SPFPP 281: The Crossroads of Sexual Health Care

I interview my friend Emily who worked on this campaign with me advocating for sex-positive, identity validating health care. I brought Emily on to discuss the challenges that exist as patients going to providers because they've worked on this type of advocacy for years through theater and work of course. This episode serves as an accountability piece for myself to move forward with my business idea of bridging the gap between health care providers and patients by giving providers experience talking about sex and sexual health with patients. I want to bring this back because integrating our experiences post-diagnosis into early interventions of STD Prevention. This means that creating confidence navigating sex in the health care field will expand to our patients and expand in our education early on when it becomes more and more prevalent to our connections to others and I believe this outside in approach is an efficient pathway to the necessary self-sex education needed prior to exposure to an outcome that warrants questioning.
