In this episode, Dr. Carlos Mahaffey is in conversation with Dr. Stacy Smallwood and Dr. Fayth Parks. They discuss excavating archaic ideas that are entrenched in misinformation and unfounded rationalizations around HIV and AIDS. They remind us of the multiple behavioral theories and communication avenues we will need to use to demystify and provide more accurate, uplifting information to help people see things differently; this includes understanding the experiences and challenges that healthcare providers working in the HIV space are facing so that we can better support them.
