    AIDS Update '25: The Latest Advancements in HIV/AIDS Prevention

    This episode provides a concise overview of the latest advancements in HIV/AIDS prevention. I offer this info to help bridge the current educational gap in comprehensive sexual health education, from middle school through medical school. This talk covers HIV transmission and highlights current and emerging preventative strategies, including Viral Load (VL), Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U), Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), Treatment as Prevention (TasP), and DoxyPEP. This information is ideal for anyone interested in understanding the current scientific landscape of HIV/AIDS or who wishes to protect themselves and their friends. Please note that this is an excerpt from a longer podcast, which explains the abrupt ending.

    The Qualities of Mercy

    This talk, recorded in 2020 during a Zoom session at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, explores how we can extend mercy to others and grant ourselves permission to live without self-reproach. The inspiration came from a Penn State student who, after hearing me speak, tweeted the words: "Never leave a conversation until love walks in the room." It was also shaped by the insights my nephews shared with me while playing the video game "Overwatch," revealing some universal wisdom. I hope it gives you some comfort.

    I Want to be a Pretty Girl

    This episode is my response to a question from a teenager with a broken heart. She asked me how to be more comfortable looking at herself in the mirror. "I want to be pretty," she stated, "and I want to like what I see."  It was recorded at St. Mark's Church in NYC in 2004, celebrating the launch of my 2nd book, "My Invisible Kingdom: Letters from the Secret Lives of Teens."

    Elegy for a Grieving Mother

    In this episode, I channel the wisdom and compassion of the mothers who experienced the profound loss of their children to AIDS during the early part of the epidemic. I explore what these mothers might say to today's generation of young adults who are now facing an HIV diagnosis.  Recorded on World AIDS Day in 2012, during a Shabbat service in New York City, I believe the insights shared remain highly relevant today.

    Being Enough

    This episode explores what it means to be enough. The concept came from a student who once said, "When I dig deep inside myself, I find there's a wholeness that restores me.” It was recorded during a zoom session at the very start of the Covid 19 pandemic. And remember this: who you are at this very moment is worthy of love.
