Description

This episode, we switch gears a little bit to talk about sex! 
Tony sits down with Dr. Ken Ho, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Linda Nabha, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Pitt as well. So far in our pilot season, we've discussed the threat that antibiotic resistance poses in and outside of hospitals, but did you know that there are some sexually transmitted infections that are beginning to develop drug-resistance as well? 


This week we discuss the importance of routine sexual health screenings, preventative measures and treatments for STIs. We also list the various options for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and reasons why it might be right for you. Lastly, we attempt to demystify the stigmas surrounding STI infections and encourage inclusive public health messaging.
