Christos Krasidis joins me for a practical, stigma-free conversation about what it really means to take care of your sexual health in today’s world. We explore how to spot early STI symptoms, when and how often to get tested, and why testing regularly should be treated as an act of self-care rather than something to feel ashamed of.
