  • Summary

  • This podcast is made for with those doing the day-to-day work with people experiencing sexually transmitted infections (STI), including HIV. Actively engaging with the science of research may not resonate with many disease intervention professionals who may just be too busy to take time out of the workday to sit down in a quiet space and read a research article. The goal of this podcast is to present a study in such a way that the STI professional and those interested in learning more about STI research can easily engage with the content.
