The topic of incurable sexually transmitted disease is a sensitive one – but that doesn’t stop “Is This Normal?” from talking about it! This Thursday, February 23, at 7 p.m. PST, Emily and Simone sit down with Adina Nack, Ph.D., to discuss public perception of STDs and HPV in the media.
Dr. Nack is the author of “Damaged Goods: Women Living With Incurable STDs” and she has been researching and writing about sexuality and stigma since 1994. She writes articles and essays on a variety of sexual health topics and she has appeared on CBS’s “The Doctors” and MTV documentaries. Her findings have also been heard on radio programs such as NPR and FOX News Radio and in print in local and regional newspapers and magazines. She gives workshops on how academic research can help solve social problems.
