Spotlight: Living With HIV

I’ve put together three separate interviews, where I aim to find out more about what it’s really like to live with HIV, and about the groundbreaking new treatment that Scotland is the first country in the world to offer. Those guests are two men, Brian and David, who have been living with the virus for quite some time, and from Dr Nneka Nikwolo. They each give me a personalised account of their lives, the realities of living with HIV and the challenges they've faced.www.dontfretaboutdebt.net/blethered/Tickets for Blethered LIVE at St Luke's with Darren 'Loki' McGarvey: gigss.co/bletheredContact: seanmcdonald.podcast@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01 Hosted on Acast.
