Interviews with people living with herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is the virus that causes herpes outbreaks. Hear experiences from everyday people on how they navigate stigma from diagnosis to dating to disclosure.
Hannah, who will have received her second shot is about to give dating a second shot! Having had HSV 4 years, she only disclosed to the guy she was seeing for those first 2, meaning she went 2 years without dating at all. She shares how therapy was supportive to her in being willing to put herself back out there after essentially feeling like when the relationship ended, she was diagnosed with HSV all over again.
