What The Pox? - Investigating the Mpox (monkeypox) outbreak
QueerAF
15 episodes
6 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.

Just What The Pox is going on?

Monkeypox. That’s what we’re here to talk about. Quite a lot of people have got it or had it at this point. I’m one of them. And it was not fun. 


When I was home alone with Monkeypox in all kinds of pain, Feeling scared and alone I had very little information. So I went online to find help. 


And guess what - there wasn’t much official advice. But I did start talking to all kinds of people: experts, people who’ve had the virus, And to those who see this outbreak, as part of a much bigger picture.


Monkeypox is spreading worldwide- and for many of us queer people, the response feels a bit too familiar…You see History rarely repeats. But it often rhymes. 


This podcast is basically all things a needed to hear when at the time. It’s for anyone who has or had Monkeypox - plus anyone who is queer, or cares about LGBTQIA+ people, or is just worried about this outbreak. So yeah, it’s kind of for everyone. 


Because although Monkeypox isn’t a 'gay and bi men’s' disease; for now it's predominantly affecting sexually active men who have sex with men. That’s because of the way it spreads, mostly through sexual contact. And well, everyone can have sex. That’s why it’s important that everyone understands how it's moving between people. Listen to understand:


  •  Why we're feeling shame and stigma
  • The parallels with the HIV outbreak in the 80s
  • The broader queerness at play


And I’ll let you in on a secret - we have the tools to manage this outbreak, we’ve just got to use them


So join us for this rapid response series from QueerAF and me, Martin Joseph as we try to work out - just What The Pox? is going on.


Tune in every Wednesday for leading Monkeypox experts, sexual health superstars, and real people talking about Monkeypox without shame or stigma.
