In this episode, I bring on Family Medicine Doctor and friend, Dr. Maya Benitez, where we get real about knowing your status. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are common but not often talked about for many reasons. We discuss what the different types of STDs are, which ones are treatable and untreatable, and tips to make it easier to bring up the topic in front of partners and to your provider.
Dr. Maya Benitez is a Los Angeles based Family Medicine Doctor and sees patients from 8 years of age and older. She is also passionate about Women's Health issues which is the reason we get along so well.
