SIM Ep 186: World AIDS Day 2018

In this special episode to mark World AIDS Day, Mickey chats with HIV advocate Lizzie Jordan, aka 'the Nigella of HIV'. What a moniker! It’s the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day and while advances in science around the virus are simply incredible, raising awareness and funds, fighting prejudice and increasing education remain vital. The stereotypes and stigma around the virus put people in danger, so they need to change. What's more, around 20,000 people in the UK are thought to be living with undiagnosed HIV, which is why, Lizzie explains, she is always banging the drum for sexual health MOTs.
