Hello Poz People!Our guest this week is Christopher Freibott. Christopher grew up in a small town in Bavaria, Germany called, Bad Neustast an der Saale but has been living in Ireland since 2014. Christopher says he was diagnosed with HIV a few years ago but that it's only in the last two years, after joining the Poz Vibe Tribe during a Pride march, that he started to be more open about his status. Chatting with Veda and Robbie was Christopher's first time making his story completely public but he said he wanted to do it so that people can learn from his experiences and also possibly ‘Kick off some change for all.'Welcome to the tribe Christopher!Love,Veda and Robbie.Poz Vibe Podcast is a Veda Lady and Robbie Lawlor production.

Suzanne describes herself as an extroverted introvert. From a young age she never felt like she fit in and after a series of great and not so great experiences was diagnosed HIV positive. Her life after this was like a blank page and she realized everything within her had to change. This led her to finding what she was passionate about namely nature, spirituality and human behaviors. Suzanne realized that she could help alleviate that feeling in others especially women in similar situations and began working within homeless/addiction services. It was only after a diagnosis of autism that a lot of things clicked within herself. She has spent two years letting go of guilt and shame and is learning to be her authentic self. Finally after a long journey Suzanne is living her life her way.We loved our conversation with Suzanne. Please share with your tribe or anyone you think could benefit from hearing about her story.Love,Veda and Robbie.Poz Vibe Podcast is a Veda Lady and Robbie Lawlor production.

From a very early age she knew the importance of education and was often found tucked away in Kevin Street library with her nose in a book. At age 19, a letter arrived from Mountjoy Prison from Liz's then boyfriend letting her know he had tested HIV positive. It is a difficult relationship but it was hard to leave. However, in 1991, she found the courage to finally leave Dublin and with the help of Women's Aid Liz settles down in a house with a barn in a rural part of County Galway. Liz and the children are happy. During winter that year, Liz becomes ill and asks her GP to do a HIV antibody test. The results come back positive. Her world falls apart once more as one by one her children are tested until it comes to her new born baby. The GP calls him a “miracle baby” as he too returns with a negative result. Liz reaches out toAIDS WEST, a support organisation. She joins a peer support group and finds other positive friends.

Hello Poz Vibers. Our guest this week ‘Prince' has chosen to stay anonymous in this episode. During our conversation Prince shared his experience of what it's like living in Ireland as a gay person and also as an asylum seeker.

Veda and Robbie are together once again for this episode - hurrah! And their guest this week is Oliver Brown. In 2019, following a cycling accident in London, Oli found himself in A&E when he received his diagnosis. In July 2021, he delivered a talk to the British Ministry of Defence, telling his story and challenging their foundation on some of their outdated rules. With the support of the Terrence Higgins Trust, the National AIDS Trust and a network of people, in December 2021, on World AIDS Day, Defence agreed to change its policies and lift all of the restrictions on people living with HIV. This meant those people would be able to join the Armed Forces living with HIV, serve unrestricted if diagnosed and be freely able to take PrEP. We hope you enjoy Oli's story. Love, Veda and Robbie.

*Send your thoughts, opinions, suggestions, and anything else you'd like to share via voicenote to 0892096423*This week's standalone interview is with drag queen, musician and HIV activist Veda. I've been admiring Veda's drag for a frankly shocking number of years now, but have been even more impressed by her work in HIV activism. Veda co-hosts Poz VIbe with fellow HIV activist Robbie Lawlor, 'a podcast for People Living With HIV, their friends, family and allies trying to create change and spread positive vibrations', and their activism has seen them travel the world. Veda's latest project is a short film about her life. Pregnant with a Drag Queen, is super camp and fun, and will air on Virgin Media One on Tuesday the 27th at 11pm, but you can also catch it on the player. I caught up with Veda this week to chat about the film, her life, her work, and what it was like to be young and gay in 90s Dublin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He returned to live in Ireland in early 2022, after 28 years living away and works for himself in the music industry.
