Hi team! A requested episode today and one that I have been meaning to cover for a long time. This episode will be paired with an upcoming ep involving a guest who has been diagnosed with genital herpes. Today, we go through the facts. We talk about the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2, the symptoms involved and how to get treated. We also go through how the stigma was created and I could not believe how crazy this story was!
Thanks, as always, for listening and learning with me.
