It's the end of season one of Dating Bi Design podcast, and we're ending on a high note with part two of my conversation with Gina about dating with herpes. In this episode, we talk about how and when to disclose, the predatory nature of STI-positive dating apps, and a few of our favorite HSV+ comedians, actors, and influencers.
I hope to be back for season two very soon, but in the meantime I'll be working on some other exciting projects.

10. Dating with Herpes Part I with Gina
I have herpes. Somewhere between 1 in 6 and 1 in 3 people do too, so odds are good you either have it or know someone who does. And it's not a big deal!
This week, in Part I of this two-part series, Gina and I talk about our diagnoses and the limitations of healthcare providers to give compassionate and accurate information. Go get tested for STI's, friends! And don't forget to ask specifically for a herpes test.
