Listen "Your Patients Are Probably Having Anal Sex. Let's Talk About It."
Episode Synopsis
Your Patients Are Probably Having Anal Sex. Let's Talk About It. It’s Pride Month, so we thought: Why don’t we talk about anal health? (Or, as we will frequently refer to it on this podcast, butt stuff?) We know it’s a taboo, and many of us are uncomfortable discussing it with our patients. But even though it is awkward, when we recognize that HIV transmissions often occur through anal sex -- and that regardless of sex or gender, many people have anal sex at some point, whether they are admitting it or not -- we can appreciate that we really do need to talk about this. Our guest for this discussion is Jonathan Baker, PA-C, the Operations Director of Clinical Research at Laser Surgery Care and a leading clinical voice on issues related to anal sex and health care.
