Setting the Scene

Possibly the hardest part of having herpes is telling a partner about it. I spent the last few weeks discussing whether and when it may be appropriate to tell a new partner, now I’d like to spend a little time taking on the subject of how it can be done.

To Tell or Not to Tell? Part I

If you're a Herpes sufferer, and especially if you've been diagnosed recently, you may often think your love life, and sex life, is over. But I assure you it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, I am living proof that one can have both love and sex post-Herpes diagnosis, while still walking the higher moral road. (Ok, so I'm not... Read more Chevron
