Ari chats with infectious disease nurse & HIV specialist, Evan. Evan & Ari discuss terrible experiences with STI clinics, what a day in the life of HIV panel management looks like for Evan, and the social aspects of care that keep people from seeking the sexual healthcare they deserve.

 

Burning Questions answered in this episode:

• Why PrEP & PEP is for everyone, not just those predisposed to HIV contraction/transmission
• Where and how to find sexual health resources in your area that are often free
• Why you should be getting an oral and anal swab during an STI panel (and what providers are missing when they don't include this)
• How to advocate for judgement-free STI testing and symptom management with your healthcare provider
