Mabuhay! A Conversation with Congressman TJ Cox (S01 Ep10)

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

In this episode we meet Democrat Congressman TJ Cox. TJ was part of the Democrat wave that retook the House of Representatives in 2018. He is progressive and passionate about healthcare for all, immigrants' rights and diversity. He is also the first Filipino American to be elected from California to the House of Representatives. We love him because he knows the district he represents. District 21, in the California’s Central Valley, is the country’s largest producer of milk, but it is also the largest producer of meth. TJ understands the challenges, but he is also laser-focused on helping his constituents seize the opportunities in biotechnology and agriculture that will transform their health and prosperity.

The Disparate Worlds of the Possible and Struggle (S01 Ep09)

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 08:00:00 GMT

In our latest episode, the clash of two worlds; the possible and the struggle. We are confronted with the insane disparity between a world ripe with potential with the swipe of a smart phone, and a world that is fighting for basic access to a fifty year old contraceptive technology and links to HIV prevention for African women.

Ben chats with Sean Howell, co-founder of the LGBT social media site Hornet App and Chair of the LGBT Foundation. With all the concerns about privacy and political hacking, social and digital media may seem a curious place to disclose your HIV status, that you are U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) or that you are on PrEP. Yet, that is exactly the future Sean is building. Join us as we have a rollercoaster of a conversation, up and down the insanely fast-moving world of technology that will affect the health and wellness of everyone.

But just beforehand, Ben catches up with South African HIV and women's rights activist, Yvette Raphael, recorded from Durban, South Africa. We met Yvette in the 3rd episode of the podcast, and she is in Durban for the South African HIV Conference. She gives us a direct update on the results of the largest trial ever of just under 8000 women across eastern and southern Africa - looking at whether different contraceptive options affect their risk of HIV transmission. The trial is called ECHO and the bottom line is that a woman's risk of getting HIV is not negatively impacted by whichever contraceptive she takes. This is huge news and can't be ignored by governments and funders. It must transform the way HIV and family planning work together, particularly across sub Saharan Africa.

The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Pangaea (S01 Ep08)

Sat, 08 Jun 2019 22:00:00 GMT

A new episode of A Shot In The Arm is out!

This week it is just me. I tell the story of Pangaea Global AIDS, a global non profit think tank and technical assistance agency that I had to be the privilege to lead for seven years, and which closed in 2017. Its a tough but ultimately positive story. Many listeners have urged me to reflected on the contribution of non-profit, non governmental organizations, what they do and what happens when they know they need to pack up shop...

Of Microbes and Meat (S01 Ep06)

Wed, 22 May 2019 21:00:00 GMT

A new episode of A Shot In The Arm is out! This week, host Ben Plumley and treatment literacy advocate, David Evans, look at the state of antibiotic research, and why the world desperately needs both new antibiotics, and change the cavalier way it uses the antibiotics it already has. From the way we treat diseases, clean our homes and grow our food, antibiotics have been a central part of our lives since the 1940s. We also look recently passed laws in some southern states that will severely restrict women’s reproductive rights, and what we need to do right now to protect the right to choose.

The Greatest Experiment In Social Services (S01 Ep05)

Thu, 09 May 2019 04:00:00 GMT

This week David Evans, internationally respected treatment and science literacy expert, joins us from Pasadena, CA as we explore how healthcare might be delivered in the USA. We look at some proposals for Medicare for All that are on the table, and how different strategies led by the public sector and - or the private sector might be implemented. David explains why it's really important for community organizations providing infectious disease services - particularly HIV - to take notice now. Many of the drugs we use are coming off patent, and this will have major consequences for funding, if we are not prepared.

All About the Money (S01 Ep02)

Sun, 14 Apr 2019 08:00:00 GMT

In the latest episode of A Shot In The Arm Podcast, we explore how much money is needed to end global infectious disease, and talk with the Head of Friends of the Global Fight, Chris Collins about how to protect and nurture US investment in the Global Fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria.

This episode gets down and dirty about the money - how much funding is needed to end infectious disease, who much is currently being spent, and how to get the US Congress to sustain its investment in global health. The US is by far, the largest donor in infectious disease in the world. We explore with Chris Collins, Head of the Friends of the Global Fight how to build support in Congress, the private sector and the general public.

21st Century Prevention (S01 Ep01)

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 09:00:00 GMT

In the first episode, “21st Century Prevention,” host Ben Plumley explores the future of HIV prevention with guest, Gloria Lockett, co-founder of California’s Prostitute Education Project (CALPEP). The future isn’t just biomedical, its about incorporating new medicines and diagnostic tests into education and prevention outreach with communities most affected by HIV.

We also meet Venezuelan human rights lawyer, MaryAnn Torres, the head of ICASO, to learn more about how the political and economic crisis is having a devastating impact on the health of everyday citizens. Its a story of medicines stolen by the government, and lives put at risk.
