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.

Mpox (Monkeypox) is changing - what does the Science say?

I still have a lot of questions about Mpox (Monkeypox). And I've literally made a whole podcast about it.


I remember sitting in the doctor's surgery not long after catching it, wanting to know: What treatment is available? How long will this part last?


Then after I recovered, why wasn't I automatically eligible for the vaccine - am I immune? So I put these questions to the experts and doctors who've been tirelessly to track this outbreak, the changing symptoms and help all of us manage it.


Join us to determine what the science tells us about What The Pox is going on? This week's guests are:


Dr Chole Orkin - British physician and Professor of HIV/AIDS medicine at Queen Mary University of London

Susan Cole - Community engagement, NAM AIDSmap

Joseph Osmundson - American biophysicist and writer

Tri Vo - NYC based graphic designer and illustrator


Listen to understand:


How one doctor worked out that Mpox has changed and re-wrote the symptoms list

The key info about the virology behind transmission - and what this tells us about why more people are catching it

How it's spreading, what we know about immunity, and how effective the vaccines are
