Episode 270: I asked for STD results and got ghosted!

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and implications of asking for STD results and the phenomenon of ghosting in sexual health conversations.

You did everything right — you had the talk, you asked for the results, and then... silence. This week on The Sex Wrap, we're unpacking the frustrating moment of someone disappearing the moment sexual health comes up. Is it shame? Fear? A red flag you should've clocked sooner? We're getting into why asking for STD results is still taboo, what the ghosting really means, and how to protect yourself, emotionally and physically, when someone can't handle the conversation.
