Episode Notes

Happy New Year! On episode 321, I sit down with the President of QCarePlus Quinton Rasberry as we talk about the accessibility and the importance of at home testing kits for HIV and why home delivery of things like PREP is important for the disabled community. I also give Quinton the opportunity to ask me questions about disability, because I believe that one of the ways that we dismantle ableism is through asking questions. Enjoy this one!
