One of the biggest reasons why herpes is so dreaded is because it stays with you forever. It’s one of the few things you're guaranteed to take with you when you die. The reason is because it’s a virus.

Now compared to getting chlamydia or ghonorrea or even strep throat these are all bacterial infections, not viruses. So when a person is diagnosed with say chlamydia a doctor will prescribe an antibiotic that will kill the chlamydia living in your body. You …

Life With Herpes

It’s so easy to look back with the knowledge that you have now and say I shoulda coulda woulda etc. If you could turn back the time you could pick the winning lotto tickets or ace the final exam or even sweet the one you love off your feet.

Life With Herpes

Alright, I’ll just jump right to it. We hate having the “sex” talk and even worse we hate having the “safe sex” talk.

I’m sure we all could come up with some really classic responses. In fact, you should let us all know your favorite response to the “safe sex” talk.

Hi there! On today’s episode my husband, Bill, is joining us. Yay! There’s been a ton of Secret Society members who’ve been asking about Bill and wanting to know what his true thoughts were when it came to be with me, us having sex and the risks of transmitting herpes.

Life With Herpes

The ego is a really strong influence on our lives. The ego has some really good quality and of course, it can have some bad qualities.

Life With Herpes

I have to imagine that dating has been around since the first humas roamed this earth. Finding love, compaionship, friendship and the desire to reproduce is just in our DNA. And from my opinion it’s in pretty much every species DNA. Now, don’t quote me on that, I’m in no way a National Geographic or Animal Planet expert.
