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.
