In this episode of the podcast we discuss some of the common presentations we see at Sydney Sexual Health Centre that aren’t necessarily sexually transmitted infections. Though they aren’t sexually transmitted it can sometimes be difficult to know what it is based on symptoms alone. It is still important to get it checked out by a GP or at a sexual health clinic to look after your sexual health. We discuss thrush, bacterial vaginosis, and some other common conditions that people will come to see us about.More information: Family Planning Fact Sheets: https://www.fpnsw.org.au/factsheets MSHC Fact Sheets: https://www.mshc.org.au/sexual-health/sexual-health-fact-sheets Play Safe Fact Sheets: https://playsafe.health.nsw.gov.au/common-stis/ Mpox: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/mpox.aspx#:~:text=Mpox%20is%20an%20infection%E2%80%8B,who%20have%20sex%20with%20men.Call the Sexual Health Infolink (SHIL) for more information 1800 451 624.Host: Thomas Munro (he/him) Guests: Dr. Prashanthi Mathew (she/her) Sexual Health Registrar, SSHCTo stay up to date with the latest information in sexual health, follow us on social media:www.facebook.com/SydneySHC www.twitter.com/SydneySHC www.instagram.com/sydneysexualhealth/ www.linkedin.com/company/sydney-s…al-health-centreWe acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this podcast was produced.

For some people living with HIV, the social distancing restrictions have led to an increase in social isolation.To discuss the detrimental effects of social isolation and importance of community connection, I am joined by Senior Clinical Psychologist Brendan Crozier. Though it’s not all bad news, there are resources available to help maintain connection through these challenging times. To talk about one of these, I’m joined by a volunteer and client from the Ankali Project: Suzie and Rodney.http://thealbioncentre.org.au/ankali-project/To stay up to date with the latest information in sexual health, you can follow us on social media:https://www.facebook.com/SydneySHC https://twitter.com/SydneySHC https://www.linkedin.com/company/sydney-sexual-health-centreHost: Thomas Munro (he/him) Guests: Suzie and Rodney (Ankali project), Brendan Crozier (SSHC)We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this podcast was recorded.

Poppers, also known as Amyl, are names given to chemicals of the class Alkyl Nitrites. They are used by many gay and bisexual men as they have a relaxation effect on involuntary smooth muscles, and can assist in bottoming during anal sex.In June 2018, Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) motioned to reschedule alkyl nitrites to be in the same category as heroin and cocaine (Schedule 9). This was met by criticism from the LGBTIQ community for being discriminatory. A coalition of activists, doctors, and policy professionals joined forces to oppose the ban. After community consultations, the TGA decided not to proceed with the ban – though the outcome has left many wondering what comes next?In this podcast I am joined by two of the community activists involved in defeating the proposed ban on poppers: Steve Spencer and Daniel Reeders.To find out more about the ban, and how to access poppers safely and legally, go to:https://www.rinseandrepeat.info/To stay up to date with the latest information in sexual health, you can follow us on social media:https://www.facebook.com/SydneySHC https://twitter.com/SydneySHC https://www.linkedin.com/company/sydney-sexual-health-centreHost: Thomas Munro (he/him) Guests: Steve Spencer and Daniel ReedersWe acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this podcast was recorded.

Welcome to the newest episode of the new Sydney Sexual Health Centre podcast! PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, was listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia in April 2018. This is a big step that has the potential to move PrEP prescribing out of specialist sexual health clinics and into primary care settings, making it more widely available to more people who need it. But we’re only a few months in and many people may have questions and concerns. So we’re asking: what do health professionals need to know about PrEP?
