What The Pox? - Investigating the Mpox (monkeypox) outbreak
QueerAF
15 episodes
3 hours ago

Mpox is more than a virus; it's a story about the health of the LGBTQIA+ community - Listen now


What the Pox? Is the information and support I wish I had at my disposal when I was going through Mpox (Monkeypox). It's also a documentary investigation into the Mpox outbreak with science, stories and resources all shared without stigma or shame. Listen to understand:


  • What we know about the virus, and how it spreads
  • Why we feel shame and stigma about catching it
  • What the parallels are with the HIV outbreak in the 80s
  • Why this sits in a bigger picture with conversations about queer sex and health inequalities
  • And crucially: What can we do next?


Mpox is more than a virus; it also tells us so much about being LGBTQIA+ right now - and that's what this show exposes.


Listen to our ten part documentary series for leading LGBTQIA+ community figures, Mpox experts, sexual health superstars, and real people talking about Mypox and the LGBTQIA+ community without shame or stigma.

Can you even get a Mpox vaccine? We travel around the UK to find out

Can you even get a Mpox vaccine? We travel around the UK to find out

I haven’t had one. Some people have - but with a limited supply left, just who can get a vaccine?


Medical professionals are under the assumption that I currently don’t need a vaccine as they think I probably have some immunity.


But we don’t know how long that will last. I’m nervous about if and what immunity I have and how long it will last. I can’t imagine having to go through all of this again.


And what about the folks that haven’t had Mpox (monkeypox)? How easy is it to get a vaccine? And what about those like me that went through this, was their experience any better? Today, we’re travelling around the UK to find out.


Because if you want to hear about access to the vaccine, then we need to speak to the folks that have tried, succeeded or failed to get hold of one to find out what the pox is going on?


This week's guests:

  • Harun Talunay - Sexual health expert with lived experience of monkeypox
  • Topher Taylor - Award winning pleasure expert and queer columnist
  • Conor Macis - PHD student and Uni of Bristol teacher who shares his monkeypox journey
  • Dan Ellis - Director and actor


Listen to understand:

  • What parts of the UK have better access to monkeypox vaccines
  • Why care is different depending on where you live
  • How soon after having monkeypox can you be more confident that you don't pass it on via sex
