Today Alexa is talking with Alexandra Harbushka, the founder of Life with Herpes, an online community dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes. They discuss the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2 and statistics on how common they are. 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. From managing the virus and boosting the immune system to navigating the often tricky world of dating with herpes, Alexandra offers insightful advice and fosters a supportive community for those living with the condition.Today on That Sex Chick:Understanding oral & genital herpes: HSV-1 and HSV-2Alexandra's personal journey with herpesHerpes management & understanding stages and symptomsNavigating dating & conversations with potential partnersLife With Herpes: building a supportive community and shattering mythsThis show is sponsored by:Yoni Pleasure Palace | Visit yonipleasurepalace.com and get 15% off with the code THATSEXCHICK.Sex Coach Prep School: sexandlove.co/prep-school Connect with Alexandra:Instagram: @lifewithherpes Website: www.lifewithherpes.com Free eBook: outbreakremedies.comYouTube: Life With HerpesPodcast: Life With HerpesConnect with Alexa:Instagram: @thatsexchickWebsite: sexandlove.coFree resources: sexandlove.co/resourcesFacebook Group: Sex & Love Co Community Click here to submit your review for That Sex Chick, and you’ll get access to “Uncover Your Inner Kink,” a guided meditation and more, created by Alexa! This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
