In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we uncover the silent epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—a growing health issue that affects 1 in 5 Americans, often without any symptoms.
We discuss the most common STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HPV, and HIV, and why asymptomatic carriers are a major reason they continue to spread. You'll also learn about the risks of leaving STIs untreated—from infertility and organ damage to cancer and chronic disease.
🎧 Tune in to learn why regular, confidential STI testing is essential for everyone who is sexually active—and how fast, easy, and private today’s testing options can be.
