In the 1980's, an HIV diagnosis was equitable to getting a death sentence. No treatments existed and scientists knew very little about the virus. Today, with advances in education and research, it is not only a preventable disease, but treatments exist that make living with the disease much more manageable. Join us today as we also discuss Truvada, the treatment used in "pre-exposure prophylaxis". Truvada is a pill that patients can take daily to reduce the chance of HIV infection.
Some other interesting things we discuss on this episode include how often people actually use condoms, ways that condoms can fail, dangers of lambskin condoms, latex allergies, STI transmission methods other than during penetrative sex, and much more.

If you cannot tell from the title, this episode needs a bit of a trigger warning. It contains dscussions about rape, stalking, child molestation, and PTSD. Despite the warning, it is actually a wonderful episode with a great story of survival. If you are able to hear stories about those topics, I don't suggest you miss this one. Meredith is an amazing person and we felt very honored that she was willing to share her story with us.
About our Guest:
Meredith Dino
I was born in St. Louis. At age two my parents divorced and I went to daycare while they worked. My sexual abuse began at age 6 at the daycare center. It continued until I was eight when my mom married and we moved to Detroit. Then the abuse stopped.
I still struggle but I continue to learn how to live with my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through therapy, medication, and the support of my family and friends.
