Ep. 3: The Face of AIDS
Saturday, 30 November, 2019

In the conclusion to our series, we examine the current state of HIV and Cuba through the eyes of interview participants. The Cuban volunteers who deliver messages of HIV prevention and education to gay people, women, and people with HIV usually share those identities with their audiences. This facilitates a shared enthusiasm that enables Cuba's Ministry of Public Health to reach many people with meager resources. Activists who work to raise awareness and improve quality of life for people with HIV struggle to overcome resource deprivation, cultural barriers and even resistance from within Cuba's government. In this podcast, we again turn to the interviews to shed light on what this all means for Cuba and for the rest of the world. (0:00-5:45) Intro: Overview of how the Cuban Ministry of Public Health fights HIV along with areas for improvement (5:45-14:18) The state of gay life in Cuba: the call is coming from inside the house!
