“If you are struggling with an STI diagnosis, or if you — or someone you know — needs to know that a diagnosis / stigma is not the end of the world, this podcast is not only a breath of fresh air, but also provides real talk, useful information and a sense of community and support for people who might be afraid to reach out and seek support — or who might not know the first place to look.
If this podcast is the first place you *do* look for support, you will have been lucky enough to stumble into one of the richest resources out there as far as information combined with empathy and wrapped up in fascinating conversations. Courtney Brave is a great interviewer. He sometimes worries that he talks “too much about himself” during the interview conversations with his guests, but part of what makes this podcast feel so relatable is that human-to-human conversational quality which is so absent from much the info people find when they first begin researching a diagnosis.
Despite data about the prevalence of STIs, it is easy to feel isolated, scared and confused when newly diagnosed with an STI. Fear of stigma keeps many people from talking openly about their diagnoses and as a result, many positive people still believe themselves to be alone.
If someone has never dealt with STI-or-other-types-of-stigma before, it may be tough to integrate who they thought they were *before* their diagnosis with what they have believed about people with that diagnosis (well hello there, stigma!).
STIs don’t just happen to “those people”. STIs and the stigma surrounding them affects us all, whether we know it or not. The relatability of the podcast guests and of the host himself helps to make it clear: we all have skills and our own unique perspective to share with the world. An STI doesn’t take away from that truth — truly something positive for positive people.”
