π¨ NEW PAPER!
π³οΈβπ How important was HIV to gay men's experiences of COVID?
π¦ We argue that not much: gay men's experiences of COVID-19 fear were more informed by ethnic background, socio-economic position, and social support networks.

π¨ Our dataset from the Viral Memories project is available on UK Data Service ReShare: reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/858247/
It includes interviews with 29 gay men about how memories of HIV/AIDS shaped their understandings of COVID-19, and how COVID-19 reframed memories of HIV and AIDS.
