Episode Synopsis

Did you know that STIs are on the rise in people 34 and under? And that 1 in 6 Australians will get an STI in their lifetime and with most STIs, they don't even show symptoms.  There's a lot of stigma and myths out there surrounding STIs and we're on a mission to dispel them!  Welcome to our first of 2 bonus episodes focussed on quelling the stigma surrounding STIs. Today Brooke and Matty share some of the common questions they have, as well as open up about some experiences they've had with sexual health testing.  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.  LINKS Follow @itsmattymills on Instagram Follow @brooke.blurton on Instagram  Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram   Book a check-up today and visit health.gov.au/STI to find out more.   You can visit the National Association of People with HIV Australia here: https://napwha.org.au/ You can visit the National Hepatitis Infoline here: https://www.nationalhepatitisinfoline.org.au/  You can visit Homelessness Australia here: https://homelessnessaustralia.org.au/homelessness-services/  CREDITSHosts: Brooke Blurton and Matty MillsExecutive Producer/ Editor: Rachael HartManaging Producer: Ricardo Bardon Listen to more great podcasts at novapodcasts.com.au   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
