When the sun is shining and the conversation gets messy, Diva Mia and Diva Cat invite you into a room where nothing is off-limits. In this episode they pull back the curtain on sexually transmitted infections — the bacterial, the viral, and the ones no one wants to name out loud — and stitch together stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and sit up straight.
Through a college-era confession, a near-fatal kidney infection scare, and hard-won personal rules about testing and protection, the hosts take listeners on a narrative journey from impulse to consequence. You’ll hear how a single night can spiral into months of treatment, ruined trust, and lifelong stigma — and how simple acts like peeing after sex, wiping front-to-back, or insisting on an STD panel can change the arc of a life.
They unpack the science without losing the humanity: what’s curable (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis), what persists (herpes, HPV, HIV), and why antibiotics, antivirals, vaccines, and gut health all matter. Along the way they expose myths — you can’t rely on a blood donation as a full-screening, and yes, some infections travel without penetrative sex — and name the practical steps that actually protect you and the people you love.
But this episode is more than a how-to guide. It’s a conversation about shame and survival: how stigma pushes people into silence, how relationships fracture when secrets surface, and how honest testing and disclosure could transform dating culture. The hosts mix statistics with empathy, calling out the negligence that’s fueling record rates of STIs while offering listeners straightforward ways to reclaim control.
Whether you’re a teen heading to college, an adult reentering the dating scene, or someone who simply wants to be informed, this episode is a wake-up call wrapped in relatable stories. Expect practical tips, raw confessions, and the kind of real talk that saves lives — because the best kind of empowerment starts with knowledge.
Tune in to hear Diva Mia and Diva Cat guide you through the messy, urgent world of sexual health — and leave with a plan to protect your body, your future, and your peace of mind.
