Very often, when we're trying to solve a problem, we can find the answer in a previous one. So as we try to get people to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID, what might we learn from the techniques used to prevent the spread of HIV?

On this episode, I'm speaking to Dr Jill McDevitt who is a sexologist. She has three degrees in human sexology so is well qualified to help explore what is an unusual topic, but highly relevant ot the podcast. As the subject matter covers adult themes, listener discretion is advised.

Jill came to my attention because of this post on Facebook in which she compared the challenges of getting people to wear masks with the campaign to get people to practise safer sex: https://bit.ly/3fdOkVG

That link is also where you'll find the picture of Jill wearing a particular mask that I also reference on the show.

It's a perfect Human Risk case study and I wanted to know more. In this episode, we talk about Jill's career as a sexologist and then go through her list of learnings. Not only was it a lot of fun to record, but its a very 2020 episode!
