Poz Vibe Podcast

Louis Byrne has cut hair for the stars, partied like there was no tomorrow, and nearly made sure there wasn’t one. A working-class lad turned award-winning global hairstylist, HIV positive, in recovery, still standing, and now standing on stages telling the truth most people are too scared to say out loud.Louis is also the founder of I Can, I Am, I Will CIC, and he’s not here to give you a hug and a hashtag. He’s here to hand you the tools that actually work: the I Can, I Am, I Will journal , the Reset to Rise programme and a Junior programme that gets into schools before life gets its claws in.By day, he’s a DayFever DJ and dancer. By night, he’s spilling everything in his memoir Confessions of a Hairdresser on Substack. No filter. No shame. No going back.Thanks for sharing your story with our tribe Lewis and thank you all for listening.Love,Veda and Robbie.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Poz Vibe Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Veda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lady and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Robbie Lawlor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.

Professor Fiona Lyons is a consultant in genitourinary and HIV medicine at St James's Hospital, Dublin, and a clinical professor in the School of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. She has worked in HIV care since 1993. Fiona says when she started her career there was little hope that people living with HIV on effective treatment could expect the same life expectancy as everyone else but that has changed. For ten years Fiona was clinical lead of the HSE's National Sexual Health Programme. In this role, she was central to the development of Ireland's first ever sexual health strategy, the roll out of PrEP - a medication that, when taken, can prevent HIV infection and the launch of the free, national, at home STI screening service - SH24.During this time the HSE also partnered with Poz Vibe Tribe on the "You, Me and HIV" campaign, which set out to challenge public perceptions of HIV.Fiona has since returned to full-time clinical work at the GUIDE Clinic at St James's, caring for people living with HIV and those with sexual health needs.Thanks for listening and pass on the episode to anyone you think would benefit from its message.Love,Veda and Robbie.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Poz Vibe Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Veda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lady and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Robbie Lawlor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ production.
