Everything is public health and public health is for everyone.  

So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, protecting our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. This is the world of public health; a science of understanding the countless forces and designing solutions to help prevent or mitigate harm and improve the health and well-being of the people. Public health saved your life today, and you probably didn't notice.

  • 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!

Medical gaslighting refers to instances when physicians dismiss, ignore, or undermine the complains and symptoms of patients. While it could happen to any patient, historically women were the primary group affected by this phenomenon. From the lack of investment in women's reproductive health to the residual effect of "hysteria" as a diagnosis, women often face instances when they were told there is nothing wrong with them despite how they are feeling.

Public health is the health of everyone. Any systemic issue half of the human population face deserves attention.

The spirit of public health is the health of everyone, the entire population, and therefore it is imperative that everyone gets to vote. When we typically think of voting, we think about the big ticket positions like the president, US Senators or US Representatives. But when it comes to the laws and policies that actually have the most impact on our lives, they pertain to a whole separate area of voting that often flies under the radar. Local elections have the most intimate and proximal impact on our daily lives and our health. This episode discusses not just why voting matters, but why voting in local election is so much more important than most people may believe. 

P.S. When we recorded this, Florida was still oblivious for the COVID surge that is happening right now. By the time this is released, we can see the consequences of the Florida governor in full swing.

But a proper sex education is important to help the teens and young adults prevent STIs, unexpected pregnancies, and understand their bodily functions. For many of us it was a comprehensive experience, but for a sizable fraction their experience was much more limited or an abstinence only curriculum. In other words, the focus was on preventing sex altogether instead of providing the information to reduce risks.  What is the history and origin of abstinence only sex ed? What health impact does it have? And most importantly, is it effective? (No). Join us and special guest Caitlin in a two part special that examines the issue of abstinence only sex ed.
