What The Pox? - Investigating the Mpox (monkeypox) outbreak
QueerAF
15 episodes
2 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.

Mpox (Monkeypox) is a devastating global health emergency - can we end the outbreak?

Countries are struggling, vaccines are scarce and mpox (monkeypox) is at risk of becoming endemic in many countries.


In the final episode of this documentary, we find out what actions need to be taken at a global scale to get the outbreak under control.


This virus became endemic in some countries after we first saw it in the 1970s, and we have not done much about it. That bears repeating, for over 50 years - people have been struggling with it, in Central and Eastern Africa - and even now, when it’s spreading around the world - the action is limited.


The most frustrating thing for people with experience and experts is we have the tools to fix this. But only if we work worldwide to prevent future pandemics, if governments step up, and if we change our attitudes to queer sex.


Can we end the outbreak and prevent future ones - let's work out What The Pox? is going on. 


Resources:

  • Ask your GP for a referral to the PLATINUM trial if you've caught or had monkeypox
  • Campaign calling on the UK to do more from THT, NAT and Prepster - Write to your MP tool


This week's guests are:

  • Eolan Mcfadden - Frontline Aids,
  • Dr Jose Hidalgo - Infectious disease physician with Via Libre, Peru
  • Dr Richard Peabody - WHO lead of high-threat pathogen team


Listen to understand:

  • Why countries like Peru are only just seeing their peaks and struggling to respond without global help
  • How globally connected response to infectious diseases is the only way to end this monkeypox outbreak
  • The pandemic preparedness work that the UN, WHO and HIV organisations are taking part in, to try and prevent future pandemics
