In our second bonus episode, Matty and Brooke are joined by Cara Taheny, a nurse practitioner specialising in sexual and reproductive health. Together, they tackle the stigmas surrounding STIS by answering some of your most frequently asked questions.  

From;
Does the pill stop any STIs?
How often should we get tested? And what happens during an STI test?
They even delve into whose responsibility it is to buy condoms.

Think of Cara as your STI guru, and we’re here to make STI testing sexy!
After all, 1 in 6 Australians will get an STI in their lifetime and most STIs do not show symptoms, so you could have an STI and not know it.

Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respect to Elders past and present. Please note This episode will have women's business and men's business being discussed as it will talk about sexual health.
