It鈥檚 uncomfortable to talk about, but government statistics from 2020 show rates of sexually transmitted infections were highest among black people. De-Graft teams up with guest presenter Cherry, to look at the reasons why this has been the case for several years. They sit down and delve into it with Dr Annabel Sowemimo, who founded the sexual health organisation, Decolonising Contraception.

We also hear from Aisha Namurach, who runs Common Ambition Bristol, a sexual health project for people from African and Caribbean backgrounds. She tells us what needs to be done to address the disparities.

And it鈥檚 festival season, so De-Graft goes to one to talk to you guys about STI stigma, with the help of Love Sex Life - an organisation offering sexual health support to the black community in south London.
