We head to Adelaide for the HIV and sexual health conference from the Australasian Society of HIV Medicine or ASHM.

Ella from the Kirby Institute discusses the intersection of HIV with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

We also hear from Larisa and Carla from UNSW about the Stigma Indicators Monitoring Project for people living with HIV.

Lastly, Dr Rona Carroll from the University Of Otago Wellington speaks about gender affirming care in general practice in New Zealand.

Every week on Well, Well, Well, hosts Michael, Cal, Rachel, and Jacinta pull up a chair for a conversation that feels both essential and familiar. This isn't just another health show; it's a dedicated space focusing on the specific realities of LGBTIQA+ life, from mental wellbeing and sexual health to everyday fitness and community care. The discussions are grounded, tackling topics like HIV with nuance and exploring what holistic health truly means across our rainbow communities. You'll hear the latest information, but more importantly, you'll find relatable perspectives and honest talk that resonates. Produced as a service by JOY 94.9 in partnership with Thorne Harbour Health, the Well, Well, Well podcast extends that community spirit beyond the radio broadcast. It’s where practical advice meets personal understanding, creating a resource that feels like it’s genuinely for us, by us. Tune in for episodes that blend expertise with empathy, always aiming to support and strengthen the wellbeing of everyone under the rainbow.
