Jess & Sarah are the ultimate hostess's with decades of HIV support work behind them. The pair occasionally bickering over editing out the occasional slip up or mispronunciation, which gets left in post edit. Makes for a podcast that is not over polished and feels as though you are in a conference call with two friends. Every podcast episode is dedicated to a HIV topic... more
