If You Don't Know - The HIV & DaBaby Story

False claims, music festivals and overcoming stigmas...

Last week US artist, DaBaby, was dropped from a load of gigs he was meant to be performing at, after making false claims about HIV. But it got us thinking, we don't actually know that much about HIV and Aids...

In this week’s episode, we talk to HIV advocate, Mercy Shibemba, about her experience living with HIV, as well as sexual health nurse, Sarah Mulindwa, from Channel 4’s The Sex Clinic, about how to deal with all the HIV myths.

If you or someone you know has been affected by HIV, you can find support on the BBC Action Line: www.bbc.co.uk/actionline.

Hosts: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts
Producers: Jack Suddaby and Seren Jones
Sound Designer: Jack Suddaby
