Krishen Samuel: Real Stories from the AIDS Pandemic

Krishen Samuel, born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1986, studied Speech-Language Pathology in Cape Town before pursuing a Master’s degree in Global Health, Public Health and Policy in London. 
 Despite being born after the AIDS pandemic began, he grew up in a country with some of the highest HIV infection rates in the world. Since being diagnosed with HIV in 2009, he has been driven to share his experience and ensure that the events of the 80s and 90s are not forgotten.
 He has written for The Huffington Post UK on HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ issues and is currently doing his PhD in Public Health on a Fulbright scholarship in the US. 

This podcast series features stories taken from our first book, a collection of essays, reflections, and testimonies also entitled ‘Love, Loss & Life’ which you can buy here.

An audiobook is also available here.
