Your Patients Are Probably Having Anal Sex. Let's Talk About It.

Your Patients Are Probably Having Anal Sex. Let's Talk About It.       It's Pride Month, so we thought: Why don't we talk about anal health? (Or, as we will frequently refer to it on this podcast, butt stuff?)     We know it's a taboo, and many of us are uncomfortable discussing it with our patients. But even though it is awkward, when we recognize that HIV transmissions often occur through anal sex -- and that regardless of sex or gender, many people have anal sex at some point, whether they are admitting it or not -- we can appreciate that we really do need to talk about this.     Our guest for this discussion is Jonathan Baker, PA-C, the Operations Director of Clinical Research at Laser Surgery Care and a leading clinical voice on issues related to anal sex and health care.     Read the transcript, which includes links to additional resources you can utilize yourself and share with your patients: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-podcast-baker-anal-sex     This month's episode is hosted by Juan Michael Porter II. Our executive producer is Myles Helfand; our project manager is Alina Mogollon-Volk; our audio producers/engineers are Alex Portaluppi and Lucy Mueller; and our series editors are Maria Elena Perez and Juan Michael Porter II.
