Herpes Happens

Herpes is common, manageable, and far less dramatic than pop culture suggests. In this episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure break down HSV-1 vs HSV-2, how herpes spreads, why routine screening isn’t always recommended, and how antiviral treatments keep outbreaks and transmission under control. They also tackle dating, disclosure, pregnancy safety, and the emotional side of diagnosis. If herpes has ever caused anxiety or confusion, this episode replaces fear with facts — and a lot more peace of mind.
