On this episode we got super serious and talked about the numbers and statistics when it comes to STIs in the black and brown community. Dr. Kiesha Benn joined us for an informational session on how to advocate for yourself when it comes to speaking to your doctors, knowing your status, prevention, etc. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series on STIs in our communities and how we need to use our voices more to speak up for our needs. We addressed the most common STIs such as HPV, Chlamydia, Genital herpes, Gonorrhoea (the clap), Hepatitis B, HIV, Trichomoniasis, and Syphilis. We got into which ones are curable and which aren't, how you should take care of yourself if you're infected, and more. This episode is full of information that everyone needs to know!
