HIV Vaccine Susceptibility, Inteleswab Home Tests, Magic Johnson
Research published in Science Magazine suggests that certain COVID-19 vaccine candidates could potentially increase susceptibility to HIV. The hosts examine an advertisement for Inteleswab, a rapid home COVID test manufactured by Orasure, the same company that produces OraQuick HIV tests. They revisit a 2013 clip of Magic Johnson promoting home HIV testing to highlight the parallels in public health marketing.
