#1. What does having HIV mean? - with Jon King
Episode description
The debut of To Hump A Pillow with Ellen Melon! During this first episode, Ellen sits down with Minneapolis-based muralist and hand-letterer extraordinaire, Jon King. They discuss his upbringing as part of a large family living in rural Wisconsin, how sex-education was addressed while being home schooled, and coming out as queer in his 20s and a brief discussion on being in the gender binary. Finally, his story of contracting HIV and what it means to live with HIV.
Thank you Jon King for your honesty and vulnerability during this session.
