Sexual Health is Public Health - STIs not STDs

EDIT: There were multiple mistakes we made in this episode that we want to amend: We did not use appropriate people first language when discussing STIs, this is our mistake. When discussing topics like STI we should always default to people first language to avoid stigmatization. HIV can be treated to undetectable viral loads, which also means they cannot transmit the virus in this state. Using the term "infected" and "carrier" for people living or diagnosed with HIV is stigmatizing and problematic (see people first language). Thank you to the listener who pointed this out! We are always open to learning and becoming better. The audio of the episode has been edited as well, hence the abrupt cuts at certain points. Apologies for the inaccurate information. We also want to recognize the important activism of people living with HIV, which transformed our public health and healthcare system. Sexually Transmitted Infections are a public health concern!

Public Health Pondering - Women Only Spaces

Women only spaces, gender-neutral bathrooms, TERFS, and Transphobia. CORRECTION: The term we used in this episode "people who identify as women" is inappropriate and the term we should have used is trans-women or cis-women. Our apologies! This is a learning process for us as well, and we always welcome constructive conversations to help with our understanding -MJ Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com    Instagram and Threads: Everything is Public Health Mastodon: @everythingispublichealth  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth      Photo Credit: Photo by Daryan Shamkhali on Unsplashhttps://unsplash.com/photos/RruN5QCjE_s?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplashSupport the show
