It's Allie Ward.

This is the Ologies podcast.

Today we are tickling your heart by talking about testing.

It's sexually transmitted infections.

Let's practice some erotic medicine with an expert you're going to fall in love with mentally.

But first, thank you to the patrons of Ologies at patreon.com slash ologies who support the show for as low as a dollar a month.

and who submit questions before we record.

Thank you to everyone wearing Ologies merch from ologiesmerch.com and finding each other in the wild.

You can tag us on Instagram or you can DM us pictures that we can share.

Thanks, of course, to everyone who leaves reviews for the show.

So many lovely ones.

They help so much.

Each week, I prove that I read them.

I pick a new one, such as Atran R., who wrote, I've listened to this podcast for like six years and I feel bad that I'm only now writing a review.

This podcast is amazing, and if she reads this review in an episode, I hope it's for something cool like lasers or pirates or something.

HNR, it's about syphilis and stigmas and buttholes, so I hope you like that.

Worth the wait.

Also, Angie14, long-time listener, first-time reviewer, I see you.

Also, thank you to sponsors of the show who make it possible for us to donate to causes each week.

Okay, on to this week's guest.
