About this listen
Sex is good. Fear-based sex education is not.
In this episode, we take an honest, evidence-based look at HIV transmission — what your real risk actually is, how it’s measured, and why it’s often dramatically misunderstood.
We break down:
• Per-act HIV transmission rates (vaginal, anal, oral)
• Why receptive anal sex carries higher risk — and what that actually means numerically
• What U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable) truly means
• How viral load changes risk
• How PrEP reduces transmission
• Where DoxyPEP fits — and where it doesn’t
• Why panic often spreads faster than the virus
HIV is serious. It is also manageable, preventable, and in many contexts, far less transmissible than most people assume.
Understanding risk doesn’t encourage recklessness. It reduces stigma. It reduces fear. And it allows adults to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.
Sex is good. Let’s talk about it like adults.
