You’re Not Alone: Talking About STIs and Staying Connected

In this episode of "Unzipping Taboos: Candid Conversations about Sex with Dr. Sue & Charlie," we tackle the topic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with a focus on support and open communication. Dr. Sue and Charlie discuss how STIs impact different age groups and the unique challenges each group faces, breaking down common fears and misconceptions. They emphasize that anyone can be affected and that no one should feel alone or without options. We discuss the importance of open and honest conversations about STIs with partners, and  removing the stigma that often surrounds these discussions. Dr. Sue talks about how common STIs are, and some of the reasons why people don’t take steps to reduce their risk, while Charlie helps to highlight the importance of staying informed and connected. Charlie and Dr. Sue emphasize that you are not alone in your reaction to the amount of information to consider surrounding STIs and individual risk.
