Podcasts about stis

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.

We get straight into the Brown “hit” conspiracy talk, the SAPS mess and who is likely to face real time, the MK Party soap opera that made Des van Rooyen chief whip for a day, and why the ANC keeps winning even when everyone is mad. We unpack the Vodacom Please Call Me settlement and what Nkosana Makate might actually walk away with, plus the hard reality of HIV and STIs today vs the Manto era, testing vs prevention, and how “intersections” still trap the middle class. We close with Big Sean and Jhené Aiko's split and the uncomfortable truth about marriage timing, honeymoon expectations, and what men and women won't say out loud. #TheDojoPodcast #SouthAfrica #SApolitics #SAPS #Hawks #MkhwanaziEnquiry #MKParty #DesVanRooyen #Zuma #ANC #Elections #PleaseCallMe #Vodacom #NkosanaMakate #HIV #STIs #ARVs #Intersexions #BigSean #JheneAiko

Ghana AIDS Commission to Roll Out Condom Vending Machines at Youth Events to Curb STIs

Die Schweiz ist ein Hotspot beim Klimawandel. Albert Rösti sieht ganz neue Gefahren auf uns zukommen.

Ua iloa i se su'esu'ega a le Univesite o New South Wales le tulaga maualuga o le aofa'i o tagata muamua e pesia i faama'i e mafua mai i feusua'iga poo sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).

Auf dem Verordnungsweg will Bundesrat Albert Rösti erreichen, dass auf Hauptstrassen innerorts künftig grundsätzlich Tempo 50 gilt und die Hürden für Tempo 30 steigen. Nun wenden sich Gemeinde- und Städteverband in einem offenen Brief an den Bundesrat. Weitere Themen: Frankreich hat die Webseite des umstrittenen chinesischen Onlinehändlers Shein vorläufig gesperrt. Grund ist der Skandal um Sexpuppen, die wie Kinder aussehen und die weltweit erste Verkaufsfläche für Kleider von Shein, die am Mittwoch in Paris eröffnet wurde. In Norwegen sind Elektrobusse im Einsatz, die aus China ferngesteuert werden können. Auch in der Schweiz setzt man im öffentlichen Verkehr künftig auf chinesische Technologie. Beispielsweise hat Postauto gerade ein selbstfahrendes Robottaxi aus China vorgestellt, das bald Postautos ablösen soll.

In this enlightening episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I am joined by Dr. Rebecca Lahan, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist, to discuss the multiple challenges that older people experience in their quest for pleasurable sex, from physical limitations and hormonal shifts to the impact of medications.

A lecturer at the Department of Medical Diagnostics at KNUST, Laud Anthony Basing, has sounded the alarm over the rising number of young women unknowingly living with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), following a recent study that screened more than 3,000 students

Content note: adult language; sex; cheating; STIs; faith. What if the thing you're sure will ruin you is exactly what frees you? This is a raw, unfiltered origin story: the night Rebecca Antonucci chose herself, cheated, contracted herpes, and drew a line in the sand between the life before and the life after. It's an episode about choice points, spiritual framing without punishment, sexual truth-telling, and the cost of staying where you're not chosen.We Cover: God isn't punitive; choice is sacred. Your life shifts when you accept you're never powerless, even at your lowest. Sexual mismatch is a relationship truth, not a character flaw. Ignoring it invites jealousy, acting out, and resentment. Choice points are everywhere. Barricades, bollards, “wrong turns,” and gut pings aren't traps,  they're mirrors. Shame alchemizes into leadership when owned publicly. When you tell the story, it stops using you. Apology ≠ change. “Sorry” without a sustained behavior shift is emotional gaslighting. Disclosure is adult intimacy. Herpes status and sexual stamina/values are baseline conversations, not awkward footnotes. Self-drop = collateral damage. Every time you abandon yourself, you end up betraying others too. Time Stamps: 00:00 – Prayer, not perfection: Why a 30-second prayer beats a performative morning routine. 01:37 – Before vs. After: The pivot point that split Rebecca's life in two. 02:12 – Training & telling the story: Why this is the first time you're hearing all of it. 03:24 – The confession: Cheating, herpes, and unmet sexual needs. 12:36 – The grief & the rage: Being ignored hurts more than bad sex. 21:16 – The travel expo test: Following a man who won't choose you. 33:50 – Why the lesson stuck: Expander energy and owning the price of the ride. 35:10 – Integrity vs. pattern: When you know it's over but keep saying yes. 37:53 – Why herpes became grace: The line in the sand that prevented the relapse. 45:00 – Boundaries with temptation: When your libido tells the truth you won't. 49:57 – The new disclosure standard: Status and stamina. 51:08 – Compassion for the younger self: She did the best she could. 56:48 – Nature loves courage: The quote that carried the reveal. I get SO lit up by every single conversation I have with my community.

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.

In this solo episode, I'm diving into my own experience with dating, setting boundaries, and figuring out what really matters when it comes to love and relationships at this stage of life. From financial security to sexual health, and even politics, I share what I've learned about myself — and why holding firm to your non-negotiables isn't being picky, it's being honest.Timestamps:00:00 – 00:48 Why I Actually Love Dating Apps00:49 – 02:05 Finding the Balance Between Boundaries and Flexibility02:06 – 03:04 Why Financial Security Matters to Me03:05 – 04:00 Dating Younger Partners and Managing Family Differences04:01 – 05:07 Politics, Rigidity, and Emotional Maturity05:08 – 06:39 STIs, Safe Sex, and Setting Clear Health Boundaries06:40 – 07:35 Being Open-Minded Without Losing Myself07:36 – 08:24 Final Thoughts: Boundaries as Acts of Self-LoveWant a deeper look?

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.

جدیدترین تصویر از وضعیت عفونت‌های مقاربتی (STIs) در استرالیا، روندهای نگران‌کننده‌ای را در ده سال گذشته نشان می‌دهد. گزارشی از مؤسسه کربی وابسته به دانشگاه نیو ساوت ولز نشان می‌دهد که شکاف در انجام آزمایش و مشکلات دسترسی، از عوامل مؤثر در افزایش موارد ابتلا هستند.

Vermont schools are required to provide comprehensive sex education. Classes cover everything from STIs to consent. Jenna Emerson, a certified sex educator and stand-up comedian, and Celia Bird, a family nurse practitioner and comprehensive sex educator, share how they create age-appropriate lesson plans, and embrace the awkward humor of the human body. At a national level, the Trump administration cut sex ed funds for California after the state refused to remove references to gender identity from its curriculum. If the same thing happens in Vermont, the state could lose more that $650,000 dollars in federal funds. We'll learn more from Carter Sherman, reproductive health and justice reporter with the Guardian US who's been following this story. She's also the author of The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future.

It's happened to most of us at least once. A condom breaks, it turns out the girl forgot to take her pill, or you got carried away and had sex even though you didn't have any condoms. These things happen, but the aftermath can be anxiety-inducing for a number of reasons.  A World Health Organisation report from May 2024 said that sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and syphilis in particular are on the rise. For example, the number of new syphilis cases among adults aged 15 to 49 increased from 7.1 million in 2020 to 8 million in 2022. The report suggested that a lack of screening was largely to blame. What are the other main types of STIs then? What about the risk of unwanted pregnancy? What's the best way to protect myself? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Judson and Brian beat the heat by hunkering down in the basement to answer another set of Go Ask Your Dad questions from our listeners! But first, Brian and Judson each negotiate rules with their husbands for running “sexy errands” during their respective trips to Provincetown. One listener educates Brian and Judson on gay car enthusiast culture, while another educates them on the proper terminology for a sex act discussed on a previous episode. Judson suffers through a tense week at work. Brian suffers through withdrawal from his daughter while she is at sleepaway camp. The “Hookup of the Week” leaves both feeling envious and pondering the magical qualities of hot tubs. After the break, Judson and Brian respond to several listener questions ranging from how best to communicate the desire to see a hookup again, to how to think about integrating one's gay self with their work self after a promotion to a management position, to how to keep years of shame from turning oneself into a prude, to handling STIs in an open relationship, to what Judson believes to be the toughest question they've addressed yet from a listener in an open, long-distance relationship whose demisexual partner has begun to hookup with his roommate. They end with a voice memo from a repeat submitter with a unique request that could help him find the love of his life.

Well, I hate to say it, but I'm going to say it: "I Told You So". Back in 2019, we released an episode called "Mycoplasma genitalium: An Overlooked STI". Then, in Sept 2023, we released an episode called, "The Neglected STI", referring to trichomoniasis. Well, on July 22, 2025, a new commentary was released in the AJOG which is making the case why both Trich and MGen SHOULD be reportable STIs, yet they are currently not reportable. Listen in for details and a quick summary/reminder on therapy. 1. https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(25)00498-3/fulltext2. https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/trichomoniasis.htm3.https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/mycoplasmagenitalium.htm

In this essential episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily sits down with Dr. Ina Park, associate professor at UCSF School of Medicine and author of "Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs." From her early days as a peer educator dressed as a giant condom at UC Berkeley to becoming a leading expert in sexual health, Dr. Park brings both humor and expertise to one of the most stigmatized topics in sexual wellness. We dive deep into the myths and realities surrounding STIs, exploring why HPV is truly "the common cold of the genitals" that nearly everyone will encounter, how herpes stigma far outweighs its actual health impact, and why people who know their status are actually safer partners than those who don't. Dr. Park shares fascinating insights about everything from The Bachelor's problematic STI testing to the connection between pubic hair grooming and infection risk. This conversation tackles the shame and fear that keep us from having honest discussions about sexual health, while providing practical advice on testing, disclosure, and maintaining healthy relationships regardless of STI status. We also explore the vaginal microbiome, why some people are more susceptible to infections, and promising new treatments on the horizon. Key Topics Covered: HPV: Why it's unavoidable and how to think about it differently Herpes disclosure and reducing transmission risk The truth about oral sex and STI transmission Pubic hair, Brazilian waxes, and infection risk Vaginal health and the microbiome Why knowing your status makes you a safer partner Breaking down STI stigma and shame Dr. Park's refreshing approach reminds us that STIs are simply part of being sexually active humans, and that knowledge, communication, and compassion are our best tools for sexual wellness.
