52 Weeks of me: Living with Herpes
Andrea Haburshka was in control of her life until she was 28 when she had her annual pap smear and was diagnosed with genital herpes. Being in a committed monogamous relationship, she thought she never had to deal with any sexually transmitted diseases. That made her feel so alone, betrayed, and suffocated. The stigma of herpes, the preconceived notions about the promiscuity of people especially females that contract herpes, suddenly became her.
That Sex Chick

Alexandra emphasizes the importance of comprehensive STI conversations with partners, noting that herpes is often excluded from STI panels and condoms can't always prevent transmission.
