In the 1980's, an HIV diagnosis was equitable to getting a death sentence. No treatments existed and scientists knew very little about the virus. Today, with advances in education and research, it is not only a preventable disease, but treatments exist that make living with the disease much more manageable. Join us today as we also discuss Truvada, the treatment used in "pre-exposure prophylaxis".  Truvada is a pill that patients can take daily to reduce the chance of HIV infection.   Some other interesting things we discuss on this episode include how often people actually use condoms, ways that condoms can fail, dangers of lambskin condoms, latex allergies, STI transmission methods other than during penetrative sex, and much more.   About our Guest: Matthew Swango, LMSW.

African Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, and this disparity has grown deeper over time. Angela Clabon, CEO of Myrtle Davis Hilliard Comprehensive Health Centers, and Dale Wrigley, Director of Engagement & Advocacy with Saint Louis Effort for AIDS, encourage medical providers to make HIV testing a standard of care so that patients can know their status. They invite all people to get tested in order for treatment to begin early, especially since treatment has become more effective in recent years.
