Sexual medicine is underfunded, misunderstood, and often dismissed. But it's also one of the most collaborative fields in healthcare. Dr. Tami Rowen recaps this year's ISSWSH conference and what it revealed about where the field is heading.Dr. Rowen is the current president elect of ISSWSH and has been instrumental in shaping sexual medicine education and research. We recorded this right after the 2026 ISSWSH conference in Long Beach, which had almost 600 attendeesone of our biggest conferences yet.We discuss the standout research from the meeting, including award winning work on sexual function after gender-affirming hysterectomy and why most top abstracts focused on sexual pleasure rather than prevention. We talk about the reality of research funding in sexual medicine, why industry support creates conflicts of interest that look bigger than they are, and how lack of NIH funding means we have almost no treatment options for conditions like vulvodynia.We also dive into testosterone therapy why it's controversial, what the data actually shows versus what social media claims, and why Dr. Rowen doesn't treat hormone levels but rather treats individuals with specific goals. We discuss body image after breast cancer surgery, lymphedema's impact on sexual function, and why technoference is contributing to the lowest rates of sex we've ever seen.HighlightsISSWSH focuses on sexual pleasure and quality of life, not just prevention of pregnancy and STIs.Research funding for vulvodynia is $4 million annually versus $800 million for breast cancerthat's one grant versus hundreds.Testosterone therapy should treat symptoms and goals, not hormone levels or deficiencies.Body image and sexual function outcomes are significantly worse after mastectomy versus lumpectomy, even though cancer outcomes are equal.Technoference (technology interference) is contributing to historically low rates of sexual activity.If you're a clinician interested in sexual medicine, consider attending the ISSWSH Fall Course for foundational education and the annual meeting for cutting-edge research. If you're a patient navigating any issues and not currently getting help, know that there are practitioners out there who want to help you.Subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with anyone who wants to learn more about sexual medicine, menopause, or women's health education.Get in Touch with Dr. RowenWebsiteInstagramGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

Intimacy isn't just sex—and for a lot of autistic and ADHD adults, dating can feel like a confusing set of unspoken rules that nobody will explain. In this episode of Adulting With Autism, host April sits down with Mandy Hart, a Certified Sexologist and founder of Hart's Desire—Intimacy and Relationship Coaching, for a candid, compassionate conversation about shame, consent, boundaries, and connection. Mandy blends behavioral science, public health, and trauma-empowered somatic coaching to help people reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and create authentic intimacy on their own terms—whether that's with a partner, multiple partners, or solo. We talk about what it means to feel safe in your body, how to communicate needs and boundaries, how to discuss STIs without panic or shame, and how consent can be sexy, clear, and ongoing (not a checklist). In this episode, we cover: Intimacy vs. sex: expanding what "connection" can mean Shame and self-worth: how it shows up in dating and relationships "Safety in your body" and nervous system regulation Consent skills: how to ask, how to check in, and how to make it hot (not awkward) Neurodivergent dating: navigating cues, boundaries, and communication Asexuality, sensory needs, and relationships without partner sex STI disclosure and sexual health conversations with compassion Connect with Mandy Hart: Website: https://harts-desire.com/  Email: mandy@hearts-desire.com Book a free discovery call via the site Blog: Embodying Hart's Desire

Episode 213: HIV PrEP Review H. Nicole Magaña, medical student, reviews the history of PrEP and outlines the currently FDA-approved medications used for HIV prevention. Dr. Arreaza provides additional perspective on long-acting injectable options, including how quickly they begin to protect patients after initiation.   Written by Nicole Magana, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.

Previous episodes related to HIV:  -Episode 67, HIV history (September 2021) -Episode 68, HIV transmissibility (October 2021) -Episode 70 (October 2021), HIV prevention (including HIV Prep with oral medications) -Episode 98 (June 2022), we introduced Apretude, the first injectable for HIV PrEP. Apretude was approved in December 2021.  What is Pre-Exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)? Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the use of antiretroviral medications taken by individuals who are HIV-negative to prevent HIV acquisition. There are 30,000 new HIV infections annually in the US.  How effective is it? When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at reducing the risk of HIV transmission through sexual exposure and injection drug use. Patients who are adherent to PrEP can lower their risk of contracting HIV by 99%. The effectiveness of oral PrEP is highly adherence dependent. In trials with 70% adherence, the relative risk of HIV acquisition was 0.27, compared to 0.51 with 40-70% adherence and no significant benefit with adherence ≤40%. How does PrEP work? PrEP works by maintaining therapeutic drug levels in the bloodstream and in target tissues. If HIV exposure occurs, viral replication is inhibited, preventing the establishment of infection. Brief History of PrEP. The concept of PrEP originated from early animal studies demonstrating that antiretroviral medications could prevent retroviral transmission when administered before exposure. In 2010, the iPrEx trial showed that daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (known as Truvada) with emtricitabine significantly reduced HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men and transgender women. This was the first large clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of PrEP. In 2012, the FDA approved oral Truvada, which is TDF/FTC (tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine) for HIV prevention. Since then, additional studies have expanded indications and introduced new formulations, including long-acting injectable options. Who Should Be Offered PrEP? PrEP should be considered for any HIV-negative individual at increased risk of HIV acquisition, including Men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, heterosexual men and women with an HIV-positive partner, individuals with recent bacterial sexually transmitted infections, people who inject drugs, individuals engaging in condomless sex with partners of unknown HIV status. Remember that PrEP should be offered in a nonjudgmental, patient-centered manner, make it a safe space to talk openly about prevention of HIV.  Available HIV PrEP Options. Daily Oral PrEP: There are 2 formulations of Tenofovir. There is Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/ Truvada and Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)/ Descovy. Each is available in a tablet combined with Emtricitabine a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Truvada: It is approved for all populations at risk through sexual exposure or injection drug use. Something to look out for before starting this medication is for pre-existing CKD. Do not give to patients who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min. (6) Descovy: This option is approved for men who have sex with men and transgender women but is not approved for individuals at risk through receptive vaginal sex. It has less impact on renal function and bone mineral density compared to Truvada. It can be used in moderately reduced kidney function (GFR between 30-60 mL/min). Truvada and Descovy are taken orally once a day.  After patients start taking these medications, when are they considered to be protected?  Nicole: With daily oral PrEP, guidelines differ with WHO and International Aids Society-USA stating it takes about 7 days, while CDC states 21 days to allow for adequate concentration in tissues (1). Adherence is critical for efficacy. Injectable HIV PrEP. In 2021, the FDA approved the first Injectable PrEP option Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA)- known on the market as Apretude. Cabotegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor administered as an intramuscular injection.Dosing consists of an initial injection, a second injection one month later, and then maintenance injections every two months (1). Another option is Lenacapavir (Yeztugo). The Yeztugo as a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV in Oct 2024. Yeztugo is the first and only FDA-approved HIV prevention treatment that requires just two injections per year, offering a long-acting option for people who weigh at least 35kg. It is given as 2 injections every 6 months. First dose is given with 2 tablets on Day 1 and Day 2, then every 6 months 2 injections on the same day. Clinical trials, including HPTN 083 and HPTN 084, demonstrated that injectable cabotegravir is superior to daily oral PrEP in preventing HIV infection. This advantage is largely due to improved adherence rather than differences in intrinsic drug potency. There have been no head-to-head comparisons between Yeztugo and Apretude, but they are both very effective. Apretude starts protecting 7 days after the first dose, and Yeztugo starts protecting 2 hours after Day 2 (if patient takes the oral loading dose) or 3-4 weeks if no oral load is taken. Injectable PrEP is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with daily pill adherence, have trouble swallowing pills, prefer a discreet option, have difficulty storing their medication or have renal or bone disease that limits the use of tenofovir-based regimens like Truvada and Descovy (6). In one unpublished report by Medline, patients who received Apretude had an increase in bone mineral density compared to those who received Truvada (1). Tests prior to starting PrEP. Before initiating PrEP, patients must be confirmed to be HIV-negative. Baseline evaluation includes HIV testing with a fourth-generation antigen/antibody assay, HIV RNA testing if acute infection is suspected, renal function testing for oral PrEP, Hepatitis B screening, sexually transmitted infection screening, and pregnancy testing when appropriate. PrEP should not be started in individuals with known or suspected acute HIV infection. Monitoring for patients on HIV PrEP. Monitoring typically includes HIV testing every 2 to 3 months, STI screening every 3 to 6 months, renal function monitoring for those on oral PrEP (tenofovir- based), ongoing adherence and risk-reduction counseling. And for injectable PrEP, adherence to the injection schedule is essential, as delayed dosing may increase the risk of resistance if HIV infection occurs. HIV PrEP is not a prevention for other STIs. Screening for STIs and counseling about prevention is essential. Breakthrough HIV infections on PrEP are rare and most often associated with poor adherence or delayed diagnosis. Truvada is more studied in all populations and is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is less data regarding the injectable option in patients who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or whose primary risk factor is injection drug use (1). Injectable PrEP provides an important alternative for patients with chronic kidney disease and bone disease (1). Key Takeaway Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a safe, effective, and evidence-based strategy for HIV prevention. With both daily oral and long-acting injectable options available, PrEP can be individualized to meet patient needs. Normalizing PrEP discussions in clinical practice is essential to reducing new HIV infections and advancing public health goals.  Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Herzlich willkommen zur ersten Rubrikenfolge von Geliebte auf Zeit. Zum Auftakt spielen Lenia und Luisa das Zahlen-Ratespiel. Beide überlegen sich vorab eine Zahl zwischen 1 und 10 und beantworten eine Frage entsprechend der Höhe dieser Zahl. Je höher die Zahl, desto intensiver, direkter oder vielleicht auch unangenehmer wird die Antwort. Es geht um einen möglichen Zettel am Morgen nach einem One Night Stand, um einen Flirt im Gym, um Sextoys – und darum, wie der Titel für eine erotische Geschichte lauten könnte.

Dating and sex can feel like they come with a hidden rulebook. You’re meant to be adventurous but not too adventurous, confident but not reckless, and always somehow immune to consequences. So the potential of catching an STI – whether it’s a scare, a diagnosis, or a message from a clinic – can feel not only a health impact, but also a judgement on our character. In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of STIs in our 20s why they carry so much shame, how stigma shapes the stories we tell ourselves, and what it looks like to navigate disclosure with self-respect. We explore:• How common STIs really are• The most common infections in our 20s• The difference between treatable and manageable• The role of sexual shame and purity culture• How shame drives secrecy and avoidance• When and how to tell a partner, and what to do if you face rejection If you’ve ever felt panicked, embarrassed, or stuck in your head about sexual health, this episode is for you.

This episode is in partnership with the Australian Government. In this episode of the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I yarn with the deadly Amanda Sibosado, a proud Wardandi and Bard woman, PhD candidate, and long-time sexual health educator. Amanda joins me from Whadjuk Noongar Country to talk honestly about sexual health in our communities — from the gaps many of us experienced growing up, to why STIs like syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea are on the rise. We break down what STI testing actually involves, why confidentiality matters, and why relying on symptoms alone can be risky. We also yarn deeply about shame — how it shows up, how our mob push through it every day, and how we can use that same strength to look after our bodies, have safer conversations, and support our young people. This episode goes beyond prevention and treatment, touching on healthy relationships, consent, boundaries, and the role we all play as parents, aunties, uncles and community. This conversation is for our young people, our families, and anyone who’s ever felt unsure or embarrassed about sexual health. Knowledge is power, testing saves lives, and our mob deserve culturally safe care. For trusted information and resources, visit health.gov.au/sti/first-nations. The Black Magic Woman Podcast is hosted by Mundanara Bayles and is an uplifting conversational style program featuring mainly Aboriginal guests and explores issues of importance to Aboriginal people and communities. Mundanara is guided by Aboriginal Terms of Reference and focusses more on who people are rather than on what they do.

This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com Accessible diagnostics isn't a luxury anymore; it's the missing link preventing millions from receiving timely care. In this episode, James York, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Government Affairs for Molecular Testing Labs, discusses how reimagining the patient journey can remove the economic, geographic, and emotional barriers that keep people from getting essential tests. He explains how at-home self-collection, transparent pricing, and frictionless access are transforming diagnostics, especially for conditions like HIV, STIs, chronic disease markers, and wellness indicators. James walks through the challenges of pioneering new models in healthcare, including regulatory hurdles, industry resistance, and the realities of scaling without major outside funding. He also explains why affordability is inseparable from access, how virtual care has shifted expectations, and why focusing on everyday tests, not cutting-edge technology, is where the greatest impact lies. Tune in and learn how simplifying diagnostics can unlock a more equitable, consumer-centered healthcare system! Resources Connect with and follow James York on LinkedIn.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we're just three days away from Christmas? Neither can we! This year absolutely flew by. To celebrate the moment, Julia, Thom, and Anthony come together to break down Amazon Prime's 2025 original holiday film, "Oh. What. Fun." Does the movie live up to its clever premise and stacked cast, or does it fall completely flat? Let's just say the elves are not exactly in agreement. (What else is new?) Along the way, the elves also dives into the Colburn Advent Activities, the Crowe family's ongoing plumbing saga, the latest movies Anthony's watched since the last episode, Steven Beech's spicy Christmas movie opinions, films that may have climbed onto—or slipped off of—our personal Top Ten lists, STDs vs. STIs, and much, much more. Take our word for it: this is a festive, fun-filled, and tangent-fueled episode you won't want to miss. So grab your favorite holiday drink, soak up the glow of your Christmas trees while you still can, and settle in for a good time. As always, thank you all so much for the love and support! We truly appreciate it! And make sure to check your podcast feeds on the 24th for your annual Christmas Eve story!

When we typically think about STI (sexually transmitted infection) or STD (sexual transmitted disease), we think about the usual culprits of chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, etc. But there are also other less familiar bacteria that cause vaginal infections: ureaplasma and mycoplasma. These bacteria, and also BV (bacterial vaginosis), are a different type of STI because they are actually part of the normal vaginal flora. It is only when ureaplasma, mycoplasma, and BV are in imbalance, that they can cause negative vaginal effects similar to STIs, such as vaginal irritation, discharge, odor, etc. In this episode, we dive into all of these confusing areas and more. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.

This episode reviews five oral abstracts on the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria Gonorrhea globally and in the US; clinical trial results of two novel oral antibiotics; and the protective effect of a meningococcal vaccine.

The US has some of the highest rates of STIs and teen pregnancies in the industrialized world. A comprehensive sex education curriculum—which teaches facts on contraception, prophylactics, consent, and STIs—has been available since the 90s. Yet the majority of states require that sex education stress abstinence, and 22 states do not require sex ed in public schools at all. In The Fight for Sex Ed: The Century-Long Battle Between Truth and Doctrine (Beacon Press, 2025), writer, advocate, and historian Margaret Grace Myers shows us how we got here. While the earliest calls for sex ed came from a coalition of religious leaders and doctors at the turn of the century who sought to control the prevalence of STIs, the advent of antibiotics and modern condoms meant that abstinence was no longer good public health policy. The religious right, however, continued to frame it as such, using its impressive machinery to replace scientific facts with conservative Christian values. Because sex ed is not mandated at the federal level, these battles have played out locally throughout the decades: through rigged school boards, administrative oustings, court cases, unjust firings, scare tactics, and threats. Myers also shows how the religious right has worked to narrow the discourse around sex ed, often dictating the terms of debate almost entirely. What we teach young people has serious ramifications for reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality, and public health. Sex education lies at the intersection of these hugely important cultural forces, yet it has been largely invisible. This book illuminates its potential—and its power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The conversation explores everything from the skepticism she faced in disrupting a multi-billion-dollar industry, to how data and wearable technology are transforming women's health. Valeria and Dr. Elina discuss the phases of the female cycle, the negative effects of hormonal birth control, and the importance of empowering women with better education and tools for their reproductive health. They also touch on the future of personalized medicine, male contraception, and the potential of syncing our lives more intentionally with our bodies.

In this episode of The SHEA Podcast, host Dr. Jonathan Ryder (University of Nebraska Medical Center) speaks with Dr. Aditi Ramakrishnan (Washington University in St. Louis) about how antimicrobial stewardship programs can play a vital role in managing and preventing resistant sexually transmitted infections. They explore the challenges and opportunities at this intersection — from the promise and controversy surrounding doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (DoxyPEP), to the debate over routine STI screening among populations on PrEP, and the broader stewardship considerations beyond antibiotic use.

We are back again with Susan Bratton! I'm thrilled to welcome my friend and sex and intimacy expert Susan Bratton back to the podcast for another eye-opening conversation. Susan always brings the real talk, and today we're going even deeper—literally and figuratively—into the world of sexual wellness. We covered so much in this episode:

Warning: this episode contains explicit language.Medieval people weren't prudish—far from it. Dan is joined by medieval historian Dr Eleanor Janega to explore sex, marriage, and desire in the Middle Ages. They delve into the beliefs around sodomy as “non-procreative sex”; pilgrimages as raucous release valves, raunchy art and love spells. They'll look at sex habits among the different classes, queer lives in monasteries, widows' freedoms, abortion, STIs, and the risks of childbirth, and what purgatory had in store for the lustful. Along the way, they bust myths from chastity belts to teenage brides. A funny, frank, evidence-packed tour of how people got down—then worried about their souls.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Matthew Wilson and Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
