Listen "What's your STD status?"

Episode Synopsis

What's your STD status? No, the question isn't to be answered for anyone else but for yourself. I had to ask myself that question as I sat in my doctor's office, worried that my ex-husband's infidelities not only hurt me mentally but physically as well. I asked myself that question but instead of wondering, I gazed fear in the face and took the STD tests. So, I encourage you today my friend... If you don't know your status, please talk with your doctor, health care institution, health department, mobile clinic, etc... So that you do know your status! YOU are Loved, YOU are Worthy, & YOU Matter! Period!!
