Safe Sex—Why It Always Matters

What does “safe sex” really mean in 2025? In this candid, myth-busting episode, Dr. Eve Glazier sits down with Dr. Raphael Landovitz, Director of the UCLA Center for Clinical AIDS Research & Education, to explore how sexual health has evolved—and why conversations about it still matter. From condoms to PrEP, from stigma to science, they discuss how to protect yourself and your partners, what’s new in HIV and STI prevention, and why inclusive, judgment-free dialogue is the most powerful tool of all. Whether you’re dating, partnered, or just curious, this episode will leave you better informed, less anxious, and more empowered to take charge of your sexual health—because caring for your sexual health is caring for your whole self. 🎧 Listen here. https://www.facebook.com/UCLAHealthCARECenter/ https://www.instagram.com/apt.ctu/ https://www.uclahealth.org/programs/care-center Podcast Credits UCLA Health Medically Speaking with Dr. Eve Glazier Host Dr. Eve Glazier Executive Producers Annie Krasnow Michael Burke Suzanne Koudsi Walker Producers Niki Miller Jessica Alabastro Creative Producer Kanza Shaheen Associate Producer Jennifer Feld Technical Directors Adrian Cardoso Andrew Stocks Editor Tony Sweet Recorded at Canella Media Special Thanks To our expert guests and the incredible staff across UCLA Health who make this podcast possible.
