@KamiSIUMAN At the moment, yes. 💛 Thanks for asking 🥰. How about y'all?

[Queer from the Straits podcast (NEW episode up 🌈) @QueerStraits]

@KamiSIUMAN Thank you for sharing! Definitely feel the resonance with the connection between pain and addiction.

Our last episode of 2021! We talked to Alaric Tan about addiction & why he started The Greenhouse, a recovery centre for marginalised communities with a trauma-informed and responsive approach. CW this episode mentions physical abuse & conversion therapy. https://t.co/8dDyA4fvoB

In Part Two we talked to @raynerkjtan about the problems with u = u messaging. This was totally new info for us! Have you heard of the undetectable = untransmittable concept? What do you know about HIV? Let us know! Learn more here: https://t.co/tFJisjBTpg

[Queer from the Straits podcast (NEW episode up 🌈) @QueerStraits]

We just read the news about this landmark trial for a "functional cure" for HIV. The potential drug "EBT-101 cuts numerous pieces of the HIV genome in a bid to make it unable to mutate inside the body." Timely, because we just did two episodes on HIV!

[Queer from the Straits podcast (NEW episode up 🌈) @QueerStraits]

We had a two-part conversation with @raynerkjtan about his work as a HIV researcher. In Part One we talk about the barriers to testing for gay and bisexual men in SG and HIV criminalisation in the city state. Listen here: https://t.co/3rsGhgufkv

This #NationalComingOutDay we're sending love to everyone who can't be out, who doesn't want to be. Your queerness is valid no matter what. In our 1st episode, we talked about coming out vs letting in. We hope you have ppl to let in. https://t.co/Md0Bk6gqaa
