    Whether you’re having sex or not – this episode is a must! Dr. Tammy invites author, Dr. Ina Park to demystify and educate us all on how common sexual transmitted infections (STIs) really are, the surprising ones on the rise, and how we can protect ourselves - and our partners - while enjoying our sex lives.
