About

I know sexual health can feel awkward to talk about, but I keep things confidential and judgment-free. You don’t have to worry about being embarrassed here. I’m all about facts, not panic.

What You Should Know

• Any kind of sex carries some risk, even oral. Diseases like Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, and HPV can spread this way. HIV risk is lower with oral, but not zero.
• Using protection isn’t just a suggestion - it’s necessary for safer sex.
• Not all groin rashes or itches are STDs. There are other causes, so don’t jump to conclusions.

How I Diagnose and Treat

I rely on science, not guesswork. For genital warts, I use cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezes the infected cells). It’s needle-free, but needs more than one session and depends on your immune response.

For pubic lice diagnosis, I use a dermatoscope to spot lice and eggs. Shaving and medication might be needed, since condoms don’t help with lice.

If you come in with a rash, I might use a Wood’s lamp for quick answers - it can show if you’ve got Erythrasma, a bacterial infection, instead of a fungal one.

Testing and treatment for HIV, Syphilis, or Gonorrhea is straightforward. I break down myths and keep things simple.

Prevention & Real Talk

I’m here to help you prevent issues, not just treat them. Your habits matter - smoking, for example, can mess with sexual health. So, take care of your general health too. And remember, open conversation always helps.
