Ari interviews Herpes Awareness Advocate & Activist, Courtney Brame. Courtney and Ari chat about how a sex-averse society makes it easier for STI transmission, and Courtney gives advice on how to have casual, safer, communicative sex while being an STI-positive person.
Burning Questions answered in this episode:

- What is the STARS method of STI disclosure?
