Reviews
Dr. Dowler has done it again! A nationally-recognized expert on sexuality and management of STDs, she turns an often uncomfortable and critically important topic into a relaxed and approachable conversation. Her encouraging and engaging voice shines through. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this conversation with Shannon.
In easy-to-read, interesting, and engaging language, Never Too Late educates and informs older adults about sexually transmitted infections as they explore new avenues of sexuality. Dr. Dowler has had a long career in the diagnosis and treatment of STIs, and her knowledge and experience shine through in stories of her own life as well as stories during her clinical career.
Well-written and full of humor. I love how Dr. Dowler interweaves case studies with important information about sexually transmitted infections. I also appreciate the inclusion of demographic diversity, such as stories from same sex relationships, and the attention paid to different cultures, such as the Latinx community.
The need for sexual health education that reaches all audiences is critical as rates of STIs continue to rise. Dr. Dowler's inclusion of her own personal and professional experiences navigating the world of sexual health is as humorous as it is informative. A truly enjoyable read.
Dr. Dowler's fascination with sexually transmitted infections is rivaled only by her passion to educate individuals about them. From one-on-one conversations with patients, to creative raps, engaging presentations for healthcare professionals, and now this book, her goal is to make sure people understand the risks that exist when things get intimate.
