]]> 1901 no HIV: Rethink, Rebuild and Rise Up - With the IAS’ Birgit Poniatowski https://www.youtube.com/@shotarmpodcast Ben talks with Birgit Poniatowski, the Executive Director of the International AIDS Society (IAS), about the role of professional associations in the HIV movement and IAS’s convening power. Poniatowski describes IAS’s origins in 1988, its 13,000-member multidisciplinary base including people living with HIV, and its three main conferences: the IAS Conference on HIV Science (odd years), the International AIDS Conference (even years), and HIV Research for Prevention. They discuss why the International AIDS Conference remains vital amid abrupt funding cuts and shifting donor priorities, the limits and value of hybrid/virtual formats, and plans for AIDS 2026 in Rio with the theme “Rethink, Rebuild, Rise,” emphasizing rebuilding systems for long-term realities, financing and equity, and a broad prevention toolbox. Poniatowski also outlines IAS governance changes to embed community decision-making, priorities “2026 onwards,” youth leadership programs, her career path, and how to engage via the IAS website and volunteering.

]]> 4560 no Reflecting on Global Health’s Many Eras with WHO's Andy Seale In this episode of 'A Shot in The Arm Podcast,' host Ben Plumley reconnects with his longtime friend and colleague, Andy Seale from the World Health Organization. The conversation spans decades of their personal and professional journeys across global health, with a primary focus on HIV, TB, and malaria. Ben and Andy discuss the challenges and triumphs of their work, including Andy's experience with HIV diagnosis and the global fight against pandemics such as Ebola.

In this episode of 'Colon Meet Cancer,' Ben recounts the surprising success story of Henrik Gretzky's Symphony Number Three, how badly it was initially received by the musicology world and draws a surprising parallel to his chemotherapy journey. He shares the complex experience of managing an increasing range of chemo side effects, including white blood cell treatments, pain, and hair loss. Ben candidly discusses his struggles with memory fog, the challenges it brings, and the ensuing emotional toll manifested as depression and self-reflection. Despite the adversities, he highlights the importance of humor, intellectual stimulation, and staying hopeful. One of the tools he has used has been late night reflections on controversial topics, and he closes out the episode with Ben by sharing one of those midnight reflections - the potential risks and benefits of AI in healthcare.

]]> 1288 no The Future of the Global HIV Response: A Post-World AIDS Day Reflection https://www.youtube.com/@shotarmpodcast A Shot in the Arm Podcast is proud to bring you another installment of Global Health Diplomats! In this compelling episode, co-hosts Ben Plumley and Eric Goosby dive deep into the future trajectory of the global HIV response. Following World AIDS Day, the discussion spans a 38,000-foot view of where the HIV epidemic stands, its critical challenges, and the evolving strategies needed for a sustainable, long-term response. From the impact of geopolitical shifts on access to treatment and care to the integration of HIV programs with broader primary healthcare systems, this episode unpacks the most pressing issues in global health today. Key Highlights: HIV Goals for 2030: Reality Check Are we close to ending AIDS as a public health crisis? Dr. Eric Goosby reflects on the progress made and the significant hurdles ahead. Quote: "We've built breathtaking infrastructure over 25 years, but it’s clear we won’t cross the 2030 finish line without major shifts." (Eric Goosby, 00:01:24) The Role of Targets in the HIV Response Are political targets still relevant in today’s complex world? Ben and Eric debate the pros and cons of target-driven approaches in global health. Quote: "Targets have driven investment and expanded care, but we may need to rethink them in light of new challenges." (Eric Goosby, 00:05:26) Primary Care Integration Why the HIV response must pivot toward integrated primary healthcare to address non-communicable diseases and pandemic preparedness. Quote: "For people living with HIV, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and cancer are now the bigger threats. Primary care is key." (Eric Goosby, 00:07:46) The Geopolitical Impact on HIV Care Rising anti-rights movements and geopolitical challenges make it harder to bring marginalized populations into care. Quote: "The rights-based approach to care is under siege globally, making access for key populations even tougher." (Ben Plumley, 00:10:04) Funding Sustainability Beyond 2030 Exploring innovative funding mechanisms, domestic ownership, and the evolving role of multilateral agencies like the Global Fund. Quote: "Transitioning to country-driven funding is essential. It’s time for governments to take ownership." (Eric Goosby, 00:30:01) HIV Prevention’s Urgent Need for Innovation Despite treatment advancements, global prevention efforts lag behind, especially for at-risk populations. Quote: "Prevention needs to focus on behavior, access, and new technologies like PrEP for real impact." (Eric Goosby, 00:37:26) Upcoming Episodes in the Series: Rights-Based Approaches in HIV Care Funding the Future: Domestic Resource Mobilization for HIV Programs Prevention Innovation: From Behavioral Change to Biomedical Solutions Reimagining Global Health Architecture Post-2030 Acknowledgments: This podcast is made possible by the generous support of the John T.

]]> 3303 no Integrating Diagnostics for Global Health Equity with Dr. Ben LaBrot https://www.youtube.com/@shotarmpodcast Ben Plumley sits down with Dr. Benjamin LaBrot to discuss innovation and equity in global health diagnostics, focusing on diagnostics' pivotal role in addressing HIV Disease. The conversation covers key themes in diagnostic integration, barriers in middle-income countries, and the critical role of diagnostics in disease prevention and management for other conditions as well, like hepatitis, and tuberculosis. Host: Ben Plumley, Global Health Strategist Guest: Dr. Benjamin LaBrot, Physician and Global Health Advocate, Roche Diagnostics Key Topics Covered Diagnostics and Patient Empowerment Diagnostics are essential for individual treatment and monitoring, especially for diseases like HIV. LaBrot emphasizes that diagnostics need to evolve to provide integrated testing options for a holistic patient approach. Integration in Global Health Services Dr. LaBrot highlights the need for integrated diagnostic services to reduce fragmentation in healthcare, where separate tests for HIV, STI, hepatitis, and TB are offered. This integration can streamline diagnosis and improve patient care, particularly in low-resource settings. Middle-Income Country Challenges Middle-income countries feel underserved in global health funding and support, often excluded from international resources aimed at lower-income nations. Dr. LaBrot advocates for a more inclusive funding approach, arguing these countries have the infrastructure to maximize benefits from increased diagnostic support. Advances in Diagnostic Technology Dr. LaBrot shares how innovative approaches like plasma data separation cards offer practical solutions for remote and low-resource settings, enabling stable blood sample transport without refrigeration. This innovation bridges the gap between point-of-care testing and lab-based diagnostics, crucial for rural and underserved areas. The Role of Influencers and Education in Health Communication Both Ben Plumley and Dr. LaBrot stress the importance of reaching patients through trusted community influencers and digital platforms. Highlighting Panama’s COVID-19 communication strategy, they underscore how trusted leaders and influencers can combat misinformation and promote health education effectively. Memorable Quotes “In a fragmented healthcare system, diagnostics integration is not just optimal; it’s essential for the effectiveness of any treatment.” - Dr. Ben LaBrot “Middle-income countries feel left out—too well-off to receive international aid but lacking resources to implement comprehensive healthcare.” - Dr. Ben LaBrot Connect with Us If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate us five stars, and share the conversation on global health equity.

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.

]]> 2013 no Episode 9 - The Disparate Worlds of the Possible and Struggle https://www.ashotinthearmpodcast.com 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. Links you may find useful: AVAC https://hornet.com/abouthttp://video.wired.com/watch/blockchain-explained IPPF International Partnerships for Microbcides https://www.tballiance.org/ https://www.preventionaccess.org/ https://tac.org.za https://womendeliver.org/  If you are concerned, or want to learn more about HIV testing, prevention and treatment: http://www.thebody.com https://www.calpep.org/ https://sfcommunityhealth.org/ And for your delight: http://www.nilerodgers.com/about/projects/chic https://www.earthwindandfire.com/You can find us at:Apple PodcastsSpotifyStitcherGoogle Podcastsand on Facebook and Twitter @shotarmpodcast.

David explains why it's really important for community organizations providing infectious disease services - particularly HIV - to take notice now.
