The fabulous Miss Geena joins Sexual Transmission hosts Stef and Blaise to have an intimate chat about their gender identity journey for Transgender Awareness Week. Geena shares what it was like to be closeted in real life but open online and how YouTube helped them gain the confidence to share their real Britney Spears worshipping self. We talk about their journey as a transgender woman doing Drag and how their expression of femininity has changed over time.

Get your red ribbons ready because it’s World AIDS Day.
Growing up gay during the AIDS epidemic was no walk in the park. On this special World AIDS Day episode Paul Blatchford from the Positive Speakers Bureau shares the inspiring story of his life-long battle for personal liberation. We don’t just mourn the loss of millions to AIDS related illness, we also celebrate the last 40 years of progress that let so many people living with HIV live full and healthy lives today.

Some things are back in trend like scrunchies and monochrome power suits.. but can we all just agree to leave HIV stigma in the 1980s?
On this episode of Sexual Transmission NZAF's own Services and Outreach Coordinator Rodrigo Olin joins us to talk about the effects of stigma on people living with HIV. We examine stigma from all it's ugly angles including the gross comments from within the gay community to deeply rooted internalised stigma.
Stef bravely shares some deeply personal stories and Blaise officially coins the term Intergenerational Internalised Serophobia (and not just to cheat at Scrabble).
It's a heavy topic, but an important one. Is your HIV attitude up-to-date?
