On this episode, we talk with "sex detectives" Rick Turpin and Nestor Kamurigi, more formally known as Community-Embedded Disease Intervention Specialists. On the frontlines of stopping the spread of STIs, they take on the task of anonymously informing sexual partners of possible exposure. Unpacking the rising rates of syphilis in the U.S. and debunking STI myths runing rampant on TikTok, Rick and Nestor go beyond the surface in this candid and compassionate conversation.

Each episode, we’ll welcome members of our care team to discuss trending topics in medicine and wellness to help you take charge of your health.
