On this episode, Farhad and Navin talk to the Queer Mental Health Professional, Richa Vashista. She shares her journey of coming out and working with queer communities to talk about the stigma around HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections.

What is high-risk behaviour? What is condom negotiation and how can one practice self-care? How does Humsafar help people by talking about physical, mental and sexual health? Has STI been mis-represented in Pop culture? Tune in to steer clear of all the doubts you have around this STIgma.
