Sep 13, 2022 - Dr. Theo Hodge, Jr. - Monkeypox, Vaccines, Disparities, and HIV

Our guest for this podcast is Dr. Theo Hodge, Jr., Medical
Director of the Washington Health Institute and Port of Harlem
contributor. Dr. Hodge is especially interested in the study and
treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and an outspoken
proponent of HIV prevention. Today, we will take about another
disease, in particular, monkeypox.


As of today, nearly 38% of monkeypox cases are among Black
people, yet Blacks represent only 12% of the US population. We
will also talk about these disparities and the vaccine.
