This is the second episode in the herpes series. There is so much misinformation out there about herpes, consequently, there is a huge stigma that comes with being diagnosed with the virus. My intention for this series is to open dialogue about herpes and to help de-shame the experience for those who test positive. 

I want to reiterate, if you test positive for herpes and you are struggling with the diagnosis, know this… you are not alone.
