The decades-old policy was enacted in the worst days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and while it's been relaxed some in recent years, the latest change represents a major loosening of rules that gay rights activists have long said are needlessly stigmatizing and discriminatory. But some restrictions remain, including one that excludes anyone who uses PrEP, a drug highly effective at preventing HIV infection. Reporter Erin Allday and state Sen. Scott Wiener join host Demian Bulwa to talk about the policy change and the concerns that remain. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
