In this episode, Dr Simon Fox introduces Series 2 of Doctor DILF, the health and wellbeing podcast for older gay and bisexual men. This episode sets out the podcast's mission - not to simply describe the challenges to the health of our communities, but to unpick them, to employ critical thinking, and to ask important questions about who we are, where we've been, and where we go from here.

Doctor DILF Series 2 covers the rollback of DEI measures in the workplace in the face of extreme right wing ideology and discrimination in the workplace. Will queer communities have to hide their true selves at work in the future?

We look at Prime Minister Andy Burnham's proposed new National Care Service and ask if older queer communities will be included in the wake of the DEI rollback?

Sexually transmitted infections and associated conditions are fact-checked and myth busted. What is shigella? What is mpox? And can gonorrhoea really be resistant to antibiotics?

Finally, we delve into the legacy of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s, showcasing new research and talking with two HIV+ men who were there at the time. What is the legacy of the epidemic, and what is it like ageing with HIV?

Doctor DILF is about our health, our bodies, and our communities. The conversation is far from over, so let's get talking!
