Is That a Load in Your Teeth or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: COT 12

City of Tea (916)

We are back from summer break & hopping right into City of Tea with a Season 2 banger ;) of an opener, including a new theme song by Sacrament's own, Bust Nuttington!

In this episode we are joined by sexual health educator, Elaine, to get the tea on getting your orifices tested - for free! No, there isn't a test for everything, yes you have to ask for specific tests, & syphilis didn't die with Al Capone - so get tested! We learn that Sacramento takes the STD bronze in ranking for highest cases of gonorrhea in California's 58 counties (2021), & maybe Invisalign bj's are better...loads excluded.

Grab a pen & paper, you'll want to take notes because Elaine brings it, but just in case you aren't the note taking type, we got you (keep scrolling).

xx,

Shannon, Gabe & PJ
