Welcome everyone to the Melanin Initiative, I am Alisha Brown and one of your co-host for the Melanin Initiative podcast. “In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time.

In this episode we talk about:

Sexually transmitted infections or STIs, formally known at STDs or sexually transmitted diseases
The most common STIs
Who’s at risk
How disease is transmitted
Testing and treatment options
