Sex Ed for Adults: How COVID-19 Discussions Can Normalize Understanding Herpes
Proud to highlight this interview in @seattletimes (online and in print—eek!) in “Sex Ed for adults: How COVID-19 discussions can help normalize our understanding of herpes.”
One can draw several parallels between COVID and herpes, which can also be triggering for those diagnosed. From the Stop The Donald (STD) campaign, to asymptomatic vs. presenting symptoms, to mask and condom wearing (or lack there of), and the shame that comes attached to a positive result.
Thank you to journalist @dating_in_seattle, as well as @honmychest for the connection. For those interested in reading, I’ll link the article in my stories.
