Strange Bedfellows

The Trouble with Sex

Whether you’re having sex or not – this episode is a must! Dr. Tammy invites author, Dr. Ina Park to demystify and educate us all on how common sexual transmitted infections (STIs) really are, the surprising ones on the rise, and how we can protect ourselves - and our partners - while enjoying our sex lives.
One in five people have a sexually transmitted infection. It doesn't matter if you're straight, queer, in a monogamous relationship, or if you have multiple partners - get tested. STI's are curable or manageable. Protect your health, your fertility and the health of your partners (now and in the future). Knowledge is power. Ask your doctor or visit https://gettested.cdc.gov to find out where to get tested.
