. As UC San Francisco faculty, she empowers residents to understand how a changing climate impacts primary care. Dr. Howard is a constant advocate for medical trainees' involvement in CAFP activities. Alex Sherriffs, MD, FAAFP is a Family Medicine physician and air quality/climate health advocate who has lived and practiced in California's Central Valley for over 52 years. As UC San Francisco faculty, he integrates climate science into primary care and medical education, focusing on geriatrics, environmental health, prevention, and health equity. Dr. Sherriffs brings regional insight into the health impacts of extreme heat, air pollution, wildfire smoke, and climate-sensitive diseases.

Every year, tens of millions of people in the U.S. get the flu vaccine. That's because the virus changes year-to-year and protection only lasts around six months. Adolfo Garcia-Sastre wants to change that. He's one scientist working on a universal flu vaccine that could provide decades of protection against all flu illnesses – but only if his team can find the resources that disappeared when U.S. funding dipped.If you liked this episode, listen to our episode on a vaccine trial that could end HIV.Interested in more medical innovations?

Benson and Stabler look for a killer who met his victim on an anonymous dating site. They arrest Peter Butler, who's been having quickie sex all over town. The detectives link him to the strangled victim and an unsolved rape, but the physical evidence clears him of those crimes. But they learn Peter is HIV positive and, in a fit of misogyny, has been intentionally infecting women. Cabot charges him with spreading the disease. While on trial, one of his victims sprays acid on his face, leaving him permanently scarred. It's not until Peter's kindly grandfather teaches him a lesson on compassion that he takes responsibility for his actions. We're talking about SVU season 11 episode 11 "Quickie." Our guest from our May 6, 2020 episode is Brandie Posey from the Lady to Lady podcast. This episode is inspired by the real-life case of Nushawn Williams.

Synopsis: While biotech is increasingly measured by clinical milestones and financial outcomes, Rahul Chaturvedi welcomes two leaders who argue that true success begins and ends with patients. In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, Mike Raab, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ardelyx, and Laura Williams, Chief Patient Officer, share how empathy, resilience, and patient advocacy have shaped both their careers and the culture of the company they've built. Mike reflects on an unconventional journey that spans pharmaceutical sales, rare disease leadership at Genzyme, venture capital at NEA, and ultimately leading Ardelyx through some of biotech's most difficult challenges—including a Complete Response Letter, massive layoffs, and a historic FDA reversal that resulted in approval without additional clinical trials. Laura shares her path from rural Mississippi to becoming a physician, recounting the transformative patient experience during the HIV epidemic that inspired her move from academia into industry and ultimately into a pioneering Chief Patient Officer role. Together, they explore what patient-centricity truly means beyond corporate slogans, how Ardelyx embedded patient advocacy into the C-suite, and why empathy must be a core competency for biotech leadership. The discussion also dives into clinical trial diversity, commercializing therapies for underserved populations, navigating regulatory adversity, responsible capital allocation, and the future of building enduring biotech companies. It is a powerful reminder that when patients become the North Star, resilience, innovation, and impact naturally follow. Biography: Mike Raab Mike has served as Ardelyx's President and Chief Executive Officer since March 2009. Before Ardelyx, Mike was a partner at New Enterprise Associates (NEA), one of the world's largest and most successful venture capital firms, where he specialized in healthcare investments focusing on the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Prior to joining NEA in 2002, Mike spent 15 years in commercial and operating leadership roles in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. He was senior vice president, therapeutics and general manager of the renal division at Genzyme Corporation, a Sanofi company. In this position, Mike launched and oversaw the sales growth of sevelamer, the leading phosphate binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, with over $1.0 billion in worldwide sales in 2013. Mike was also instrumental in the worldwide launch of Genzyme's therapies for Gaucher disease, Ceredase and Cerezyme. Laura Williams, MD, MPH Laura has served as Ardelyx's Chief Patient Officer since 2025, having joined the company in November 2020 as Senior Vice President, Global Therapeutic Strategies and Patient Advocacy. Laura was later promoted to Chief Medical Officer in 2021. Laura is a life science enterprise leader with extensive experience as a pharmaceutical drug developer, healthcare policy advisor, patient advocate, and portfolio strategist. She is an accomplished, results-oriented, physician scientist and board member who is committed to discovering, developing, and commercializing innovative therapies that address unmet medical need. With nearly 30 years of pharmaceutical experience, across all clinical development phases and multiple therapeutic areas, in both large pharma and smaller biotech, Laura has a proven track-record in drug development, as indicated by her leadership and major contributions toward eight drug approvals.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Dr. John Gildea—a pioneering researcher on gut health, soil and healing.   Our conversation goes deeper than science, tracing Dr. Gildea's unlikely journey from the lab at the University of Virginia to becoming an integral voice in the movement to restore health through soil-based nutrition. Dr. Gildea shares how his partnership with Dr. Zach Bush set him on the path to groundbreaking discoveries in gut health. Together, we discuss the debilitating personal battle I faced with gut issues for over a decade, and how his research and soil-derived formula became the catalyst for my healing—a story echoed by countless others. Throughout the episode, we unpack the science behind gut barriers, explain how environmental toxins like glyphosate disrupt our health, and reveal why reconnecting to nature's intelligence can help the body heal itself from the inside out. Dr. Gildea demystifies the complex processes at play, explaining the pivotal role of NRF2 and the remarkable results he's witnessed firsthand—even in the most challenging cases. Whether you're struggling with chronic gut issues, curious about the root causes of inflammation, or seeking hope for true health, this conversation is a testament to breakthrough science and the power of nature's solutions.
