"In this episode, you will hear from Andrew Fullem, the Director of the JSI HIV and Infectious Diseases Center. He talks to JSI Director of Communications, Penelope Riseborough, about the difference between the public health response to HIV in the United States and internationally, the transformation of HIV treatment over the years, and the stigma surrounding HIV. With 27 years of experience in public health, and being a HIV-positive gay man, Andrew Fullem shares a unique perspective on the evolution of the epidemic."
