I’m getting this one online by the hair on my chinny chin chin tonight! (It’s almost midnight EST.) I’ve been so wrapped up in trying to get the book published, I’m barely able to keep up with podcasts, and posting, and comments, and puff! my ‘house’ feels like it’s blowing down.

Herpes Blood Tests – Why I Haven’t Been Type-Specific Tested Yet
Recently, I had a written exchange with a reader about blood testing for HSV1/HSV2. In my interview, I previously mentioned not having taken a blood test to determine which strain of HSV I’m living with*.

My response to ‘I’ve never had any STDs.’
The STI Project’s been up and running for a little over 7 months now. In that time, I’ve told more people I have an STD than probably anyone with an STD does in their entire lifetime. People don’t share that information for a number of reasons, including the immense stigma attached to anyone who has […]
The 1st Time I Heard About STDs
At 15 years old, I was naive, boisterous, and ignorant. I’d love to sugar-coat my naiveté, but unfortunately, I was clueless. Not only was I a witless blockhead concerning the world in which I lived, I was convinced I knew what lie ahead. Keep in mind, I’ve come quite a long way from those days […]
