This week the incredibly talented Ella Dawson (TedX Talks, MTV) joins Erica and Molly to talk all about herpes. Ella talks about how she became “herpes famous” and how she reclaimed the narrative of her diagnosis to play a positive, empowering role in her life. The three discuss methods of how and when to disclose to partners, slut shaming, as well as why people with herpes can and should still participate in hookup culture and more.
