Apple Podcasts5spookyhunnyUnited States6 years ago - Awesome and very helpful podcast
Make sure you listen to this if you have herpes, have somebody in your life that has herpes, or are just sexually active and want to educate yourself. It has some slight incorrect facts in the beginning, but small, less important, and they are mostly corrected later in the podcast.
Apple Podcasts5Alexandrus13United States8 years ago - Thank you
This has been really helpful. I was diagnosed (if that’s the proper term) 5 months ago and I sought as much information and support as possible when I found out but now that I’m seeing someone new, I wanted to get some advice on how to tell them and this whole podcast has been great. Thank you so much.
