Steven Petrow

In October 2020, journalist Steven Petrow wrote an Op-Ed for the New York Times, "Dating Means Fear. Again." about how dating during COVID-19 was bringing back memories of living through the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this episode, we dig deeper into Steven's experiences of that time and how he is using the lessons of his youth to guide him during the pandemic today.

You can find the Op-Ed here and read more about Steven's work on his website:
