Fighting Stigmas Associated With Infectious Diseases: From HIV to Mpox

The relationship between gay and bisexual men and public health is one that has been forged through the experience of the HIV and sexually transmitted infection epidemics. The proliferation of mpox (formerly monkeypox) among this population in 2022 thrust this historically fraught relationship into the spotlight once again. Characterizing a disease by associating it with a single population or a particular identity has dire consequences, undermining the public health response to the detriment of patients and health care personnel alike. What can we learn from past epidemics that have affected the gay and bisexual community? This episode examines the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the ongoing mpox response, and how we can use these experiences to further combat stigma in health care.
