You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Podcast.

Who are you and what are you doing here?

Hi, Dan.

My name's V.

Chu.

I'm a doctor in the community, a gay doctor.

I'm here because my partner surprised me with a Savage Love podcast guest spot.

It was for charity.

It was the stranger crombie auction last year.

Oh, that was the one.

Usually it's just me and the Texcavy at risk youth. But then I came in here today and there's a very handsome dude sitting here in a black shirt. So he just sent me an email and said, by the way, you're going to be on Savage Love, which was actually a great honor because we used to listen to you guys when you were, when you did these radio show with Mary Martone.

Oh, my God, which was actually a great honor because we used to listen to you guys when you were, when you did these, the radio show with Mary Martone. God, that was eight million years ago. So I'm kind of dating both of us. You're four years old then? Were you listening to your preschool? Well, that was a while ago, yeah. But it was fun. And so it's kind of cool to be here.

Okay. What qualifies you to muscle into my podcast and give advice? Let's see. Well, I, so I helped co-found Seattle's sort of GLPT-focused primary care clinic. We do HIV medicine, transgender homeotherapy as well. So I get a lot of sort of. Are you a doctor? I'm a doctor. Okay. So basically you're more qualified to give advice than I am. About most everything. For some things. Some of these questions you're having me look at, oh, wow, they're kind of, I mean, they'll be interesting. But yeah, I answer a lot of... Every day is sort of a savage love for me in some ways. I get a lot of really, really interesting questions that I try to answer, but a lot of it's just hand-waving as well.

Okay.

Well, before we get to some calls and test your advice giving skills, which I'm sure are mad skills, as the kids were saying about eight years ago.

I wanted to ask you first about this aid study today that was released, CDC, a big breakthrough.

They're calling it treatment as prevention.

Yes.

And it seems like a very big deal, and it points in some directions that some people may be

uncomfortable.
