by | Jul 19, 2023

In this educational and empowering episode of Please Me! Podcast, host Eve, licensed physical therapist and sexual health advocate, breaks down the fundamentals of safe sex, HPV awareness, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. This episode is designed to provide clear, accurate, and stigma-free sexual health education—because informed choices lead to healthier bodies and safer intimacy.

Eve dives into what HPV (Human Papillomavirus) really is, why it’s one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, and why so many people are unaware they have it. She explains how HPV is transmitted, why testing and regular screenings are essential, and how early detection can significantly reduce long-term health risks.

The conversation also covers the HPV vaccine, including how it works, who it’s recommended for, and its critical role in preventing cervical cancer, uterine cancer, and genital cancers. Eve addresses common misconceptions surrounding the vaccine and emphasizes why prevention is a powerful form of self-care.
