Today Alexa is talking with Alexandra Harbushka, the founder of Life with Herpes, an online community dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes. They discuss the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2 and statistics on how common they are. Alexandra emphasizes the importance of comprehensive STI conversations with partners, noting that herpes is often excluded from STI panels and condoms can't always prevent transmission. From managing the virus and boosting the immune system to navigating the often tricky world of dating with herpes, Alexandra offers insightful advice and fosters a supportive community for those living with the condition.
