Strange Bedfellows translates the latest science of sexually transmitted infections (STI) by blending stories of real people’s sexual escapades, historical tales, and in-depth interviews with leading scientists, venturing beyond the bedroom to examine the hidden role that STIs have played in our lives and society. Hailed by The New York Times as “joyful and funny” Strange Bedfellows was praised for its use of “compassion, science and a loving playfulness” to diffuse the stigma surrounding these common infections.
