The New Era of STI Prevention: From DoxyPEP to At-Home Testing | Safer Sex

In this informative episode of Please Me Podcast, Eve welcomes back Robert Johnson and Anna Osmon from Shameless Care for a candid conversation about modern sexual health, STI prevention, and the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. Together, they break down the evolving landscape of STI prevention and testing, highlighting the limitations of standard panels and the importance of more comprehensive approaches that include oral and anal screening. Robert and Anna also discuss emerging prevention tools like Doxy PEP and how it is changing the way people approach STI risk reduction. The conversation further explores the role of HPV vaccination for adults, including access considerations and insurance coverage, and emphasizes the importance of proactive sexual health care for people in all relationship structures—including non-monogamous and LGBTQ+ communities. Beyond the medical insights, the episode addresses the stigma that often surrounds STI testing and sexual health discussions, and encourages listeners to advocate for themselves within healthcare systems. Robert and Anna also share how Shameless Care is helping bridge gaps in access through at-home testing kits and telehealth services, making sexual health care more accessible and judgment-free.
