Ask Herpe is a thirty-something man with herpes. His partner, a twenty-something woman, also has herpes. The clusterfuck stumble through bad actors and worse information they went through led them to writing about the reality of living with herpes, so others can learn early on that the virus isn't the problem— it's the social stigma (and an internet full of misinformed trolls).
