Pozcast is a monthly podcast production created by and for people living with HIV. Host James Watson, a person living with HIV active in the fight against HIV stigma, and his guests explore what it means to be poz and share stories of resilience, courage and resolve.
In order to help fight HIV stigma in all its forms, REACH Nexus created pozcast to offer a unique platform for people living with HIV to tell real stories about issues important to them. By shining a light on what's meaningful for people living with HIV through story, conversation and debate, we see more clearly how these issues impact health, lives and work. We also get insight into possible solutions.
HIV stigma is based on fear, misinformation and distorted facts. It thrives in silence. Pozcast offers a platform for people living with HIV to engage in conversation and speak their truth.
Podcasts can be a safer and more accessible media format to share information, while allowing diverse audiences to listen wherever and whenever they want to. Pozcast inspires and informs its audiences, and serves as an important component in our collective efforts to eliminate HIV stigma.
Pozcast was created by and for people living with HIV. In each episode, the host and guests get upfront and personal on issues that matter to the HIV community through candid conversations about health, work, love and life.
Pozcast is produced by The Positive Effect, a facts-based, lived experience movement powered by people living with HIV and run by REACH Nexus.
