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.

He held the title of Mr Rubber Ireland 2021 and placed second at Mr International Rubber in Chicago in 2023. He is a founder and secretary of Pups and Handlers of Ireland who recently celebrated their tenth birthday as a community group. He produces the Puppy Ireland title hosted during Dublin Leather Weekend which will take place in Pantibar on Saturday 23rd January 2027. Alongside his roles in the pup play space Dan is an active volunteer for both Leathermen of Ireland and Out in Kink, and most recently has established Ireland's newest iteration of Rubber socials under the banner "Shine Ireland" Pup Blondie is a Dublin based kinkster, living and loving life with their partner Rolo. This over caffeinated canine lends a supporting role as the go to volunteer for whatever endeavour the Pups & Handlers of Ireland have in their doggy bowl. Tasks may include lifting heavy things, decorating events and acting as a doggy/dodgy DJ during the Puppy Ireland election. Blondie has attended fetish events from Folsom Berlin to Fort Lauderdale Florida, Manchester to Antwerp and is excited to attend many more in the future. For him, fetish is a link between many communities that create bonds of familiarity and acceptance, love and openness. The ideals of this community are to tear down the stigmas of shame and encourage pride and self care. To quote his favourite song "What the world needs now.."
