How having HIV can impact you financially

In this episode of the Queer Money® Podcast, hosts David and John explore the financial impact of living with HIV with Dr. Loraine Dean, an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Dean shares findings from her studies, highlighting the economic challenges faced by those diagnosed with HIV, such as additional healthcare costs, loss of employment, and lack of financial planning among those who expected shorter lifespans. The discussion also covers the benefits of PrEP in preventing HIV and reducing future financial burdens. The episode emphasizes the need for universal healthcare and policy changes to support those living with chronic conditions, as well as the importance of addressing broader economic and social issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community.
