Navigating Herpes Disclosure

My co-worker, Savannah and I do a mock disclosure playing around with the STARS Talk you hear me reference so often (www.maketimeforthetalk.com). The way we connected for this conversation stemmed from my own confidence expressing the aspects of my identity that came after my herpes diagnosis. The “Life is about what happens THROUGH you, not TO you” is essentially what I live by. You see that demonstrated throughout this episode as well. We talk about the usefulness of disclosing to “high risk” people and discuss the benefits that come from that helping us disclose to potentially sexual partners.
