Responses to Your STD Have Nothing to Do with You – Stigma
Turning a New Page Tonight was my last official night as a pizza pie maker and cook. In walking home (which, happened to be just a block away), I thought about my departure and short tenure as a cook for the local pizza shop – next month, I begin teaching at the community college. I […]
Revelations, STDs, & Stigma: An Outsider’s Perspective – Happy Hump Day Podcasts

People don’t share that information for a number of reasons, including the immense stigma attached to anyone who has […]
