In this episode, Boonie is in conversation with Vanessa Geffrard of Vagesteem. The conversation starts with BV, also known as bacterial vaginosis, and stresses the importance of seeking medical treatment. We explore the morning-after pill for STIs and the need for comprehensive protection. The conversation then shifts to discussing the morning-after pill for STIs, also known as Doxy-Prep. We explore different opinions on the use of this pill as a way to address behavior and prevent STIs.
Vanessa discusses the importance of condoms while acknowledging that they are not always used consistently. She also shares statistics that show non-Hispanic Black men are the highest demographic to use condoms compared to other races. She emphasizes the need for comprehensive protection and planning beyond relying solely on emergency contraception.
