We’re kicking off Bi Health Awareness Month 2025 by diving straight into Sexual Health and HIV—two areas where bi+ folks often face unique challenges and misinformation. This episode covers everything from safer sex strategies and HIV prevention to the tricky conversations we have (or don’t have) with healthcare providers about being bi+.

Chad and Steve share personal stories, discuss the stigma that keeps so many of us from getting tested or disclosing our identities at the clinic, and unpack how better resources can lead to better outcomes. Whether you’ve ever felt ignored in a “gay-only” health setting or worried your doctor wouldn’t “get it,” this conversation is for you.

And don’t worry—we’ll also point you to some awesome resources from the Bisexual Resource Center and beyond, so you can walk away feeling more informed and empowered than ever.
