A DEEP DIVE WITH NATHANIEL HALL | Talking It's a Sin, HIV & Mental Health Medicine

[@felixhenson9926]

As a fellow disabled activist i can rly relate to the whole 'I want the world to see that this doesn't have to be a tragedy, we live perfectly normal lives' and also 'I want you to understand that my conditions DO affect me in quite serious ways, I just don't want your pity'.

Nice! Seeing your content lately made me finally go to a psychiatrist.

Enjoyed your conversation a lot, two intelligent, mindful and respectful people talking about a topic that has thankfully left the dark corner of taboo; the short series „It‘s a Sin“ is worth watching to understand what an HIV diagnosis meant to people only a few decades ago; let alone the gorgeous acting of its main characters

i love that you got an interview with someone from the show! it is so validating and illuminating to have queer history told by and for the queer community, and such a powerful thing to straight-forwardly and openly face things that are shamed and stigmatised. this was such an inspiring addition to my pride month, thank you!

This is an amazing interview! Perfect to put focus on this, specially during Pride month! Such an important topic, and love to hear from someone living with HIV, and also having been in It's a Sin which was such an amazing show, I cried so much! And focusing on how to live with Hiv, as there is no cure, but it's weirdly more common than people know - and as said, for some it's just a small part of them as medications etc to their jobs, but also the stigma and that it evolves differently for everyone, and is very dependent on time of diagnosing etc! Idk it is such a scary thing, but also to make it more spoken about in a different way! Because it is very stigmatized even now... and so much misinformation out there... so thank you for covering this!

Question for people with familiarity with HIV: When does trying to prevent sharing illnesses with an immunocomprimized person become infantalizing/shaming/isolating?

[@gthbtn]

I used to help out at an HIV charity in Birmingham that was closed down about five years ago when funding was no longer ring-fenced and diverted away by Birmingham City Council. A few of the members started meeting upstairs at a pub, which they could only do when the room was available for them to use which is shameful in 2022, especially when there's a dedicated LGBT Centre. They can test you for HIV but if you have it you'll need to go hide away... even white males with all our supposed privilege have no support round here, I wonder about all those people of colour who used to rely on the foodbank and having somewhere to go are doing now. But hey, the council are letting a group of people put up a memorial for those lost to HIV/AIDS - shame the living have been forgotten.

Hi Dr Elliot. I’m currently going through the long ridiculous process of being diagnosed with some form of functional neurological disorder. I was wondering if you’d be able to do a video on the topic. So many of us in the community are tired of being told we’re ‘faking it’ and ‘doing it for attention’. Yes I love having no job, no car and no income with my bf being my full time carer. It’s my favourite 😂

[@CarryOnChronically]

excellent video, thank you both so much xxx

[@lilalmonds4595]

Hey Doc completely unrelated but have you seen the music video for psycho killer by just some videos on KZbin, i think it’s a very realistic representation of how and why people with mental health problems are more likely to be victims and it just captivated me for some reason

[@morbidmacaroni]

Ooohhh I'm early for once :D
